Washington, Brazilian bankers behind Rousseff impeachment: Analyst
Press TV has interviewed Marcelo Sanchez, a commentator and journalist in Tehran, and Isaac Bigio, a Latin America expert in London, to discuss Brazilian opposition’s attempt to impeach President Dilma Rousseff over corruption charges.
Sanchez says this is an attempted coup by “a parliament composed of thieves” to remove a democracy that was elected by 54 million Brazilian citizens.
“An obscure hand lurking behind the scenes” is also at work against the elected Brazilian government, he adds.
“We have Paraguay 2012; Haiti 2011, 2004; Honduras 2009; Venezuela 2002; so this dark hand lurking behind the scenes is tied to, guess what, Washington,” he suggests.
The analyst further notes that most of the politicians going after Rousseff today did the same thing to her predecessor Lula da Silva and face such charges as money laundry, slavery and corruption.
He says the Brazilian opposition is using vague excuses and manipulates public opinion through the powerful opposition-controlled media outlets in the country.
Sanchez also argues that Rousseff’s lacking economic policies also contributed to the current situation and “bankers” would have no excuse to bring up the issue of impeachment if Brazil was not facing the current economic recession it is grappling with today.
Bigio, for his part, says Rousseff and her party fueled the predicament by teaming up with corrupt political elite and their parties and are now “paying the bill.”
