experts, criticism Dilma espionage was response to the Brazilian public

In his speech in New York, Rousseff said the United States violate human rights and civil liberties to spy on governments and citizens around the world –the US government is accused of spying including personal data from the President. In response, Obama said at the meeting that the US would be reviewing the way collect informações.O hard tone adopted by President Dilma Rousseff on Tuesday (24) in his opening address to the 68th UN General Assembly was a dignified attitude “head of state” and a way to show the Brazilian people that the country is ruled by a leader able to give a “haughty response” the president of the United States, Barack Obama. So they say experts consulted by UOL.

To Antonio Carlos Lessa, professor of international relations at UNB (University of Brasilia), the goal of Dilma was to be stated before the public.

“The speech is much more related to internal politics than external. Dilma wanted to say before the public. He gave a haughty response to President Obama. His speech served to reiterate the pride of position that she wants to spend, that is making respect”, said Lessa, who criticized, Yet, that the president does not act the same way with Bolivia, for example.

The coordinator of international relations at ESPM-SP, Rodrigo Cintra, said Dilma acted as expected. “As head of state, she had to do it. There was an attack on the sovereignty of the country. It is what is expected of a head of state”, he said.

According to Cintra, the speech of the President is a response to both the Brazilian and the international community. “The Brazil opens the UN General Assembly and is expected to give the meeting tone. There is, So, the expectation that Brazil will raise questions that need to be discussed. And the whole world is complaining of espionage”, completed.

“The opening of the general debate is an important moment of Brazilian diplomacy, It is when Brazil can show the world his vision of international relations”, Lessa completed. “And it's not always that the president will. So, when will, speech gets a very politically charged, mainly the internal point of view.”

Although he stated that the president tried to “capitalizing internally”, Antonio Lessa said he did not believe that the speech focus is the presidential race 2014. “There is no end electioneering, but it has political purpose”, he said, mending the espionage theme should lose steam until elections, the same defended by Cintra. “I think we are far from the 2014 demand”, said Professor ESPM.

As for the future of relations between Brazil and the United States, Lessa said he believes the worst is over, referring to the fact that Dilma have postponed the official visit that would make the United States in October.

“The complex was to have postponed a state visit. In bilateral relations this is a very hard language, very violent. So, after that, the speech today did not do much damage”, he said.

For the American journalist Glenn Greenwald, which revealed to the world the spying program, the USA “must pay” By destroying privacy. “The speech shows that we live in a world where other countries now have a power of more significant influence. E, therefore, the US can not go around doing what they want without suffering consequences”, said.

As for the opposition, Dilma's speech is mere advertising. In a statement to the press, the president of the PSDB, Senator Aécio Neves (MG), He said the Brazilian government needs to take “their responsibility in relation to cyber defense of the country” instead of dealing with the issue “from the perspective of marketing”.
