Duas coisas chamam a atencao esta manhã no noticiario de televisao internacional por aqui - basicamente CNN, BBC e alguns canais pela internet, algo que se espalha rapidamente.

Primeiro, a noticia do dia sobre a America Latina e’ sobre Hugo Chavez, que está se tornando personagem de piada no mundo todo. Diria que ja se tornou, mas era isso que ele queria.

A imprensa comeca a escafunchar a vida dele em casa, hoje mostraram um centro bolivariano de assistencia social para fazer revolucao - Chavez nao deu conta de fazer mais do que um ou dois em Caracas ate agora, mas sonha em exportar isso pro resto da America Latina.

Quando viaja, vai se encontrar com outro enfant terrible da diplomacia mundial, o ex-guarda revolucionario que manteve diplomatas americanos presos por mais de ano na derrubada do regime monarquico do imperador Reza…

La os dois, Chavez e o atual presidente do Ira, se deliciam em falar que o dolar está desmoronando e com isso vai o imperio americano.

Grande piada, muito boa mesmo…

O povo pobre da periferia de Caracas está rindo até agora.

Acho bom o PT prestar atencao nestes discursos para aprender, se quer governar com Nelson Jobim e a ministra Dilma Roussef a partir de 2010 - Chavez e’ bom companheiro mas so para contar piada!

Revolucao de verdade e’ coisa de gente grande, que tem economia de porte muindial, tem a chave da questao energetica na mao, como o Brasil tem.

O resto, bom o resto George Walker que o diga… ele anda esfregando a mão com sangue iraquiano para dar uma papirote em Chavez pra mode seus marketeiros aproveitar na campanha eleitoral americana, a todo vapor por sinal…

Chavez nao perde por esperar…

Quando terminar a novela da paz de Anapolis no Oriente Medio, vamos ver o que acontece…

Acho que as universidades e centros de pesquisa que estao enviando gente para ver se o programa Bolsa-Escola do presidente Lula esta’ servindo para diminuir a pobreza, como e’o caso agora na Bahia, deem um jeito tambem de ir vasculhar a vida de Huguinho nos barrios pobres de Caracas…

Vao encontrar muita semelhanca com os grotoes do PT no Brasil.

Outra coisa e’ o potencial que elementos diferentes como Chavez tem para criar problemas regionais que pode custar caro para o Brasil… veja-se que ele nao resolveu nada com o pessoal das FARC para libertar nossa companheira verde Ingrid Betancourt mas criou uma guerra de palavras e troca de farpas diplomaticas com o governo da Colombia, bancado pelos americanos na região.

Vamos prestar atencao, companheirada… acho melhor ir estudar melhor o que está acontecendo dod outro lado da fronteira norte antes que seja tarde.

Research centers, governament agencies and universities in the Netherlands are trying to get lessons for domestic purposes out from Brazilian income-transfering programas to tens of thousands of families under the poverty line.

Scholarships and funds have been directed to evaluate President Lula’ s most known social assistance program - Bolsa Familia, or Family Wellfare linked to keeping children in school.

Field researchers have been two or three times in Brazil’s Northeast in the last� two years, as newspeople were told in Amsterdam last yesterday ,during a private meeting on the issue of public policities do deal with poverty.

“Abroad as well as at home, where the Dutch, still less than others, face huge social challenges with immigration”, added a young lady, just about to do her own check-in to Brazil’s poorest areas.

She� expects� to find out whether Bolsa Familia is just another client-oriented massive action by Workers Party (PT) in South America, in the same line of� Venezuela’s President Hugo Chavez movements -� or whether in Brazil it� did work in the last years to get youngsters� in schools and families out of poverty cicle.

In the state of Bahia, for instance, pos-graduating students are presently collecting field data on how the Bolsa Familia program works or not.

They are trying to get a close look at fine tunning issues raised by critics of these income transfering policies in Latin America, such as the eventual political manipulation of the monthly payments around USD 40 to average family.

Brazilian Government has� been under silent pressure from Europeans - from governments as well as NGOs - to set� transparent goals on the effort to stop destruction of the Amazon jungle.

By next month there may be a final-cut meeting at UN level where Brazilian officials are expected to announce� that� the Executive� � is ready to send Congress legislative proposals with legal marks to deal with the fast burning and deforestation of the Amazon forest.

Diplomatics sources� in Brussels told newspeople off the record that it is not a plan of multilaterals conversations to drive Brazil into the EC� effort to reduce by 30% until 2020 its emissions of CO2 and other greenhouse poluting gases,� but it would help if Brazilians could show up next month with something in this line.

Non-governmental organizations such as Greenpeace are on the road to� demonstrate they can create a lot a troube to Brazil from now on on the real economy in case there’s no agreement on the Amazon issue before the end this year.

Some Brazilian� business leaders are already preocupied with the lack of action from President Lula’s administration to� understand the public opinion against such an environment crime as the burning of thousands of acres in a very fast speed .

Most� of Amazonia could be gone as forest in about 30 years, as it is expected by different observers including World Wildelife Fund\ (WWF).

Charitas International, major NGO� financing social projects in Brazil for many years, has not yet informed Brasilia but is already working with the environment agenda.

An� example of� Charitas preocupation with the impact of climate change over poor societies is its program -� present in Northeast Brazilian states and other countries in Latin America -� to� teach locals residents to build rainwater colectors and wells� to meet the challenge of� water shortage in low-income communities.�

Officials from UN in Europe believes Lula� will be looking at this issue� carefully in the next� two weeks or so, to have an answer prepared for the Europeans in the next enviornment talks.

Up to now Brasilia has only created a taskforce devoted to global warming and the Executive is expected to listen to� politicians � before sending Congress a legal proposal of CO2 emission reduction for next years.
