The President of Brazil threatens prosecution

Brazil could move towards an institutional crisis, after the Court of Auditors has invited the Brazilian parliamentarians to vote against the public accounts of 2014, following the decision of the Electoral Tribunal to reopen an investigation into the presidential campaign of that year, held flawed by the opposition because of illegal public funding, involving the oil company public. In that election he was re-elected the current president of the country Dilma Rousseff, that would be so uncomfortable in the role of defendant, a factor which, even if only potential, contribute to aggravate the already low approval ratings in the polls. Almost to prevent this situation, the Brazilian president had, in recent days provided for the formation of a new government, giving more power to the allies of the centrist Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, who have distinguished themselves several times not to be aligned to the positions of Rousseff, which, therefore, he has made a move of desperation to prevent the fall of the government for political reasons. On the other hand in the left of the country arouses particular aversion program cuts, which Rousseff, would like to make, but has recently suffered a crushing defeat not approved some measures for the lack of voter participation of many members belonging to the majority . Despite that, according to some analysts the results of the procedures that could incriminate the president, have a high likelihood of effects, the influence of these charges on the political stability of the country have obvious implications, at a time of great economic difficulty for Brazil , which is involved in a severe economic downturn, after years of consistent growth. From the institutional point of view, the effects of the investigation, may result in the forfeiture of Rousseff, that would cause a new round of elections, where hardly the Workers Party, that of the president, could get another victory. Could thus, stop the political trajectory of the Brazilian left, probably too far from the starting values, because profoundly changed in its mode of action and its policies. Certainly one of the causes of the decline of the practices left was the rejection, albeit non-binding, the public accounts for 2014, an election year, that has not happened since 1936, due to the likely willingness to make less burdensome the size of the deficit public, a factor that could be used by the opposition during the election campaign. If this were true violation of direct concern to the law in force on the matter of fiscal responsibility and the Constitution of Brazil; as a result of what could constitute a violation of the responsibilities of the president and then its decline. But beyond these technical details, although very important, the crisis of the Brazilian left reflects that of the majority of progressive movements, who once climbed, in power, in fact deny their values ​​and their history, through involvement in scandals, who betray the correctness and legality of which should be carrying heavy and implementing measures that affect different social groups, from the weakest to the middle class, preserving large concentrations of power. In Brazil, a country rich in resources, this happened with the involvement of state industries, which manage the wealth of the country and that they had become the instrument of redistribution of national wealth. If Rousseff will manage to escape the legal pitfalls, caused by the behavior of his own party, not necessarily able to finish the legislature: the government will be weakened by the affair and should be based on compromise less and less relevant to the people's will to survive.
