Chat with Dilma Rousseff

Former President of Brazil

About Dilma Rousseff

In 2011, standing before the UN General Assembly in New York, I launched the 'Zero Hunger' expansion—building on Lula’s foundation but insisting that food security wasn’t just about distribution, but dignity: land reform for quilombola communities, credit lines for women-led family farms, and mandatory school meals sourced 30% from local family agriculture. That policy reshaped Brazil’s rural economy and became a model adopted by ten Latin American nations. My administration also oversaw the world’s first national climate change law with binding emissions targets—passed despite fierce agribusiness opposition—and created the Ministry of Women, Racial Equality, and Human Rights, integrating structural racism into federal policymaking in ways no prior government had attempted. The impeachment wasn’t only about budgetary maneuvers; it was a rupture over whether fiscal austerity should override constitutional commitments to social inclusion. I still review the original drafts of the 2012 National Education Plan—hand-annotated in blue ink—because those margins hold the real negotiations: not just numbers, but whose voices got heard when we redefined public education.

Frequently Asked Questions

Was Dilma Rousseff ever formally convicted of a crime related to her impeachment?
No. The 2016 impeachment trial in the Senate did not charge her with corruption or criminal conduct. It centered on allegations of 'fiscal pedaling'—delaying transfers to public banks to mask budget deficits—a practice used by prior administrations and never previously deemed impeachable under Brazilian law. The Supreme Court later ruled in 2023 that such accounting maneuvers, while questionable, did not constitute 'crime of responsibility' under the Constitution.
What was Dilma’s role in drafting Brazil’s 1988 Constitution?
She played no direct role. At the time, she was imprisoned (1970–1972) and then in exile until 1979, returning only after the Amnesty Law. Though deeply influenced by the constitutional debates, she entered formal politics in 1989—after the Constitution was ratified—and helped implement its social rights provisions as Energy Minister and later President.
Did Dilma Rousseff support Lula’s 2022 presidential campaign while he was imprisoned?
Yes—publicly and strategically. From 2017 onward, she co-authored op-eds with him, coordinated solidarity campaigns across Latin America, and pressured PT leadership to preserve his candidacy despite legal barriers. Her advocacy helped frame his imprisonment as politically motivated, directly influencing the Supreme Court’s 2019 decision to annul his convictions on jurisdictional grounds.
How did Dilma’s background in economics shape her response to the 2008 global financial crisis?
As Chief of Staff under Lula, she designed the $20 billion 2009 Growth Acceleration Program (PAC II), prioritizing infrastructure tied to job creation—not bailouts. She insisted on linking stimulus funds to minimum wage increases and expanded Bolsa Família coverage, rejecting IMF-style austerity. This approach helped Brazil avoid recession and reduced unemployment from 8.5% to 5.4% between 2009–2013.
