"Dilma's Mistake Was to Promote Class Conciliation"
Interview With João Pedro Stédile
The economist and leader of the Landless Workers’ Movement (MST) of Brazil, Joao Pedro Stédile, affirmed that left-wing forces won't allow the Parliamentarian right to fulfill their wish to force Dilma Rousseff out of the presidency to reinstall neoliberalism in the country.
Stédile was interviewed by LibreRed, where this article was first published, and the English translation on The Dawn website.
LibreRed (LR): What will be the reaction of the Brazilian people and the MST in particular if Dilma Rousseff is destituted?
João Pedro Stédile (JPS): First of all, we're confident that it's possible to stop the coup in process now that it has reached the Senate. We believe that the government... has a greater representation in the Senate than in the Chamber of Deputies [where the vote was in favor of the impeachment], the Senators themselves are older, more experienced in politics and know that a Parliamentary coup like the ones that took place in Honduras or Paraguay would lead Brazil to a deeper crisis.
