The Economist diz que Dilma varre os porcos que escolheu para Ministros

- Da mesma forma que a mídia, a maior parte dos políticos e a própria opinião pública, também a imprensa internacional acha que a Presidente Dilma Rousseff varre os porcos (faz faxina) no seu governo, quando na verdade ela não é a herdeira de nenhum dos Ministros de Lula, já que conviveu com eles durante os últimos quatro anos, escolheu e nomeou cada um deles e só admite a saída de cada um quando a imprensa e a oposição trataram de desmoralizá-los, como faz agora com os Ministros Carlos Lupi e Mário Negromonte. É o governo que está mergulhado num mar de lama.

As constantes quedas e trocas de ministros no Governo Dilma já repercute (e muito) lá fora. A matéria “Cleaning the Brasília pork factory” do poderoso jornal “Economist” tem direito até a charge onde a ‘presidenta’ varre porcos do planalto.

Politics in Brazil
Cleaning the Brasília pork factory
In a never-ending telenovela of sleaze, Dilma Rousseff is tackling the excesses of patronage politics but not yet the underlying system
Nov 26th 2011 | SÃO PAULO | from the print edition

BY NOW Brazil’s president, Dilma Rousseff, must be finding the script wearily familiar. First come the corruption allegations, then the indignant denials, more evidence, equivocation and retractions—and finally another of her ministers has to walk. Since June Ms Rousseff has lost her chief of staff and the ministers of transport, agriculture, tourism and sport, variously accused of influence-peddling, bribe-taking, signing fraudulent deals with shell companies and diverting public funds into party coffers or their own pockets. Now Carlos Lupi, the labour minister, has become the latest to look as if he is heading for the exit.
He is accused of presiding over a department that charged kickbacks for government contracts, of personally accepting free flights from one of those contractors and of siphoning off public money to semi-phantom non-governmental organisations (NGOs). Mr Lupi’s response was pugnacious. He did not know the man in question and had never flown with him, he said. The only way to get him out of his ministry, Mr Lupi added, would be to shoot him (“and it would have to be a big bullet, because I’m a big guy”). Then came photographs of him with both businessman and plane. His defenestration seems to be a matter of time. Barring new revelations, he may go in a wider cabinet shuffle expected early in the new year.
