Description
A crowd of protestors with signs walking down the main central avenue toward the Congress building in Brasilia. During the last decade social conditions in Brazil have worsened. The future of the nation will depend on whether sufficient job opportunities can be created for its citizens and whether the economy will continue to grow. With the return of civilian government in 1985, Brazilians have the opportunity to publicly express their political and social concerns. It is hoped that governments will be elected which will seriously address the enormous socioeconomic inequalities that affect the majority of Brazilians.Uma multidão protestando com sinais e caminhando pela avenida principal em direção ao prédio do Congresso em Brasília. Durante a última década as condições sociais no Brasil têm piorado. O futuro da nação depende de que oportunidades suficientes de trabalho possam ser criadas para os seus cidadãos e de que a economia continue a crescer. Com o retomo do governo civil em 1985 os brasileiros têm a oportunidade de expressar publicamente as suas preocupações de ordem social. Espera-se que os governos eleitos enfrentem seriamente as enormes disparidades socioeconómicas que afetam a maioria dos brasileiros.
