For the PT (Workers' Party), the opposition has a 'shallow and weak discourse'.

Pernambuco 247 - The PT leader in the Senate, Humberto Costa (PE), raised his voice and said that the opposition has not yet come to terms with the results of the last elections and continues to promote a "shallow coup-mongering discourse with weak arguments" in an attempt to gain support to move forward with an impeachment request against President Dilma Rousseff.

According to the Workers' Party member, the opposition has based its discourse on analyses of "cyclical approval and popularity ratings of governments." "The debate is shallow because it's based on weak arguments – some even commissioned and paid for handsomely – tailor-made to harm a legitimately elected government that has just begun," Humberto said in the Senate Plenary.

Humberto also accused the opposition parties of irresponsibly using a corruption scandal and a negative public opinion poll to fuel the "out with Dilma" sentiment. "If they continue down this path, I ask that they also remember to use the 'tucano train scandal' and the latest Datafolha poll against the newly inaugurated governor of São Paulo. I guarantee he'll fall the same day," he declared.

The Workers' Party senator also said that "many of these agents claim to be invested with the role of spokespeople for society, but here they are only shouting the hysterical rhetoric of their coup-plotting colleagues, people who still call the dictatorship a revolution," he stated.
