Brasilia - The condemnation by governments, leaders and parties in Latin America and the Caribbean of the parliamentary judicial coup perpetrated against Dilma Rousseff has evidently angered the Brazilian Government, which issued communiqués in that regard on Wednesday night.

In a statement issued on Wednesday afternoon in Havana and quoted by local television here, the Revolutionary Government of the Republic of Cuba strongly condemned the coup d'état that overthrew the constitutional president although no evidence of crimes of corruption or offenses of liability were presented during her impeachment.

That is 'an act of disrespect for the sovereign will of the people who elected her,' pointed out the communiqué, which noted the fact that many of those who impeached the president (at the Federal Senate) are under investigation for corruption.

What happened in Brazil is another expression of the offensive launched by imperialism and the oligarchy against the revolutionary and progressive governments in Latin America and the Caribbean, threatening the nations' peace and stability and violating the spirit and letter of the Proclamation of Latin America and the Caribbean as Zones of Peace, the communiqué stressed.

For his part, President Rafael Correa ratified the withdrawal of Ecuador's business attaché in Brazil, Horacio Sevilla, and described the action against Rousseff as an 'apology of abuse and treason'.

Meanwhile, Ecuadorean Foreign Minister Guillaume Long pointed out that the ousting of the Brazilian president was not a constitutional action, because in order to approve it, a pretext was used and the votes were already counted.

The Bolivian Government also summoned his ambassador here, Jose Kinn, for consultation 'to take measures that are advisable at present,' said President Evo Morales on his Twitter account, after condemning the parliamentary coup against Brazilian democracy.

We accompany Dilma, Lula and their people at this difficult time, noted Evo Morales, while the Foreign Ministry called on all States in the region to condemn these 'soft' coups in light of the danger that the institutionalization of democracy will be weakened by opposition forces that are incapable of winning the necessary votes to establish a government.

Venezuela, in turn, decided to withdraw its ambassador to Brazil, Alberto Castellar, for good and to freeze political and diplomatic relations with the government that resulted from the parliamentary coup.

The Government of Nicaragua also condemned the coup d'état against Constitutional President Dilma Rousseff and warned that a tough period is ahead for the Brazilian people.

'Democracy in Brazil has been affronted. We condemn the coup perpetrated against Dilma Rousseff,' noted the main leftwing party in Costa Rica, Frente Amplio (Broad Front), which does not approve the legitimacy of a Senate where two-thirds of its members are under investigation for acts of corruption.

In communiqués published on Wednesday night, the Brazilian Foreign Ministry said that it would summon its ambassador to Venezuela for consultations and regretted what it called 'expressions of a lack of understanding' by the governments of Bolivia, Ecuador and Cuba about the conclusions of Dilma Rousseff's impeachment.
