247 Columnist Eliane Cantanhêde linked the Malaysian Airlines plane crash, which killed 298, to another 'defeat' for the Dilma Rousseff government. 

According to her, the disastrous accident overshadows important partnerships established by Dilma Rousseff with the President of China, Xi Jinping, and deteriorates the international scenario at a time when the Brazilian economy is fragile.

“This Thursday (17) itself, two negative news: economic contraction in May and the worst job creation in June in 16 years. As Dilma’s excuse for the mediocre economy is the international environment, it shouldn’t improve anytime soon,” he says (read closest).
