governmental license plate Explanation: This is the type of license plate governmental vehicles carried some years ago, all white with black numbers. Today, they don't exist any more, but the concept of governmental support remained attached to the expression. I'd use the expression between quotation marks and add a note to explain it.

rubber stamp Explanation: After extensive research with Google, I have come to the conclusion that this is a derogatory term used for journalists that do not question, but simply give a rubber stamp to the official government rhetoric, and as a result, act like cheerleaders. Look at the following three examples, including the newspaper "Grandma" in Cuba, and also one that refers to "chapa branca" as "lulistas" for Brazil. 407 IN VITRO: July 2006- [ Translate this page ]Com essa definição simples e clara, a Acne produz filmes, animações, ....

government collusive / government conspiratorial Explanation: Dependendo dos contextos, pode ser desde official, regular, hypocrite, deceiver, e outros, mas considerando o seu contexto, considero government's conspiratorial ou government collusive. Veja explicação do termo abaixo: O termo chapa-branca, de modo geral, no entanto, passou a expressar a postura da entidade ou da pessoa que detém o poder, herdando o velho sentido pejorativo que lhe trouxe a venialidade mal perdoada. Ato ou ação oficial passou a ser chapa-branca, o que associa à expressão o sentido de representar coisas ligadas ao poder ou a ele vinculadas por ideologia, interesses ou algo inconfessável, sem que, necessariamente, coincidam com a vontade ou com as necessidades da Nação. Waldomiro é um pelintra chapa-branca. Mensalão é uma pilantragem chapa-branca. O PT é um partido chapa-branca. Fidel Castro e Hugo Chavez são aliados chapas-brancas. O MST é uma grande quadrilha chapa-branca. Por aí vai. http://www.debito.org/taniifukuzawan.html http://www.dailytidings.com/print_article.php?pagename=/2007... Example sentence(s):
