Supporters of Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff told teleSUR on Wednesday they believe her bid for reelection can maintain steam in the last days of the presidential race.
According to the Brazilian Social Movements’ (MST) coordinator Joaquim Pinero, “The social movements here in Brazil are certain that only with Dilma can we push for what we are asking for here in the streets – for political reform in Brazil.”
“Only through reform, will we be able to have working class representation in congress, which continues to be controlled by the big corporations,” Pinero told teleSUR English’s correspondent in Brazil, Stephanie Kennedy. Another leftist activist in Rio de Janeiro told Kennedy that Rousseff has already “managed to deepen” political reform to empower the poor and strengthen democracy.
