Temer's group is there for the suitcase of money, says Duvivier.
Columnist Gregório Duvivier compares the Temer government to the most recent edition of the reality show "A Fazenda," which brings together candidates who didn't succeed in other reality shows; "The Temer government is a kind of 'A Fazenda' of governments. All the members are only there because they weren't accepted anywhere else in the world. This makes both very fun to watch, after all, nobody there has anything to lose. (...) In both 'A Fazenda' and 'Planalto,' it seems that everyone is only there for the suitcase of money," he writes.

"The latest season of 'A Fazenda' on Record TV has a new twist. All the contestants have already participated in some kind of reality show."
The Temer government is a kind of "The Farm" of governments. All the members are only there because they weren't accepted anywhere else in the world. This makes both very fun to watch, after all, nobody there has anything to lose. Just kidding. In the case of the "The Farm" participant, there's still the possibility of him joining the Temer government.

Luislinda Valois took over the Human Rights portfolio in this government whose main legacy was the repeal of the Golden Law (Lei Áurea). If you work 20 hours a day in a sugarcane field getting whipped, you can no longer call it "slavery," but "unpaid internship." Luislinda preferred not to comment on this unpleasant subject until last week, when she gave an angry speech because they don't allow her to combine her salary of R$ 31 with her retirement pension of R$ 30. After all, earning only R$ 31, for her, "is similar to slave labor," showing that the concept of slave labor, in this government, is indeed very flexible.
"Both at the Finance Ministry and the Presidential Palace, it seems like everyone is only there for the suitcase of money."
