Pernambuco 247 - Federal deputy Silvio Costa (PTdoB-PE) reiterated his defense of the innocence of President-elect Dilma Rousseff and highlighted that she will give further proof of her character by defending herself against accusations of crimes of responsibility by personally attending the Senate session that will vote on her definitive removal through impeachment, scheduled for the 29th.
"The most shameful thing is that some of these senators who will carry out the coup were with the president during her government, they were ministers and are witnesses that she would never accept a non-republican conversation. They are traitors. They will go down in history as a Rubião and a Silvério dos Reis," he said in an article.

The military dictatorship of 1964 left scars that Brazilian society has not overcome to this day. Families of the dead, surviving victims, prisoners, those tortured, exiled, and disappeared have not buried this past. A page that has not been turned in the history of Brazil.
Fifty-two years later, a new coup is about to materialize in the country. Now, no longer by arms, but by Parliament. A parliamentary coup against a president legitimately elected by 54 million Brazilians. A parliamentary coup against our presidential system.
If in 64 the right wing used force, in 2016 it is the petty politics that is defrauding the Constitution, using a majority forged in Congress exclusively to remove a president, by manipulating the Magna Carta to support a false interpretation of crimes of responsibility. A spurious interpretation.
President Dilma Rousseff will go to the Federal Senate on the 29th of this month to defend herself. This is something she has been doing ever since the acceptance of the farce called an impeachment request by the unspeakable Eduardo Cunha, one of the leaders of the multi-indicted PMDB gang.
Dilma gives further proof of her bravery and innocence. She will expose herself – as President of the Republic and as a woman – to the public shaming, mockery, and derision for which a large part of her opponents and those harboring hatred are preparing.
Nothing has been proven against the president. Dilma is innocent, she committed no crime. The senators are being cruel, they are consolidating a parliamentary coup against Dilma and against 54 million votes. The senators will seize the mandate and make President Dilma ineligible for eight years.
The most shameful thing is that some of these senators who will carry out the coup were with the president during her government, were ministers, and are witnesses that she would never accept a non-republican conversation. They are traitors. They will go down in history as a Rubião and a Silvério dos Reis.
"Once again, the forces and interests against the people have coordinated themselves again...", denounced Getúlio Vargas in his last will and testament in 1954. "History repeats itself, the first time as tragedy, the second as farce," interpreted Karl Marx in the 19th century.
It's a major coup that's in its final stages. Politicians who didn't win or weren't elected by vote in 2014 are joining others who would never come to power through votes—because they don't have votes, like Michel Temer—and a handful of others whose wishes weren't fulfilled by the government.
The people are taking to the streets. We will not allow the final massacre of an innocent woman. We will not let this parliamentary coup against President Dilma take hold. The President of the Republic cannot be removed from office due to an economic crisis or political vendettas in Congress.
They spent a year and a half boycotting the economy, conspiring against the government, obstructing reform proposals and measures to recover the economy, without caring about the damage their actions caused to the working people and to the lives of businesses. Four months after their removal from office, the economic data worsened. And they still want to present themselves as saviors of the nation.
They are traitors. History will not forgive them. They will be in the books like Rubião and Silvério dos Reis.
