The Latin American giant Brazil may get their first African-American president as Mariana Silva has jumped in the pols and many are predicting she will be to be next president of Brazil. Her
election would break up the old power structure in Brazil that has long excluded the black majority from holding power and taking part in the economy.The election victory of her party and candidacy would be the culmination of a year of mass protests from everything to corruption to poor infrastructure in the large country whose economy has faltered for some time. The rise of Marina and other left-wing candidates in Latin America is a direst result of backlash against the policies of neo-liberal economic policies that have spread poverty and inequality everywhere in the world. This woman bravely left the workers party as it achieved power and has been running the country for the past twelve years. Incumbent president Dilma Rousseff has been dropping in the polls has citizens get fed up with massive stagnation and rising inflation making life much more difficult in recent years. This is a woman that started out as a Marxist but later became an evangelical unfortunately and how her politics will have her flip flopping on issues is not known yet.
