São Paulo: abandoned to its own fate

São Paulo remains without a mayor.

While João Doria is in Italy, savoring carpaccio, pasta, and Italian culinary delights, and his deputy, Bruno Covas, is strolling through France tasting brioches, macarons, and wines, São Paulo, the country's largest city, is experiencing chaos.

Construction projects stalled, overgrown vegetation in neighborhoods, lack of available spaces in schools and daycare centers, potholes in the streets, malfunctioning traffic lights, increased violence, unemployment, and street pollution.

And just when the population thinks that Doria will finally get some shame, stop traveling, and come back to govern the city, he calls the press to announce his "human ration" for the poor.

Doria is a real traveling salesman, toying with the patience of the population and spouting his hatred to cover up his failure as mayor.

But Dória is not his own creation. He is a creation of the PSDB and Alckmin, who, not content with the test, pretends to be the good guy in politics and doesn't want to take responsibility for the monster he himself created.
