      "The opposition has no moral authority to criticize Dilma."

      Deputy leader of the government in the Chamber of Deputies, Sílvio Costa (PSC-PE), says that parliamentarians from the DEM and PSDB parties lack the "political moral authority" to continually attack President Dilma; for him, the fact that the Justice system accepted the complaint from the Public Prosecutor's Office of São Paulo regarding the train cartel in São Paulo is one of the reasons; "The corruption scandal involving the urban trains in São Paulo only confirms what I have been saying. The PSDB and DEM parties lack the political moral authority to attack President Dilma daily," he said.

      Pernambuco 247 - The deputy leader of the government in the Federal Chamber, Sílvio Costa (PSC-PE), strongly criticized the opposition to President Dilma Rousseff's government. According to the congressman, the deputies from the DEM and PSDB parties lack the "political moral authority" to continually attack the president.
      According to Sílvio Costa, the fact that the courts accepted the complaint filed by the São Paulo Public Prosecutor's Office regarding the investigations into the cartel at the Companhia Paulista de Trens Metropolitanos (CPTM) in São Paulo puts the opposition in a situation similar to that which has been used in attacks against Dilma. 

      The Public Prosecutor's Office is investigating 11 companies allegedly involved in forming a cartel to obtain contracts with the company. The suspicious contracts were allegedly signed between 2000 and 200, when the state was governed by Mário Covas, Geraldo Alckmin, and José Serra (all from the PSDB party), as well as Claudio Lembo, who at the time was a member of the PFL party.

      "The corruption scandal involving São Paulo's urban trains only confirms what I've been saying. The PSDB and DEM parties have no political moral authority to attack President Dilma daily," Costa declared. "The theft occurred during the administrations of these three [Covas, Alckmin, and Serra]. So, the floor is yours, great icons of Brazilian morality," said the deputy leader of the government.
