Attempted Coup in Brazil Seeks to Reverse Election Results

[Sir X]

The charges against Lula are also dubious, even if they turn out to be true. Most importantly, the accusers have not shown any connection to the big “Lava Jato” (car wash) corruption scandal — or any other corruption. Lula is accused of owning some beachfront property, which he denies owning, that was renovated by a Brazilian construction company; and of receiving money from various corporations for speeches. Most importantly, however, these are things that took place after he left the presidency. Although Bernie Sanders has rightly made an issue of Hillary Clinton’s receipt of millions of dollars from corporations for speeches, it is not illegal in the U.S. — or Brazil.

The main judge investigating these cases, Sergio Moro, had to apologize to the Supreme Court for leaking to the press wiretapped conversations between Lula and Dilma, as well as between Lula and his attorney, and between his wife and their children. The detention of Lula for questioning, with advance leaks to the media and involving 200 police despite the fact that Lula had always voluntarily submitted to questioning, also left no doubt as to the political nature of the investigation. If Moro had any evidence linking Dilma or Lula to actual corruption, it is likely that some of it would have been released by now, given that he has leaked personal and private wiretapped conversations just to embarrass them.

On the whole, they are more middle class and lighter-skinned, reflecting some of the racial and economic undercurrents in the impeachment battle.

Tiago Medina, 28, was in a group that had traveled from Porto Alegre, in Brazil’s more-prosperous south, a bastion of anti-Rousseff sentiment. He said the pro-impeachment side is made up of people “who defend the values of freedom, with less state intervention in the economy.”

Talk about the tail wagging the dog. On a more serious note, if these families are to get justice, they have to push hard now, before Obama leaves the White House, because if Clinton gets in, and once the corrupt Clinton machine starts taking monies from the Arabs, to fill their pockets, it is over for them.

Sunday's vote by the majority of Brazil's Lower House deputies to impeach President Dilma Rousseff has vestiges of constitutional action, which is now before the Senate for final resolution. But from this distance, what is emerging carries an odour of a different kind - that of an opportunistic putsch - which should be of concern to Jamaica and its partners in the Caribbean Community (CARICOM).

Indeed, Jamaica, as CARICOM's lead on international relations, should urgently engage other Community members on the developments and begin to refine a regional response to the issue, of which there can be only a single interpretation: that it poses a threat to Brazil's democracy. Indeed, CARICOM should begin to send that message of its concerns to the critical formulators of this attempt at a constitutional coup.
