Politicians who enjoy a fat parliamentary recess in July found the ideal moment to campaign with the accident of TAM flight 3054. After all, it is necessary to think about the future! Elections are here, and no one will remember So-and-so who fought for airport reforms, [we don't even remember those who fight for political reforms]. In the end, good Brazilians like to receive condolences from famous authorities, and never from competent ones, and in these "difficult times" all illusion is welcome.
Some friends mention one or another politician who, like a phoenix, rose from the ashes of their vacation and set up their platforms in front of cameras and shaken people, filling their chests with easy speeches about how it could have all been avoided. But if we ask for measures to prevent future tragedies, they get flustered... "well... it's not that simple," they say. But after all, if it's so easy to avoid?! I doubt anyone remembers the interview of the President of Infraero talking about the major reforms carried out at Congonhas Airport. But that's how it is. Our friends go, our enemies stay!
