CNPq scholarship cuts may paralyze most scientific research carried out in Brazil #fantastico

A report on the Fantastic television program, one of the most popular in Brazil, showed the drama of Brazilian researchers who lost their scholarships paid by CNPq.

CNPq scholarships allow the best students, children of poor families, who participate, for example, in the mathematics Olympics, to receive a monthly budget.

The theme generated the hashtag #fantastico on Twitter in Brazil. Thousands of Brazilians complain about the government's stance in cutting these exchanges. They also criticize the fact that Bolsonaro and his sons spend public money on unimportant things, such as painting the presidential plane.

In total, there are 84,000 scholarships that can be unpaid at the end of the year.

According to Datafolha, President Jair Bolsonaro's disapproval rose from 33% to 38%. Certainly, the high unemployment coupled with measures such as CNPq cut-offs, the government's evident inability to command national policy, the environmental policy that seeks, among other things, to liberate mining on indigenous lands, and the absurd statements of the President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro, greatly worsen the assessment of the current government. According to the survey, 44% of Brazilians do not trust the president's word.
