Dilma Fires Corrupt Officials

MercoPress reports that on Friday, November 23, 2012, police raided government offices in Brasilia and São Paulo, arresting six government employees who are accused of being involved in a bribery ring.  

Wasting no time, on Saturday President Dilma Rousseff fired all those arrested, in her ongoing effort to distance herself from any of the scandals that continue to plague her ruling PT party.  

The article also includes results of a recent poll, which show that Dilma has more support (26%) for re-election in 2014 than her predecessor Lula (19%).
