Ce dernier a déclaré valide l’élection du 2 juillet et rejeté la demande d’annulation de l’élection pour (...)

26 de outubro de 2006, postado por Marilza de Melo Foucher

Aliás, já estou começando a ficar saturada, apesar de gostar muito de política e ter sempre um grande interesse por reflexões políticas. Muitas matérias são bem-vindas e alimentam meu intelecto guloso de aprendizagem. Outras são horrorosas, mas como boa democrata, termino fazendo um esforço para lê-las. Hoje, na era avançada da cibernética, faço um esforço (...)
