\u2018Made in USA\u2019: 3 key signs that point to Washington\u2019s hand in Brazil\u2019s \u2018coup\u2019<\/a><\/h3>\n
As Brazil\u2019s left-wing president, Dilma Rousseff, has been suspended from office to face trial for disregarding budget laws, details have emerged on key figures involved in what Rousseff supporters are calling a coup, hinting at a covert plot involving Washington.<\/div>\n
\n

Following last week\u2019s vote in the Brazilian Senate that led to the suspension of the country\u2019s first female president, the left-wing politician herself noted that she\u00a0\u201cnever imagined that it would be necessary to fight a coup in this country.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

While Latin America\u2019s modern history is riddled with well-documented examples of US operations aimed at overthrowing regimes, some would argue the situation in Brazil is tied to a popular protest movement that has sprang up due to the corruption scandal and slumping economy. However, profiles of those at the center of current events offer clues as to why Washington\u2019s hand might be at play.<\/p>\n

1. From US informant to Brazil\u2019s acting president<\/strong><\/p>\n

After it emerged that Rousseff\u2019s old ally and former vice-president, Michel Temer, would succeed her as an interim head of the country, the murky details from his past have emerged on Wikileaks. The whistleblowing website said it has published proof Temer served as an embassy informant for Washington.<\/p>\n

Two cables dated January 11, 2006, and June 21, 2006, obtained by WikiLeaks reveal that Temer, a member of the centrist Brazilian Democratic Movement Party party (PMDB), briefed US diplomats on the political process in Brazil and his party\u2019s aspirations to gain power at the time of 2006 elections, which were won by Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva from the Workers\u2019 Party.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
