I am very disappointed with this decision and announcement.
Surely anyone who has read this notice must be thinking that Brazil is at war,
in wreckage. But that is not true.
Brazil has never produced so much positive impact in our movement as it has

received lots of emails from me and others, I don’t think I have a single
