Brazilian politics, Peru's presidential run-off, and Colombia's victims law
Jun 2nd 2011, 16:19 by The Economist online
JUST months after becoming Brazil's president, Dilma Rousseff now faces a serious test in cooling off the country's red-hot economy. The current issue of The Economist examines her options and provides some suggestions for how to proceed. It also previews the run-off of Peru's presidential election, reports on the new victims law in Colombia, and looks at the denying of American visas to Jamaican wrongdoers.

I would like to know when The Economist is going to write an article about the law flexibilization to finance world cup projects. This world cup will be the most corrupt one, I have no doubt about it.
