Coup plotting is driven by the 'far right,' says Tarso.

Rio Grande do Sul 247 - Former governor of Rio Grande do Sul, Tarso Genro, said this Saturday, the 14th, that the demonstrations in favor of an impeachment process against President Dilma Rousseff are part of the democratic process, but that, in this case, it lacks foundation.

"For now, there is no basis linking the Presidency to any issue related to the impeachment. So, in reality, this is a political opposition movement led by the far right, which has no name, whose promoter or funder is unknown, aimed at causing political damage to the government," he said.

Genro is participating in a seminar in Porto Alegre organized by the PT (Workers' Party) of Rio Grande do Sul, which discusses the challenges and perspectives for the party and the government of Dilma Rousseff. The event is attended by the national president of the PT, Rui Falcão. 

The former governor argues that the transformations currently taking place in the PT (Workers' Party) need to be more pronounced. "We've already achieved a better level of stability in the party, but it's far from being remodeled and learning the lessons of the times, which all parties must learn or risk becoming more conservative instead of parties of change," he stated.

Tarso also assessed that the fight against corruption must continue, but that this is not Brazil's main challenge today. "The country's biggest problem is reducing social inequalities," he said. "The development model we adopted, which included 50 million people in the market, has already played a very strong role. Now, for the economy to move forward and development to take on a new rhythm, we need programs to reduce social inequalities."
