An expert report prepared by Senate technicians, delivered on June 27th to the impeachment committee in response to questions from the defense and prosecution of President Dilma, concludes that she did not engage in the so-called "fiscal maneuvers." The document, signed by three technicians, notes that Dilma did not act to delay the transfer of R$ 3,5 billion from the Treasury to Banco do Brasil for the Plano Safra (agricultural subsidy program), one of the accusations included in the impeachment request against the president.
"Based on the analysis of the data, documents, and information related to the Plano Safra (agricultural plan), no act of commission by the Honorable President of the Republic was identified that directly or immediately contributed to the payment delays," says an excerpt from the report.see more here).
OAS and international press They denounce the coup.
In Brazil to participate in a public hearing at the Human Rights and Participatory Legislation Commission (CDH) and to meet with the president of the Supreme Federal Court, Minister Ricardo Lewandowski, in May, the Secretary-General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Luis Almagro, was once again categorical about the impeachment process of Dilma Rousseff: it is a coup. He alleges a lack of legal basis and questions the impartiality of the judges.
"Disregarding the limits established in the Brazilian constitutional system affects the structure and functioning of that system and distorts the strength and operability that the Constitution and the laws should have," he told senators.remember here)
A report in the British magazine The Economist stated in May that "the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, an unpopular president who, personally, has not been accused of serious wrongdoing, is a loophole around the Constitution. (Many of the politicians who voted for her impeachment are tireless exploiters of such loopholes, for example regarding campaign finance laws.)" see here.
Spiegel, Germany's largest magazine, published an article The text discusses the Brazilian political landscape, pointing to a "cold coup" against President Dilma Rousseff's government, orchestrated by part of the opposition, the judiciary, and with the support of TV Globo. It also states that the "ambitious" Lava Jato judge, Sérgio Moro, has as his "evident central objective" to put former President Lula "behind bars."
"For the first time since the end of the military dictatorship in the mid-80s, the largest country in Latin America is facing an imminent and profound institutional crisis that could destroy all the progress achieved in the last 30 years. Part of the opposition and the judiciary, together with the largest telecommunications company, TV Globo, are acting to incite a veritable witch hunt targeting former President Lula," the excerpt reads.
The New York Times, the world's largest newspaper, also condemned the parliamentary coup led by Eduardo Cunha & Co., which transformed Brazil into a banana republic in the eyes of the world. According to an editorial, the fiscal maneuvers were a pretext for a referendum on the PT, in power since 2003: "Dilma, who was re-elected in 2014 for four years, is being held responsible for the country's economic crisis and for the revelations of corruption investigations involving the Brazilian political class," the text says.
The newspaper also says that the process is being led by politicians accused of crimes more serious than those attributed to President Dilma. It concludes that, if she survives the battle, she will have to demonstrate strong leadership to fix the economy and eradicate corruption (read more). here).
The Portuguese version of the Spanish newspaper El País published an editorial on its website entitled "An Irregular Process," denouncing the ongoing coup in Brazil. The text defines Dilma's removal as "a kind of constitutional coup." "While Brazil sinks into recession, the opposition used Congress to transform a politically motivated accusation – mismanagement of the budget – into a process intended for criminal cases," the editorial points out.here’s a tip for you!)
British leftists and US congressmen also denounce
Coming soon to [website/platform name] The Guardian newspaperThe most important names in British Labour condemn the removal of President Dilma Rousseff. Under the title 'Suspension of Dilma Rousseff is an insult to democracy in Brazil', they say that "It is completely wrong that some parliamentarians trample on the political will expressed at the ballot box by 54 million Brazilians", and that "the new government has shown its true colors with the appointment of an unrepresentative, all-male cabinet".
In the United States, the denunciation of the sham impeachment of Dilma, championed by major newspapers such as The New York Times, is now gaining traction among American lawmakers. In a letter to John Kerry, 33 lawmakers are asking the Secretary of State to refrain from making statements favorable to Temer (read more here).
