Oil royalties are now going to be redistributed across Brazil. Instead of each state collecting and maintaing royalties resulting from the drilling of oil, the monies will be spread out among the states. I really don't think that this is fair.
From what I have experienced being in Brazil most of the country is very socialist. Now Rio state will lose millions of needed dollars to support other states of the country :( I really hope this doesn't effect the plans for the World Cup 2014 and Olympics 2016.
People in Rio are protesting the decision and hopefully they are heard! Check out the article from Rio Times Online.
Tchau,
Sara
