HOW WILL BRAZIL EMERGE FROM ITS POLITICAL DRAMA?

摘要

With a three-word tweet, the social media account of House of Cards, the Netflix US political drama, provided on-point commentary on Brazil's real-life political drama. "Ta dificil competir" (it's hard to compete) read the message in Portuguese on May 17. It was the day news broke that Brazil's president, Michel Temer, had been caught on tape allegedly condoning bribes, in the latest twist in the corruption scandal that has engulfed the country for the past three years. Charges were subsequently filed to the supreme court, but it was left to Congress to decide whether to go ahead with a trial. Mr Temer denies any wrongdoing.
