A vote of confidence in political illiteracy

Francisco Mendes da Silva wrote an opinion column titled "A vote of confidence in political illiteracy." In the article, the author states that the politicians who exist today are a consequence of an environment dominated by the rules of functional illiteracy. Mendes da Silva acknowledges the brutality of the language used, but argues that his description corresponds to reality. The article presents itself as a critique of the political class and the conditions that allow its existence.
