Brazilian President Urges to Wipe Out Inequalities
31 de julio de 2013, 18:19Sao Paulo, July 31 (Prensa Latina) President Dilma Rousseff urged today to wipe out inequalities while she announced an investment worth four million USD to improve transportation, housing, water and sewage services in this city.
The improvement of these sectors will have a positive impact on the living conditions of the population in Sao Paulo, said Rousseff as she highlighted the importance of allocating resources to the development of social sectors.
She said the investment in urban transportation guarantees an increase in the movement of most of the people, who live on the outskirts of this city of 11 million inhabitants, with 55 percent using public transportation.
Therefore, this sector has to be developed, as it is of great social and economic significance, she noted.
Of the four million USD, $1,500 million USD will be allocated to improve urban mobility, another $700 million to sewage works and $1,100 million to recover springs and other water supply sources, she said.
Another $750 million USD will be allocated to the construction of 15,000 houses for low-income Brazilians, she said.
Rousseffâ�Ös announcement of this investment in social sectors comes a day after this city, the countryâ�Ös economic and financial capital, faced a new day of protests that ended up in vandalistic acts.
Sao Paulo was also the scene of peopleâ�Ös protests in June, demanding lower transport tariffs and better health care services and education.

Cuba confronté à une grave crise économique
Cuba avait déjà connu une période similaire dans les années 90 pendant la “période spéciale” lorsque le PIB avait subitement chuté de plus de 30% suite à l’effondrement de l’Union soviétique.
À La Havane, à Cuba, la crise économique est présente partout. Les habitants se pressent devant les commerces, ce qui provoque d’innombrables files d’attente. La mission quotidienne de chaque Cubain est de trouver de quoi se nourrir.

Manifestations à Cuba : "Les gens manquent de tout, la situation économique et sociale est absolument horrible",
Des milliers de Cubains ont manifesté dans la rue dimanche pour protester contre le gouvernement et sa gestion de la crise économique.
Elle a été approuvée par plus de 86% des voix. Les Cubains ont adopté une nouvelle Constitution par référendum pour y inscrire l’ouverture du pays à l’économie de marché. Cuba est un des derniers pays communistes du monde, mais il reconnaît désormais le marché, la propriété privée et la nécessité des investissements étrangers dans sa Constitution, qui rappelle aussi le caractère irrévocable du socialisme.
L’Église défavorable
Un vote en apparence démocratique dans un pays qui ne l’est pas totalement. La nouvelle Constitution réaffirme le rôle unique du Parti communiste. Son premier secrétaire Raul Castro s’est rendu aux urnes, comme l’actuel chef de l’État Miguel Diaz Canel qui voit dans son vote une réaffirmation de la puissance cubaine face aux Américains et aux Européens. Le nouveau texte de la Constitution était contesté par certains Cubains sur les réseaux sociaux et par l’Église catholique.
