President Dilma Rousseff has made yet another pronouncement concerning the death of presidential candidate Eduardo Campos. On television, she pointed out that Campos was “ promising politician who could reach the country’s highest positions,” adding that regardless “of our divergences, we’ve always maintained a relationship based on mutual respect.”

The president said she hopes that the example set by the untimely deceased candidate serves to keep him alive in the memories and hearts of Brazilians. She also stated that she had not yet had a chance to talk to Campos’s family, but offered them the support of the federal government.

In a note issued previously issued, Rousseff mentioned the 3-day period of mourning and the suspension of her appointments for the same duration. “Brazil will now weep [the death] of this great Brazilian,” she said.
