Millions of voices cry out in unison on the streets of Brazil.
For about two weeks these people have been protesting against the prices of public transportation, corruption, the conditions of public healthcare and education, laws to be passed, and ... this is where the efforts stall. There are too many issues being discussed at once, there is no obvious focus or specific demand.
Only days ago our president allowed government officials to use public money to travel and use hotels to comfortably watch the soccer games of the Confederations Cup. Then, on national TV, she promises to solve the healthcare problem by importing doctors. This is as helpful as hiring cooks to work in an empty building without a sink, stove, oven, utensils or food to cook.
Do Brazilians need to demand changes? Absolutely yes. Nevertheless, for something to actually happen, people need to know why they are on the streets and what exactly needs to change first, because only specific issues can be solved one at a time.
