Singer to Dilma: 'If you're going to fall, fall for good reasons'
Political scientist André Singer, who was Lula's spokesperson, suggests to President Dilma Rousseff that she not try to "complete the entire program of her opponent from last year"; he also states that Brazil is plunging into a deep political crisis stemming from the personal ambitions of opposition leaders, such as Senator Aécio Neves (PSDB-MG), and the legal problems of other political figures.
247 - Political scientist André Singer published a good analysis of the current scenario in his column. Samba of crazy politics.
"Three weeks ago, Eduardo Cunha was accused, in the context of Lava Jato, of demanding and receiving a bribe of 5 million dollars. In response, he decided to break with the President of the Republic. What does one thing have to do with the other? Nothing. Dilma Rousseff does not control the Judiciary, the Public Prosecutor's Office, or the Federal Police. Cunha knows this. It's a diversionary tactic," he says.
Singer also wrote about the internal division within the PSDB. "The Aécio faction of the PSDB is rushing to change its position and abandoning the impeachment led by Cunha. It decides to call on the population to march for the immediate holding of new elections," he says. "It so happens that if the president is impeached and Temer takes over, in 2018 Alckmin and Serra will compete, within the PSDB, for the candidacy with Aécio. But if the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) annuls the Dilma and Michel ticket, calling for an election now, Aécio would have in his favor the recall of the recently contested presidential election and the fact that Alckmin would need to resign from the government of São Paulo."
Finally, Singer also gives advice to President Dilma Rousseff: "If you are going to fall, fall for good reasons, Madam President. Not for trying to fulfill the complete program of your opponent from last year."
