"If those who took to the streets are not heard, discontent will grow"
"Dialogue with humility", that's what promised the President of Brazil, after the big demonstration in the streets of the country. According to police, 1.7 million Brazilians protested Sunday against Dilma Rousseff narrowly re-elected in November. Many demanded his dismissal after Petrobras corruption scandal and bribes paid to members of his coalition.
"We are all here in complete agreement with this demand of the population, said the President, and are firmly committed to take steps to intensify the fight against corruption."
Just when Dilma Rousseff was speaking, the federal prosecutor formally indicted for "corruption" and "money laundering" the treasurer of his party, Joao Vaccari, in the case of Petrobras.
"If the government and President Rousseff will not listen to those who took to the street if concrete steps are not taken to reinvent government, said political analyst Paulo Baia, discontent will grow."
The left president is not only weakened by the scandal involving the state oil giant, but also by the economic crisis. Its popularity is plummeting 23%. A new event is scheduled for April 12.
