Brasilia, April 01 (teleSUR-RHC) Brazil's ruling Worker's Party (PT) released a statement on Tuesday detailing 10 proposals to tackle the crisis faced by President Dilma Rousseff, three months into her second term as president.

The statement confirms that there is an anti-government campaign seeking to “make the PT the scapegoat of national corruption and difficulties in the economy.”

“They can't stand that the PT, in such a short time, has taken 36 million Brazilians out of poverty,” the press release reads, calling right-wing opponents “bad losers in the democratic game.” According to the statement, the corruption scandals in the state-run oil company Petrobras were “denounced and investigated by our government,” moves which they point out “did not happen under previous governments.”

The document calls on the party activists to put into action a pro-PT mobilization to defend the government and to launch a “transformation,” which includes political reform and the creation of a tax on large fortunes.

Furthermore, the statement defends measures undertaken by the government including increased workers' rights, extension of the agrarian reform, reform to the education system, and the search for new finance sources for public health and back the laws of press regulation.
