Geisel Suspends Brazil Congress Over Judicial Reform
President Geisel invoked emergency powers to suspend Congress indefinitely after a congressional defeat on a constitutional reform. He argued the action to streamline the judiciary preserves the nation’s freedom, while opposition MDB and ARENA lawmakers blamed the move on dictatorship. The United States may reassess ties amid human rights strains and trade disputes. The army-backed government has ruled since 1964.
