Dilma: I Leave the Presidency with the Same Dignity with which I Won it

Brasilia_ Dilma Rousseff was judged for the first time in her life when she was 20 years old, at the beginning of the 70’s. She was a guerrilla revolutionary woman who faced a military court whose face were covered for not being recognized.

The image of the young girl sitting in the dock for defending an ideology has been repeated 46 years later, when she was judged for second time before a plenary of senators, in its majority corrupt. There she said to feel again in her mouth the sour and flavor of the injustice and the free will; that’s the reason I resist, as I did in the past.

Rousseff was interrogated during 14 hours last Monday, as part of the final stage of the impeachment process against her. In her speech and her interventions to answer the questions of the senators she kept the serenity as the historical moment requires.

In a speech evaluated by the analysts as the most important of her political career, she insisted "The country is on the edge of the consummation of an institutional serious rupture”.

"The accusations rushed against me are mere pretexts sustained by an artificial fragile rhetoric”, she reiterated.

They are "pretexts for making viable a coup to the Constitution. An indirect election of an usurper government", she said in that moment.

The greatness of Rousseff, not only as a woman, but as a politician, was shown again this Wednesday when she appeared before the media and she sent another message to the Brazilian people after the well-known sentence against her.

Michel Temer’s government will face the most firm and strong opposition. "At this time I won't say good-bye, because from now on I will start fighting unfailingly to continue the construction of a better Brazil, she assured in her first words.

Rousseff also reaffirmed that the decision taken this day will enter in the history like one of the biggest injustices.

This is a fraud against which we will appeal in all the possible instances, she said to later noticed: "This is only the beginning, because the coup not only is directly against me, but also against the people and the nation, against the social and union movements and against all those that fight for their rights.

“I leave the Presidency of the Republic with the same dignity with which I arrived and also with identical will of continuing fighting for Brazil", Rousseff concluded.
