BRAZIL 2015 - A BAD START - FISHERMAN HIJACK ITAJAI PORT IN SOUTH BRAZIL

This is definitively not a very good kick off for Dilma´s new government phase. Basically, due to a - in my opinion - disastrous new fishing law, the fisherman community in Itajai is not allowed to work no more.
Thanks to a "super protective when matters to only a few big shots" and in most of the cases useless environmental politics (see the always growing devastation in the amazon territory, where nothing efficient is really done to prevent the illegal tree cutting works) these fisherman are not allowed to capture about 90 species of fish.
Itajai port is blocked since yesterday. Nobody gets in or out. Millions of money are at stake. Guess who are going to pay the bill...
