The large number of scandals, accusations and arrests involving names of the Federal District leads to questions about the quality of regional policy
Forfeited senators, resignations and the recent arrests of two former governors and a former vice governor of the DF put the capital in the spotlight when it comes to the quality of politicians. What led Brasilia to be involved in so many scandals and denunciations is the question that always remains.

Vismona believes that the ethical issue is at the heart of most of the problems that plague Brazilian politics. “We have to choose people who are in tune with ethical values.
