In 2005, Roberto Jefferson,  a political party president (PTB), after being accused for corruption, made serious allegations against the brazilian government. He said that another party, paid an allowance to some deputies, to vote for government projects and the main target was the Minister-Chief of Staff, José Dirceu.   

                                   

Roberto Jefferson told that, the deputies received around R$ 30.000,00 per month. Thenceforth, the fight started. Videos of deputies receiving money, advisers caught with money in his underwear and socks.. and allegations, more and more allegations started to appear to report the scheme of the monthly allowance (and the president, knew nothing! strange, is not ?!). An advertising executive, Marcos Valério, accused of being one of the creators of the monthly allowance, made threats, and distributed money to all who reported the scheme. So, "the circus was armed", deputies started to swear innocence, and make ethical discourses.

How can we believe in a person who, after being caught with R$ 100.000,00 in his underwear, says that all the money was from selling vegetables? The worst part is to see the education, health, security, of our country, getting worse, and know that the people that we ( or, most of us) choose to take care of Brazil are, actually, stealing from us.

During all these years, CPIs (Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry) were created, deputies and ministers, lost their office, but what prevailed was the impunity.

Today, was the first day of the trial, the trial of 5 hours, 3 hours were just to decide the way that the accused would be tried.

Men who were considered important in government, are now, paying for the greatest politics crime in Brazil. And they will be an example for the next one. 

Now, we can only wait for the end of the trial, because what is at stake is the reputation of one of the Republic's Power.
