Brazil’s Temer faces second Cabinet resignation

May 31, 2016 by

Acting Brazilian President Michel Temer swallowed the second Cabinet resignation of his short tenure on Monday night as worries grew about the government’s ability to present a united front against corruption. Fabiano Silveira resigned as Minister of Transparency, Oversight and Control after police released taped conversations in which Silveira appeared to favor obstruction of a major corruption investigation involving political figures. Planning Minister Romero Jucá took an indefinite leave-of-absence last week after similar charges were aired. Temer became Acting President earlier this month when President Dilma Rousseff was impeached for alleged violations of budget laws.
