Brazil´s big challenge ahead of Rio 2016

Aug 26th, 2012
Many Brazilians watched the closing ceremony of the London Olympics with trepidation. “Do you think we will be able to manage anything more than a couple of carnival fl oats, some football and traffi c jams?” mused one of my friends.
It is a few years since I have heard such expressions of national self-doubt. When I fi rst arrived in Brazil, almost 10 years ago, the country had just elected its fi rst leftwing president, Luiz Inácio “Lula” da Silva. Both the currency and stock exchange were in freefall as investors took fright.
Lula's fi rst term in offi ce combined cautious economic orthodoxy and some critical social reforms. The minimum wage was raised signifi cantly and an innovative cash transfer called Bolsa Família introduced for poor families. A start was also made in reforming the Brazilian justice system. At the same time the government kept an eye on public spending, ran a primary budget surplus and began to reduce the national debt.
These days the scenario has been changing.
Economic growth stalled last year, choked by a hugely
overvalued currency. This year looks even worse, as export
demand has been hit by the global recession. While the
government's success in reducing its still astronomically
high inequality was a spur to domestic demand, economic
growth was underpinned by the export of primary
commodities such as soya, coffee and iron ore.

Facing headwinds, Dilma changes course

The government announces plans to privatise infrastructure, and disappoints striking bureaucrats. In recent years Brazil's government has been able to avoid tough spending choices. Faster economic growth and falling tax evasion have translated into steadily rising revenues, allowing the federal government to hire more workers and pay them more, as well as to boost pensions and social transfers. But the fat times are over. In 2011 economic growth was only 2.7%; this year 2% looks optimistic. Tax revenues are rising only a little faster than infl ation. The government can no longer satisfy everyone.
The noisiest demands come from public-sector
workers. Teachers at federal universities have been on strike
for three months; they have recently been joined by federal
police, tax offi cials and staff at some regulatory agencies.
The strikers'demands would swell the government's salary
bill by up to 50%; infl ation is running at 5.2%.

Assinale a opção que corresponde a erro gramatical na transcrição do texto.
Desde que(1) foi criado, em 2004, o Conselho Nacional de Justiça (CNJ) teve inegável efeito moralizador. Foi pelo combate às(2) práticas escusas e os(3) desvios éticos que o órgão se(4) tornou conhecido, mais que pela tentativa de racionalizar procedimentos administrativos e aumentar a eficiência da Justiça.
A Corregedoria do Conselho assumiu papel central, sobretudo a partir(5) de 2008, quando iniciou a rotina de inspecionar tribunais com indícios de problemas.

Assinale a opção que corresponde a erro gramatical inserido na transcrição do texto.
A existência de um grande número de candidaturas pendentes de julgamento às(1) vésperas da eleição gera(2) insegurança nos dois lados em que o voto está em questão. Da parte dos candidatos, obedecidos(3) o princípio da presunção de inocência até que a Justiça se pronuncie, criam-se(4) dificuldades de campanha; no que diz respeito aos eleitores, fica o receio de desperdiçar o voto sufragando(5) alguém que, vitorioso nas urnas, venha a ter sua eleição indeferida após o pleito.

Os trechos a seguir constituem um texto, adaptado de Zero Hora, de 9/9/2012, mas estão desordenados. Ordene-os, colocando 1 no que deve ser o primeiro e numerando sequencialmente os parênteses. Assinale a opção que apresenta a ordem correta.
( ) Já o Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), ao julgar o mensalão, firma entendimento sobre o crime de gestão fraudulenta de instituição financeira, ampliando as possibilidades de condenação para réus historicamente favorecidos pela impunidade.
( ) A lei colocou uma série de atividades ao alcance do radar do Conselho de Controle de Atividades Financeiras (Coaf) e permitiu que qualquer tipo de crime possa ser passível de punição por lavagem de dinheiro.
( ) Marcos na história brasileira do combate ao crime, a Lei de Lavagem de Dinheiro e o julgamento do mensalão abrem perspectivas inéditas de rigor contra os malfeitos cometidos contra o sistema financeiro, popularmente chamados de crimes de colarinho-branco.
( ) Inegavelmente, tanto a lei contra a lavagem de dinheiro quanto esse processo do mensalão constituem marcos na persecução penal.
( ) O que se espera, agora, desses dois poderes – Legislativo e Judiciário – é a continuidade de ações harmônicas em defesa dos interesses da nação como as que já resultaram, da parte do primeiro, na aprovação da Lei de Lavagem de Dinheiro no início deste ano, e do segundo, no rigor demonstrado no julgamento do mensalão.
( ) Esse último revela uma mudança de atitude
longamente aguardada no país, onde a histórica
leniência em relação a criminosos de elevado poder
aquisitivo transformou o sistema penal num dispositivo
de uso exclusivo contra quem não pode pagar bons
advogados para se defender.
Assinale a opção que corresponde a erro gramatical ou de grafia de palavra na transcrição do texto.
O sofrível desempenho da indústria nos últimos quatro anos – a produção está no nível de meados de 2008 – sucita(1) um debate polarizado sobre o risco de desindustrialização do país. No caso brasileiro, as correntes mais liberais que(2) asseveram a ausência de desindustrialização mencionam, por exemplo, a relativa estabilidade da participação da indústria no PIB nos últimos dez anos e o crescimento do emprego no setor na última década. Aqueles(3) que acreditam numa desindustrialização em curso apontam o aumento do déficit comercial em setores de média e alta tecnologia, que atingiu US$ 92,5 bilhões em 2011.
A estagnação das exportações brasileiras como parcela do comércio mundial, em torno de 1% há décadas, seria forte indicação de que(4) o país não consegue competir adequadamente no mercado global. Coreia e China, em comparação, lograram(5) multiplicar sua participação no comércio mundial – e com incorporação de tecnologia superior à brasileira.
