Hungry for what?

What these people have is hunger, a hunger for power. And to those who like to use the term "caviar left," I tell you the truth: Caviar is nonsense.

If a guy is left-wing and drinks wine and eats grapes, he's a "caviar leftist."

If the other side doesn't own farms, airports, companies, or employees, then they belong to the "Bread and Egg" Right.

Then there's the fervent and empty-headed militant; the idiot militant.

We had some bland debates and some interviews that were a piece of cake for some, or full of banana peels for others. Poets with their fingers pointed like never before.

We all saw it too, there was a guy trying to make lemonade out of lemons, another talked about marijuana like he was talking about chimarrão (a traditional South American infused drink), there was one with a face like a corn tamale and eyes like breadfruit.

Luciana looked like an angel with that noodle-like hair; poor Fudélix talked so much nonsense that it sounded like alphabet soup after digestion.

Eduardo Jorge, like the late Lion of the Mountain, chose to exit to the right. A place he'd been when he was hungry, as Luciana Genro reminded us. Pay close attention!

Now, this is a sure thing: they bet so much on Marina and Marina Necas.

And as they are already beginning to show, in the second round they will combine hunger with the desire to eat. Aécio is licking his lips. Until recently, like a rotten fruit, he wavered in the polls - and in interviews when the wind was too strong.

His reaching the second round was enough for the media to hide his resounding defeat in Minas Gerais; it seems that those who truly know Aécio prefer to vote for Dilma.

But why on earth did Aécio do so poorly in Minas Gerais if he claims to have had an excellent government? Perhaps the people of Minas Gerais, between bites of pão de queijo (cheese bread), only truly saw him on the political program and witnessed the brazenness with which he lied about the effects on their state.

Before Marina's downfall, the media, the DEM party, and even FHC himself threatened to abandon Aécio (who doesn't remember?), now they treat him like a superman. They made Marina into a superwoman, and look what happened.

Aécio will now have to say what project he defends for Brazil, what his party did when it was in power at the central level, and show what kind of great leader he was, the one for whom he asked his supporters to applaud during a debate on Globo.

Full of energy and enthusiasm, FHC emerged from his hiding place and sent a new platform to the bottom of the sea by saying that people from the Northeast vote with their stomachs, and deep down I tell him to go eat himself.

When Marina was constantly contradicting herself, everyone agreed with her supposed clinging to power, as if Lula had been handed the presidential sash by FHC; if Aécio agrees that a party shouldn't stay in power for so long, why didn't he oppose Alckmin's reelection? Why?

How many more years does the PSDB want to remain in power in São Paulo?

I remember, people applauded when Marina said that it was an attack against democracy for the main dispute to be in the hands of two parties. I never heard anyone say that about the conflict in the United States, which, by the way, is the model of democracy for those people.

They say FHC bought his reelection for 200 coins per capita; Aécio is now railing against the end of reelection, thereby buying Marina's support.

Let's be clear, the PSDB bought its reelection and now it's going to sell it. Pay close attention!

What do these people have?
It's hunger,
Hunger for power.

And for those who like to use the term "caviar left," I tell you the truth: Caviar is nonsense.

The word of salvation.
