Economic recession makes automakers come into crisis in Brazil

Image
Courtyard of automaker crowded: crisis After four years of economic growth close to 0% and clumsy political actions committed by President Dilma Rousseff, the Brazil plunged into an economic crisis without limits: the shares of Brazilian companies fell sharply in international markets, the dollar value rises gradually every day, the industrial production is paralyzed and the purchasing power of the middle class fell for the third consecutive year. But the main sector of the economy that was affected, was the automotive sector. Increase in industry taxes, imported parts more expensive, bureaucratic and inflexible labor laws, labors without skilled labor, lending difficulties and low purchasing power of most of the population, are factors that are contributing to the automakers not able to sell their vehicles and therefore are paralyzing their activities (Fiat and Ford) and firing (VW and GM) and even leaving the country (Mahimdra).

Man dressed as Batman argues with mayor of São Paulo Due to the increasing wave of violence that swept the Brazilian urban centers, several groups of people began to take justice into their own hands. Fight with bandits on the streets, arrest offenders on poles with chains and lynch the thieves in public places, became common activity in Brazil. To complete, a group of "vigilantes" began to act dressed as American superheroes fighting crime in Brazilian streets and even doing actions that benefit the environment.

Accumulated garbage in the streets of Maua Have been for more than two weeks the stoppage of public officials responsible for garbage collection in the cities of the ABC region (Santo André, São Bernardo, São Caetano do Sul and Maua). They demand salary increase equivalent to the inflation of the last 12 months and fairer working conditions. The mayors of these cities do not want to give the increase and claim to have with a deficit budget. Because of this, the waste is already accumulating in the corners, the doors of the school, hospitals and restaurants, indirectly causing the appearance of animals (rats, scorpions, snakes), which generate diseases like leptospirosis (transmitted by water contaminated with rat urine ).
