Dec 02nd, 2015 - 04:22 pm - Link - Report abuse 0What “process”, violent political and economic control of the country and its population, with military force?
Macri will remember that DumbAss Dilma was once a terrorist and that her cell murdered an American Military Officer in front of his wife and children BUT of course she knew nothing about it!
Dec 02nd, 2015 - 05:13 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Does anybody other than the usual Brazil Nuts believe that?
Democracy is an unknown concept to the children who 'rule' the countries of SA.
Maduro and his wife need to be publically shot to death as a starter to a new beginning for the country.
No Money Pepe is worried about a military coup, just like the one he and the other stupid murdering bastards known as Tupas caused in Uruguay.
How the country is going to rid itself of the 50,000 armed Cubans is of course another matter.
“However Mercosur's attitude has been more cautious, almost tolerant to current affairs with Rousseff stating in Paris that implementing the democratic clause “is not enough with a hypothesis; specific facts are needed to justify such a step”.”
Dec 02nd, 2015 - 05:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0“Not enough with a hypothesis” ??? is she f*cking bat mad ? doesn't she read the papers, listen to the news and to her advisors ?? For how long is this woman (not so sure about that) going to deliberately ignore the shit that's going on in VZ ???
How sad for Brazil. One of two Venezuelan chief prosecutors feels the need to flee the nation and admits that the trial of the leader of the opposition was a total sham and the leader of Brazil just turns her head. I feel equally sad for the people of Brazil as I do for the people of Venezuela. How much graft must there be in Brazil's leadership as well. Just really sad.

Dec 02nd, 2015 - 07:50 pm - Link - Report abuse 0I am sure Macri with give her a politically correct WTF!
Dilma just needs a country to escape too, that's all she is worried about.
Indeed. I totally get that both sides over blow the faults of the other BUT when you have people (relatives of the president) on diplomatic passports, transporting a ton of cocaine, from terminal 4 (the Gvt use terminal) at CCS on a plane flown by an active duty Air Force pilot AND the government calls Haiti and requests to invoke diplomatic immunity for the cocaine smugglers and then the head of the National Assembly, instead of inquiring why these two had diplomatic passports, says that they are just to adults who do what they like, it bothers me greatly to think that Brazil's leadership is so criminally entrenched with the drug trade as well, that they choose to turn a blind eye. Again, not to mention all the opposition leaders (and sitting elected opposition officials) that have been jailed or removed from their democratically elected position. I just don't get it. What is her carrot from Venezuela?

Dec 03rd, 2015 - 04:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The reason why Brazil supports VZ and declines to condemn the anti-democratic rule in that country, is because the PT, and especially Lula, who controls Dilma, is a socialist piece of crap that feeds of the productive portion of the nation and will do whatever he can to realize his, as was Chavez's , Bolivarian dream....
They are only interested in perpetuating themselves in power, no matter the cost to the nation. But now with the impeachment process against Dilma having been submitted to the Lower House in Congress (yesterday), she has come to public, lying and trying to deny any wrongdoing. I don't know whether the opposition will get enough votes (2/3) to get the motion approved, which if it does, will then go to the Senate for the final decision. Regardless of the outcome, the fact that the process has been started is a good sign, and I hope it makes the country wake-up.
Thanks! I follow Venezuela passionately (and sadly), but I know very little about Brazil. Thank you for your response. I go to Venezuela 2 or 3 times a year as my sig O is Venezuelan. I've watched her struggle even to get her pension (like our Soc Sec). It's just really just sad there. As I'm a gringo, I have to stay pretty hidden or I become the “guest” of the military (GNB) for a couple of days until I can get a hold of the Embassy. :)
