Opinion: It Is Not a Coup, But It Looks Like; MARCELO COELHO
“The impeachment, I read everywhere, is a legitimate and democratic instrument provided by the Constitution. ..In theory, any unpopular president may be removed from office if there are enough votes in Congress. So, the more automatic the use of this weapon, the more a president's term becomes hostage of a majority of congressmen. It is as if, in the final analysis, no president could govern with a minority in the legislature. The balance between the powers falls apart.”

Now who was it that said “The PT is a a minority party that has had to rely on a shaky conditional coalition. Without a solid majority in both the Senate and Congress to have a freehand in implementing their policies.” Just like the professional commentator from FOLHA DE S.PAULOO, oh yes that was me. Who was the nitpicker who passes himself of as an expert and claimed that was untrue? “By stating Either you are a habitual liar, or you have a short memory...or both”. (#37)http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/internacional/en/opinion/2015/09/1685292-opinion-it-is-not-a-coup-but-it-looks-like.shtml Why it was the supremacist Jack Bauer who has either been caught telling porkies again, or myself and MARCELO COELHO have got it wrong?
The stupid cow could try reducing the still ongoing massacre of the Amazon rainforest-Brazils shameful and unspoken crime.

Sep 29th, 2015 - 09:24 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is so clear. What don't you understand ? governing with a minority is very different to the “PT being a minority party”'....why insist on misinterpreting the facts ? It's a known fact that the PT is the second largest party in Brazil, considering its number of militants, Congressmen, Governors, and Senators, as well as number of inhabitants under its direct influence ; not to mention the “presidAnta”. The fact that the PT is unable to swing the congressional votes the way it wants, does not make it a minority party, it means that, considering the other 31 parties, the PT does not have a majority in Congress. Simple. Can't believe you are so thick. Your statement that “PT is a minority party”, and your attempt to BS your way out of it, is useless. When exposed for shitting out the pot, you denied it. Now that you think you can win an arguement by doing an about-turn, you actually admit having said it. Which is it you liar ? The more you open your mouth, the more you stink.
Marcelo Coelho's article is fairly neutral and he actually mentions that impeachment is a legal procedure, foreseen in the Constitution. About time. So why are you against its application, if justified ? It was used to get rid of Collor, in 1992....was that illegal ? I suppose you wouldn't know, because you weren't here.
Marcelo also writes : “Nowadays the focus seems to be more on Lula than on Rouseff. She benefited indirectly from the Petrobras scheme - I think it is quite clear, but it is curious that Lula's doll is being dressed as a convict, and Rousseff's is not”
His “opinion” is that Dilma benefited from the PB scheme. Wow ! Do you accept his “opinion”, without proof ?
But his allegation that Dilma's doll was not dressed as a convict is wrong...both hers and Lula's doll were dressed as convicts during the last protests, in SP and in Brasilia. And I have photos to prove it.
Porkies ? really ? lol...

In June 2012, the U.S. Treasury recognized ARPA at its inaugural Development Impact Honors. ..The second phase, implemented in early 2012 with a budget of US$85.5 million, seeks to (i) create an additional 13.5 million hectares of protected areas, (ii) consolidate 32 million hectares of existing protected areas”

Tue Oct 21, 2014 Brazil protects giant swathe of Amazon rainforest
The Brazilian government said on Tuesday it has put an environmentally rich area of the Amazon rainforest under federal protection, creating a reserve larger than the U.S. state of Delaware.
The new reserve, called Alto Maues, has 6,680 square km (668,000 hectares or 1.65 million acres) of mostly untouched forests that are not known to have human presence, the Brazilian Environment Ministry said. Declaring a federal reserve means forest clearing and similar development are forbidden.
It's amazing the Brazilian government has got that far when there are vested interests that that will murder all and any that prevent them from exploiting the environment. The government has resorted
to the use of drones in order to prevent such individuals from enslaving people for the purpose of working on their estates.
@4 The Amazon rainforest is Brazil and we do it the we want. Or do you think that the forest belongs to the Queen of England?

