Telesur — Brazil's Right Wing's Undermining of Democracy


Government supporters say the opposition is inventing a crisis in order to undemocratically remove President Dilma Rousseff from power. The political forces organizing marches Sunday against the democratically-elected government of Dilma Rousseff began conspiring against the left-wing president immediately after it became known that she had won the run-off election in October 2014 against the candidate of the Brazilian elites, Aecio Neves. The right-wing political opposition in Brazil has been reluctant to accept the results of that election, seeking to implement their neoliberal agenda by whatever means they can. The opposition, like their right-wing contemporaries in the rest of Latin America, have become frustrated at their repeated electoral defeats..... 
Leaders of the Free Brazil Movement (MBL), one of the main organizers of Sunday’s marches, told Folha de Sao Paulo, “The main aim of the movement, at this moment, is to overthrow the PT, the biggest nemesis of freedom and democracy that haunts our country."
