Dilma Rousseff’s suspension is an insult to democracy in Brazil
May 26, 2016 at 16:01
We condemn the suspension of President Dilma Rousseff in Brazil.
We condemn the suspension of President Dilma Rousseff in Brazil. It is thoroughly wrong that a few parliamentarians trample upon the political will expressed at the ballot box by 54 million Brazilians. The new government has shown its true colours by appointing a non-representative, all-male, cabinet and launching neoliberal policies that will hurt millions of working and poorer people. The interim government has no mandate to implement policies that reverse the social programmes that took 40 million people out of poverty. We join Brazil’s progressive political and social movements, and groups f-rom across global civil society including the trade uni-on movement, in condemning this attempt to overthrow democracy in Brazil.
