These questions are in respect of Brazil. I am sure the Minister is aware that the elected President Dilma Rousseff, who was impeached a couple of months ago in a process that has been described by many as a coup, has been replaced by the Vice President Michel Temer who, despite also being engulfed in corruption scandals, has become the acting president and has unleashed a very serious assault on women's rights and workers' rights. Has the Minister had any engagement with the new government of Brazil and does he support the calls of the protesters?
