The British newspaper "Financial Times" didn’t welcomed Dilma Rousseff’s advice to Europe. On Monday, the president stated, in Brussels, that investments should be made in the region to ease the crisis and instead of increasing taxes or having a more rigorous fiscal adjustment.
* "The country that currently ranks No. 152 in the World Bank and has one of the heaviest tax systems in the planet is warning against taxes," joked writer Samantha Pearson. "In addition to being unrealistic, the advice from Brazil also sounded a bit hypocritical," wrote Samantha.
* In the blog "Beyond BRIC," she also says that "with one of the strongest banking systems in the world, an enormous capacity for counter-cyclical stimulus and heavy foreign exchange reserves, no wonder that Brazil now feels entitled to distribute so much advice – even crazy."
