A Brazil region seeks independence

The referendum, a week after that Catalonia, has organized the movement under the name “South is my homeland”, broadcast Koha.net.

This movement has declared that the vote has been organised in more than 1,000 municipalities in the states of Rio Grande do Sul, Santa Catarina and Paraná.

The head of this movement, Celso Deucher, says he hopes to garner three million votes.

In the town of Londrini in Parana, voters have said they are disappointed with the federal government and the scandals of major corruption, which behind the bars have been placed by dozens of politicians and members of the business elite, al jazeera reports.

Others complain that southern Brazil does not enjoy much tax revenues, which mainly take northern regions of state whose voters, as they say, have more rights than in the south.

The southern part of Brazil has demonstrated separatist tendencies since Italian revolutionary Giuseppe Garibaldi helped the region achieve half independence in 1836.

The “-South movement is my homeland” even years in October has organised the secession vote, and then more than 95% of voters in all three states were declared to separate from Brazil.

A small number of Brazilians believe in the success of this separatist movement because its work is prohibited with the Constitution under which the state is inseparable.

Whatever the case, the secession vote is also an indication of the grief of Brazilian voters towards the federal government, which has not responded to increasing violence throughout the country and has been unable to prevent the worst recession over the past 100 years.
