Rousseff: corruption not tolerated by government and Brazilian society
Dilma Rousseff 
In her address today (Sep. 28) at the UN General Assembly in New York, President Dilma Rousseff said that the government and Brazilian society do not put up with corruption.
Rousseff stated that the country has solid democratic foundations and unbiased institutions to inspect, investigate and punish wrongdoing and crimes.
“We want a country in which leaders behave strictly according to their positions, observing moderation; [a country] in which judges can judge freely and unbiasedly, free from pressure of any nature and rid of political or partisan passions, never violating the benefit of assumption of any citizen,” Rousseff added.
The head of state argued for freedom of speech among citizens and freedom of press. In her view, Brazilians want a country in which freedom of press is among the cornerstones of the right to an opinion and the right to express different views—an entitlement of every Brazilian.
