Brazilian Minister Abraham Weintraub told the press Friday that (Oct 18) the budget for all of the country’s federal universities has been restored.

Prior changes had done his ministry’s measures no harm, he argued. “It was good administration. […] We’ll end the year with everything going well,” he added.
