[Applause]
good night
is’re coming at night is to reach pink
south of belo horizonte
I’ve been talking to the taxi driver at
way he asks what you went
making efforts
I said so to come here but it’s a
alert on the subject, I will not be back
everything that is to die when talking about
political education talk about
democracy
Now you’re expensive Brazil is very much.
It’s difficult, cat problem, the situation is
very serious people adhere to the same
politicians
that same perception that people
traditionally has
people have about politics in general
in Brazil that the annoying policy that
politically partisan politics is very
It’s difficult, it’s a boy, everything has a solution.
this was a sun that equips to present
We’ll talk to you in this case.
specifically about this stage are
great politician I admire quite a lot
distant great on said a phrase I
I like it a lot, it says the following to
democracy is the best form of government
with the exception of all others already
were tested but when people
continues unhealthy democracy
Brazilian
We had this phrase from a very
relevant will see that many of you
know this moment of
promulgation of our constitution in
1988
but the question was to do for you is the
next, do we actually have a
constitution that we can call
I brought some points to speak
on our constitution the first
point about our constitution.
following the Brazilian constitution in 23
years and 88 2011 approved 67 amendments
compared to the constitution of the
united states in 224 years of existence
approved 27 amendments then the question that
I’ll do it for you, it’s the next thing I’ll do.
quantity is synonymous with quality
another important point when
The constitution was approved in 1988
many people understood that
constitution was there to please
different political groups because
there is an article of our constitution
speaks the following there is the defense of
private property provided that the
private truth serves a social function
Good but this speech is a bit
difficult to understand if it is owned
private social function this is a little
friend
another relevant point of Article 7 of the
urban and rural worker’s right
among several amendments we had in this
Article 7 one stated that the worker
would be protected against the automation of
production in the form of the law, ie
technological advances product
all of them would be prohibited due to
worker protection but has a
very important point of our
constitution, especially after the
military period which was the guarantee
freedoms but another
analysis that I bring to you is the
following in our constitution the word
guarantee appears 46 times
already the word rights appears 16 times
while the word must disappear
only four times
then do we really have a
constitution that guarantees us both
in what we should do with
what the government and society also
must deliver to us
this is the question that I and nazaré
We want to do it for you.
will it be that in fact our constitution
she is as democratic as we are
imagine
and see how interesting this research
adapting it made me a publication in
2016 to understand what it was to understand
What was the level of democracy in Brazil?
and arrived at the following result brazil
is in 51st place in relation to
level of democracy compared to other
the world because because of two
special political participation factors
and political culture and know that it is the worst
of everything in political culture that our
note and 3.75
We are the worst note in Latin America.
and we are very close to the one that is
considered the worst democracy in the world
than the north korea
the note from north korea 1.25 people
not too far from them but
then you will understand what these points are
specifically political culture wants
to tell the affinity that the Brazilian has
with authoritarian regimes that the
with military regimes.
What is the connection that the Brazilian has
condition
of politics as the Brazilian sees the
democracy as an important factor for
the Brazilian economic development and
Finally, as the Brazilian sees the
separation between state and church and we
we are poorly placed in this
analysis a little ahead talking about
political participation here we have
some criteria that have guaranteed us
that terrible note also for example the
Brazilian participation in politics
in relation to the vote
female representativeness in the
national congress for you to have an idea
Brazil is the 116th position in the ranking of
female representation in the congress
national very bad a very
too bad
and finally another important point is
Brazilian is interested in politics and
only 40% of Brazilians in this research
have indicated that they have an interest in
and see those of the relevant 96% of
Brazilians do not feel represented
by politicians we still have a die
more interesting here on the next slide
which says the following 97% of Brazilians
believe that it is necessary to have
renewal of Brazilian policy
Wonder how people know where people are
have to get to know what you need
renew will change everyone swap
congress exchange exchange camera exchange president
change everything but I think we suffer from
a sudden illness
after the election, which is as follows
amnesia after election period knows that
that means exactly this here
79% of voters do not remember who
voted the national congress in 2014 I
I believe that many of you do not
remember who you voted for
congress for state deputy and
federal in 2014 so it’s a wonder
Do you know where we want to go?
