Well, hell. I am talking about yesterday, because yesterday evening my cold prevented me from writing it all down. I'm still floored by the news and a bit scared. Good thing I don't have to go out today.
But let's start to actually say it so you all would understand.
We have a president. He is the first president chosen in full democracy to keep his post for the second 4-year term. The elections were a few months before, and it was pretty close. We have two big parties, two on the opposing sides. One is a rightist party with a president candidate who I can describe as a megalomaniac who loves the sound of his voice (he had to be sent to a psychiatrist when he wasn't elected a second time). The other is the Socialist party, that people don't really like, but is usually better than a megalomaniac idiot who steals money shamelessly. Well, they both do. And these two parties fight constalntly - as it is their nature.
Now, when the Socialist were chosen as the leading party around 4,5 years ago, they had another president, who had to resign, and instead of him came a millionaire guy, who had enough money not to steal any more. He had a charming personality and he certainly was a strong and charismatic person. He still is, but... he fucked up.
What went wrong is that our charismatic president made a few reforms that did not sit well with people. He planned reform that meant that we will have to pay for everything. More taxes, paying for each time we visit the doctor, paying for staying in a hospital and eating their food, even when we pay for our health insurance.
Students plan a huge protesting march because he named the school fees as a ridiculously high sum of money. Out of the blue.
You can imagine why he is Mr Popularity now.
Then comes a secret recorded speech of his (talking to his party), that they lied for four years, didn't do a thing, robbed the country. Now THIS caused a huge uproar.
People wanted him to resign, but he didn't. So, here comes the revolution, which I'll write in my next entry.
