From the start of the campaign to impeach Brazils democratically elected President Dilma Rousseff, the primary justification was that she used a budget trick known as pedaladas (peddling: illegal delay of re-payments to state banks) to mask public debt. But this week, as the Senate conducts her impeachment trial, that accusation was obliterated: The Senates own expert report concluded there was no indication of direct or indirect action by Dilma in any such budgetary maneuvers. As the Associated Press put it: Independent auditors hired by Brazils Senate said in a report released Monday that suspended President Dilma Rousseff didnt engage in the creative accounting she was charged with at her impeachment trial. In other words, the Senates own objective experts gutted the primary claim as to why impeachment was something other than a coup. .........

(160,662 posts)1. Would you also post these articles in the Latin America forum, Coyotl?
They would stay in sight longer than articles tend to stay in G.D., and they would be much appreciated.
Thank you.