Sep 30th, 2015 - 10:49 am - Link - Report abuse 0You can use all the sophistry you want but, MARCELO COELHO clearly states, specifically addressing Dilma's predicament “no president could govern with a minority in the legislature”
“impeachment is a legal procedure...if justified”
“If both Rousseff and Temer go, runner-up Neves would take over, with even those in opposition recognizing that such a decision by the Superior Electoral Court would not necessarily give them the legitimacy they would need to govern. Since the restoration of democracy in Brazil in 1985, impeachment charges have been brought only against President Fernando Collor de Mello, in 1992, when he was directly linked to corruption scandals...in the event that impeachment proceedings are instigated in the Lower House, Rousseff may decide to take her case to the Supreme Court. Unlike congressmen, Brazilian supreme court justices have little interest in the polls and nor are they yet much concerned with the investigations of the Petrobras scandal.”
http://frombrazil.blogfolha.uol.com.br/2015/09/18/brazils-political-crisis-explained/
Says Ex-President Cardoso in answer to the question. The opposition has the necessary votes to open impeachment proceedings today?
“The impeachment depends on you having a convincing argument, not only for Congress, but for the people. Those who wish to impeach haven't built a compelling narrative so far. Take the fiscal ”pedaling“. You can argue, as jurists have done, that there's no way to characterize a crime.”

Sep 30th, 2015 - 05:48 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“sophistry” ? again ?!? Give it a rest, numbnuts.
You insist on twisting the meaning of what I write because you aren't man enough to admit you've really pissed-out the pot. You now base your arguments on others' opinions, without worrying about the burden of proof. Has Marcelo become your latest hero, and because of that, you 'just' believe him ?
The fact is you don't even understand what he wrote in his article, ““no president could govern with a minority in the legislature”.....
Once again, you aren't able to tell the difference between 'having a minority in Congress' - which in Dilma's case, is true - from your calling the PT a ”minority party“ - which is wrong. Too subtle for your wee brain ?
Whether there is today, legally speaking, sufficient basis for impeaching Dilma, I can only base myself on what is public knowledge, but in my ”opinion“, I think there is. As to the possibility of Dilma appealing to the Supreme Court in the event that Congress decides to impeach her, I am not so sure they would oblige her, as impeachemt proceedings, according to the Constitution, start and end in Congress.
Regarding the ”pedaladas fiscais”, the jurists can argue whatever they want until they are blue in face, but the Law is clear , and she broke it (like other governments also have) , therefore, by definition it IS a crime ; Now, if they decide to let her get away with it, that's another story.
But your first statement is what surprises me : ““If both Rousseff and Temer go, runner-up Neves would take over,.......”
If Dilma is impeached before the end of 2016 (within first 2 years of her mandate), new elections need to be called. Whether Aécio decides to run or not, and if he does, whether he wins or not, is up to the people to decide, and would automatically give the winner, whoever it is, the necessary legitimacy they would need to govern. The rest is bullshit.

Oct 03rd, 2015 - 10:16 pm - Link - Report abuse 0No you presumptious idiot, I never weasled out of anything. By the time I became a Brazilian citizen, I had already done my military service, and was over the conscription age for Brazil ; But, due to my level of instruction - far higher than yours - I was given officer rank, which meant that I could be called up to serve at any time (up to a certain age), if necessary.
You see numbnuts, once again you prove that 'you' are full of BS.
I know that you think cleaning out the latrines on Base makes you are a hero, but here's some news for you : It doesn't. I think you inhaled too many poop fumes.
Thanks, but the links were unnecessary . I know how things work here. The fact that one of them refers to the Brazilian Embassy in Wellington, can we presume that you live there or, perhaps are even a Kiwi ?

So once again my proofs are so overwhelming that you are left with nothing more than your childish personal attacks. So you can chalk that up as one more loss, loser.

”...never attended a University, otherwise...” -
Reminding you of your lack of a decent education was, I admit , a bit of a low blow, but you should really get used to it,
What is 'overwhelming' is your opinion of your own self-importance. Have you noticed that with you everything is superlative ? and usually wrong. Your conclusions are those of an idiot who cannot think for himself, so you hide behind other people's opinions/quotes. No need to get stressed over it. Just accept the facts.
I don't care whether you believe me or not, as your opinion - when yours, or even poached from someone else - doesn't interest me.
