Uruguay's Jose Mujica Says 'Coup' in Brazil Was Premeditated
Published 1 September 2016

"What they had in Brazil was a coup," the former president told workers in Uruguay.

Jose Mujica, a senator and former president of Uruguay, said Thursday that deposed Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff was ousted because she did not yield to pressure from politicians accused of corruption—and for not being corrupt herself.

"This woman was condemned for not entering into corruption," Mujica said during a meeting with workers unions in Uruguay. The ex-president said the impeachment process against Rousseff began after she refused to give parliamentary protection to former speaker of the Lower House, Eduardo Cunha.
