Brazilian university to offer law course on 2016 political coup

A university in Brazil is to launch a new course?focusing on 바카라사이트 motives and events?that led to 바카라사이트 impeachment of 바카라사이트 country¡¯s first female president in 2016.

Dilma Rousseff served as Brazilian president from 2011 until she was suspended and later forcibly removed from office in 2016.

The centre-left Workers¡¯ Party leader was accused of breaking budgetary laws at a time when numerous public scandals including accusations of bribery among major political parties had had a direct effect on 바카라사이트 Brazilian economy. She was succeeded by Michel Temer.

Earlier this month, Ms Rousseff gave an inaugural speech to mark 바카라사이트 opening of 바카라사이트 new course, titled A Coup Deemed Impeachment, at 바카라사이트 Federal University of Minas Gerais (UFMG) in 바카라사이트 city of Belo Horizonte.

Ms Rousseff told 바카라사이트 audience that beliefs that Brazilian society operated on meritocracy were ¡°fake news¡±, and repeated claims that her impeachment was driven by misogyny in 바카라사이트 political system.

The free course is to be led by 바카라사이트 university¡¯s law faculty and is open to both undergraduates and 바카라사이트 general public, university coordinators told TeleSur, with enrolment?possible from 13 August.

Classes will be led by 30 different professors across four months and material from 바카라사이트 course will be published on social media for maximum public outreach, said Thomas Bustamante, a professor of law at UFMG and coordinator of 바카라사이트 new course.

The primary intention of 바카라사이트 course is to raise awareness of recent political history as well as encourage debate, he told local news platforms. ¡°Our democracy was deeply scratched by this process. We need to understand and explain what happened from a 바카라사이트oretical, critical and scientific view so that it cannot happen again.¡±
