Keywords

💡Corruption

Corruption refers to dishonest or fraudulent conduct by those in power, typically involving bribery or embezzlement. In the video's context, corruption is linked to the sale of termeléctricas (thermal power plants) to the Batista brothers, suggesting that these sales were not transparent and involved some form of illicit gain. The script implies that corruption is a systemic issue, affecting various sectors, including media, which is controlled by banks that are also involved in fraudulent activities.

💡Batista Brothers

The Batista brothers are mentioned as individuals who benefited from a corrupt deal involving the purchase of termeléctricas. The term is used to illustrate how certain individuals or groups can exploit their connections and influence to engage in corrupt practices, which in this case, involved buying unwanted assets at a loss to the public and then shifting the burden onto the Brazilian people through increased electricity costs.

💡Termeléctricas

Termeléctricas are thermal power plants that generate electricity through the use of heat. In the script, these power plants are described as 'bichadas' (a colloquial term suggesting they were undesirable) that no one wanted to buy, but were sold to the Batista brothers at a loss, which was then passed onto the Brazilian public through increased electricity bills.

💡Eletrobras

Eletrobras is a Brazilian electric utility company. The script mentions that Eletrobras was handed over by Bolsonaro to a group representing less than 2% of the voting capital, suggesting a lack of transparency and potential corruption in the management of this public asset. The term is used to highlight concerns about the privatization and management of state-owned enterprises, which can lead to public losses and private gains.

💡Media Conglomerates

Media conglomerates are large corporations that own multiple media outlets. The script claims that these conglomerates in Brazil are mostly controlled by banks, which are also involved in fraudulent activities. This control is suggested to lead to a lack of media coverage or scrutiny of corruption, as the banks have a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. The term is used to critique the role of media in society, particularly its failure to hold power accountable.

💡Privatization

Privatization refers to the process of transferring state-owned assets or services to private ownership. In the script, the term is used in a negative context, suggesting that certain privatizations, such as those of Sabesp and Amazonas Energia, were done in a shameful manner, implying corruption and lack of transparency. The term is used to critique the way in which public assets are being managed and sold off, often to the detriment of the public interest.

💡Sérgio Moro

Sérgio Moro is a Brazilian judge who has been a controversial figure due to his actions and decisions. The script mentions him in the context of defending him against accusations of committing greater arbitrariness with a subordinate motive. The term is used to discuss the complexities of judging individuals in positions of power and the need for them to act within the confines of the law.

💡Alexandre de Moraes

Alexandre de Moraes is a Brazilian judge mentioned in the script as someone who does not need applause but rather scrutiny. The term is used to discuss the role of judges and the importance of holding them accountable to the law, suggesting that they should not be treated as heroes or 'Sheriffs of the Nation,' but rather as public servants bound by the rule of law.

💡Amazônias Energia

Amazônias Energia is a power distribution company in Brazil. The script discusses the sale of this company, suggesting that it was part of a larger pattern of corrupt privatization deals. The term is used to illustrate how the sale of public assets can be manipulated to benefit a few at the expense of the many, leading to increased costs and reduced services for the public.

💡Media Silence

Media silence refers to the lack of coverage or discussion of certain topics by media outlets. In the script, this term is used to describe the absence of media scrutiny on corrupt practices, particularly in the context of privatization and the actions of powerful individuals. The term is used to highlight the importance of a free and independent media in holding power to account and exposing corruption.

💡Public Interest

Public interest refers to the well-being or welfare of the public. The script discusses various instances where actions taken by individuals or corporations have been to the detriment of the public interest, such as the sale of termeléctricas and the privatization of public utilities.
