EFHF,
That is because, unfortunately, the political authorities are into spin and damage control for themselves rather than factual information. Wendel's post (±#351) provides a link (

Apologies to mods for this being completely off-thread; the only relevance is to political authorities being in denial of the warning signs of infrastructure falling way behind demand. The measures announced last night - new Sao Paulo airport location to be identified in 90 days, CGH movements to be reduced from 48 to 33/hr, all chaff and, from my own dubious vantage point of maritime infrastructure, I see little indication of real improvement over the next few years.
It's not that there are not excellent people available to put things right. But, to recoin a phrase, "It's politics, stupid!".
Again, apologies.
