BRAZIL: Lula oversees Rousseff's acclamation
The minister of Brazil's presidency, Dilma Rousseff, was acclaimed as
the presidential candidate for the ruling Partido dos Trabalhadores (PT) at the
party's congress last week. The formal confirmation of her candidacy was
overseen by President Lula da Silva, who encouraged Rousseff's candidacy while
suppressing the PT's extremist proposals for a future government. Doubts remain
over Rousseff's ability to keep party militants in line without Lula behind her,
raising concerns that her prospective administration could be plagued by
political problems.
