1. 1
STUNT OF DILMA ROUSSEF GOVERNMENT WITH CONSERVATIVES
SECTORS FROM BRAZIL TO PREVENT ITS DISMISSAL OF POWER
Fernando Alcoforado *
Stunt of Dilma Rousseff government with conservative sectors of Brazil is underway to
prevent their removal from power through impeachment for having practiced fiscal
responsibility crime and have used resources of corruption in Petrobras in her re-
election campaign in 2014. To help to prevent the impeachment, the Dilma Rousseff
government triggered several initiatives being the first of them the cooptation of
President of the Senate, Renan Calheiros, and the second, the isolation and
neutralization of the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Eduardo Cunha, who
threatened to put on vote the impeachment of the President Dilma Rousseff. In addition,
there was the cooptation of STF (Federal Court of Justice) ministers at a dinner with
Dilma Roussef that produced a result favorable to her as the decision of the trial of
fiscal responsibility crime to be decided by Congress and not by the House of
Representatives as provided for Constitution.
The decision of the Supreme Court, which prevented the fiscal responsibility crime to
be judged by the House of Representatives which has in Eduardo Cunha, its president,
outspoken government opponent, but deliberate in joint session of the House of
Representatives and the Senate, favors the possibility of no impeachment of Dilma
Rousseff. Most likely the dining of STF ministers with Dilma Rousseff last week
contributed to this outcome, and could help exonerate her in the TSE to use funds
derived from corruption in Petrobras in his election campaign. It is thus reinforced the
scenario for the continuity of Dilma Rousseff government in power regardless of
mobilizing nearly 1 million Brazilians on 16/08 demanding his resignation or
impeachment.
It should be noted that the cooptation of Senator Renan Calheiros was evident when he
proposed "Agenda Brazil" which is a destruction program of social achievements
because it undertakes in retirement, promises to consecrate the wild outsourcing, favors
rural sector, jeopardizes the environment, threat servants' income, among others. It was
also admitted even begin privatization of SUS (Health Unic System). It is a real social
disaster. "Agenda Brazil", embraced by Dilma Rousseff comes simultaneously to the
movement of his government towards the big capital. To what is already known,
multiplied meetings of government emissaries with heads of major banks, big business
tycoons and telecommunications to obtain the necessary support to the government
Dilma Rousseff. As a result of these meetings, governance with Dilma Rousseff came to
be defended by the president of Bradesco bank, the vice president of Rede Globo of
communications, representatives of Fiesp (Federation of Industries of the State of São
Paulo) and FIRJAN (Federation of Industries of Rio de Janeiro) and as many plutocrats.
To save himself, Dilma Rousseff and the PT is definitely delivered to the right.
Because Renan Calheiros and the sectors of big business advocate maintaining Dilma
Rousseff in power? Certainly spurious agreements should have been concluded to save
Renan Calheiros to be included as corrupt in process of Operação Lava Jato that leads
with corruption in Petrobras, forgive or alleviate the payment of high debts of Rede
Globo towards the tax authorities, increasing banks' earnings of facilities and large
companies. Renan Calheiros, for example, has been benefited because it was not
included as corrupt in process of Operação Lava Jato reported in Operation Lava jet by
the Attorney General of the Republic but yes Eduardo Cunha, opening thus the

2. 2
possibility of removing the latter from the presidency of the House of Representatives.
This "Big Deal" between the Dilma Roussef government, Renan Calheiros and big
business was complemented in the day (18/08) with the manifesto, stimulated by Dilma
Rousseff government officials, of organizations like the Order of Lawyers of Brazil
(OAB ) and the National Confederation of Industry (CNI), Agriculture and Livestock
(CNA) and Transport (CNT), which were against the impeachment of President Dilma
Rousseff and in favor of a pact of governability seeking the support of eight other
entities.
All this stunt to avoid the dismissal of Dilma Rousseff of power is an antithesis of the
will of the vast majority of the Brazilian people advocating the resignation or
impeachment of Dilma Rousseff. This spurious stunt of Dilma Rousseff government to
remain in power against the will of the vast majority of the nation continues the harmful
action of PT governments of Lula and Dilma Rousseff that in addition to devastate the
Brazilian economy set up in meager economic growth, uncontrolled inflation in the last
four years, the existing bottlenecks in economic and social infrastructure, the de-
industrialization of the Brazilian economy, the explosion of public debt and the
denationalization of the Brazilian economy, the Dilma Rousseff government decided to
adopt in its second government policy that has a recessive that is translating in the
stagnation of the economy, the enormous increase in public debt, the imbalance in the
external accounts and also in mass unemployment. PT government from Lula to Dilma
Rousseff, supposedly leftist, betrayed the trust of his constituents who wanted to carry
out a government for the people and not for the magnates of capital as they have done
since 2002.
Faced with the possibility of permanence of the disastrous Dilma Rousseff government
in power and, taking into account that the country moves swiftly to the economic
collapse of serious political and social consequences, the trend was the emergence of a
political and institutional crisis that can put in order day the return of the military to
power for maintaining the ruling order. It will be impossible, an unpopular government
like that of Dilma Rousseff maintain order in a context of mass unemployment, growing
indebtedness of the population and bankruptcies of companies as is already happening.
The current economic situation is unsustainable. This is the big risk of permanence of
Dilma Rousseff government in power. All those fighting for the current government
stay in power would be contributing thus to the occurrence of this scenario considering
that all government action is geared towards keeping the bankrupt neoliberal economic
model and not to propose new directions for the national economy. The attempt to keep
the bankrupt neoliberal model in place through fiscal adjustment implemented by the
federal government will further deepen the current economic stagnation and lead the
national economy to disaster. To reverse this situation, the current government would
have to adopt a new developmental national model of selective opening of the Brazilian
economy to promote Brazil's development on a new basis and stop the ongoing
economic stagnation.
The developmental model of selective national openness of the Brazilian economy
should consider the following: 1) Replacement of floating exchange rates in effect by
fixed exchange rates to avoid the dizzying rise in current dollars; 2) Control the inflow
and outflow of capital, particularly speculative to prevent capital flight; 3)
Nationalization of banks to ensure liquidity to citizens and businesses; 4) Selective
Imports of raw materials and essential commodities from overseas to reduce
expenditures in currency of the country; 5) Market reserve in areas considered strategic

3. 3
for national development; and, 6) Renationalization of privatized state enterprises
considered strategic to national development. The national development project would
cause Brazil to take on the direction of its destination, unlike the neoliberal model in
place that makes the future of the country to be dictated by market forces all of them
committed to national and international financial capital.
This action should be preceded by the following measures: 1) Renegotiation with
creditors of public debt in order to reduce the burden of paying the debt with your
stretching in time and also of public expenditure to the minimum necessary so that the
Brazilian government has enough savings to invest in the expansion of the Brazilian
economy avoiding stagnation; 2) Renegotiation with creditors of public debt in order to
reduce the burden of payment for 1/3 or ¼ of the federal budget; and, 3) Drastic
reduction of public expenses reducing the number of ministries from 39 to 15 or 20 and
the elimination or reduction to a minimum of commissioned positions that are about 22
thousand. An extremely fragile government as the Dilma Rousseff will not be able to
put into practice a new development model in Brazil. Unfortunately, we are facing a
catastrophic scenario that will affect the lives of citizens, families and businesses.
