Sorry Reinaldo, but government "maladies" are not endemic to particular countries or regions but pervasive throughoout the world. The bottom line: BUREAUCRATIC STRUCTURES!

That's quite precisely the core of the problem, most people "stare" with an impotence feeling. HEY! cada pueblo tiene el gobierno que se merece, so goes a wise saying.
