Brazil Former President Urges Rousseff to Resign or Fix Crisis

Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff ought to resign or present a clear plan to emerge from crisis, the country’s former head of state, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, said.

“If the president isn’t capable of a grand gesture (resignation or an honest admission that she erred and is able to point to paths of national recovery), we will watch the increasing dismantling of the government and Congress,” Cardoso, honorary president of the country’s biggest opposition party, the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party, wrote on his Facebook page Monday.