but we do not know how we
does not get there and neither does the
people are going to follow
and you know the consequence of it all
effects on both health and safety
corruption are the responsibility of the
Brazilian society
see here the electoral background of
The last elections of 2018 were
estimated at R $ 1.7 billion
public resources allocated to the
of matches
politicians in the last elections we
we had it now in 2018
another very important point about
education looks at this given sadness
thirty percent of the students who
completing primary education at the
of Portuguese and only 14% of the
students conclude with the appropriate level
math and we have more problems
in Brazil for example security
In Brazil we have a rate of 60 thousand
homicides per year in são paulo
considered the most developed state
of our country only 5% of these homicides
were judged more than 13 million
Brazilians live in extreme poverty.
extreme poverty ie they have less
than $ 1.9 per day
already 52 million Brazilians, or
more or less 25% of the population lives
below the poverty line with less than
$ 5.5 per day
and there talking about corruption a theme that
is so in vogue here especially
in recent elections in recent years
what have we seen in brazil?
it is estimated that 100 billion reais are
diverted to corruption
imagine how many hospitals
schools as well as investment
could be done with 100 billion
real
it’s a lot of money a lot of money and what
the root of our democracy problem
who are the main culprits of
problem of our democracy
Do you know who we are Brazilians?
the main culprits is not the government
it’s not the politicians are we because
People know we want to arrive.
but we do not do anything to be able
get there and it’s brought you a sentence that I
I really like what it is
we do not know what we do not know anymore
We expect a lot from what little
we know that they portray accredited
brought you from the renewal and examination where the
people want to renew but we
remember who we voted in the last
elections and this index of democracy
local research was promoted by the
institute acting to understand everything well
Brazil has a problem that is general
democracy but let’s understand micro
Let’s go in the city to understand what the
local democracy problem
first research was in Curitiba and the
index of local democracy in curitiba
It was 49% below the very bad half
also for two reasons what are they
political culture and political participation
and look at the interesting data only 27% of
curitibanos affirmed that they would be sure
in whom to vote
if the vote were mandatory or the
I vote in Brazil, so it turned out to be a mere
formality because if you do not have
sure that who is voting city
there only to fulfill their obligation as
of four years or citizen
two in two and if we compare the
elections in different spheres
in another relevant point in this research
with the curitibanos
more than 90% of the
who have never attended a session of
vote in an assembly on a camera in
and 77% of the
they never participated in a
political manifestation then people get
people do not do our part and stay
waiting for the government to do something
for democracy in Brazil to improve
for our day to day improve
We are not going to leave the place and there it is.
What happened to our job a
a little further ahead than was the politize
who the association is the work that I already
I am representing here the politize is the
largest political education portal of the
Brazil today, the politician started in 2015
after the 2013 demonstrations because we
we understand that people were on the street
but they did not know why they were
on the street what they were doing there
they do not even know what it is that
federal deputy and was there charging
federal deputy then political began
as a portal for education
people’s politics and this was our
objective was the cause that we hugged
to improve those two criteria
initials that I introduced to you
those in there research light
economist and our daily goal is
education for the daily exercise of
citizenship and democracy, and these are the
our two pillars we will only go
improve this with education and
with the political education so that people
can act locally and thus
to improve democracy in Brazil as a
everything and our goal is also cuba
but stay news because all of our
content has no ideological bias
or partisan
who access our portal side
politize will understand and will find
everything from political education without bias
ideological and party you have
idea of ​​the dimension of fake news in the world
today
in the last presidential elections in
united states as fake news had more
relevance than the news stories
by the 19 major
communication of the United States then
understand the dimension yet
were able to measure the impact of
of flec news in the last elections
presidential elections that we have now
Brazil and then some of our numbers.
impacts here today on the political
our portal we already have 15 million
single users 3.5 million escudos
views per month 145 million minutes of
learning and five hundred and fifty per
growth in two years
and talking about our offline impact
that our network ambassadors to which I
I’m an ambassador.
today we have achieved 84
municipalities we are 157 ambassadors and already
400 and 480 activities
performed with total impact of
approximately 20 thousand people
directly
So that’s our job, this is the
our contribution has been our
micro revolution for us power
to improve Brazilian democracy
and that’s when I brought some photos to
share with you
in those moments that I had as
ambassador I was the ambassador who
impacted people can impact
1,100 people over a four
a month or so and a job
volunteer but I believe because
When I finished speaking shortly.
about my story when I finished

opportunity to leave Brazil and stay
