Dilma: She fought her way to the top
Ex-revolutionary, cancer survivor, now a President
Last updated on: January 3, 2011 08:26 IST
A former Marxist guerrilla who was tortured and imprisoned during Brazil's long dictatorship has taken over as president of Latin America's biggest nation, a country in the midst of an economic and political rise.
Dilma Rousseff was sworn in as Brazil's first female president on Sunday. The 63-year-old assumed the presidency in Brazil's Congress after a short motorcade ride under steady rain during which she waved to an estimated 70,000 well-wishers lining Brasilia's streets.
She will lead a nation on the rise, a country that will host the 2014 World Cup and that is expected to be the globe's fifth-largest economy by the time it hosts the 2016 Summer Olympics. It has also recently discovered huge oil reserves off its coast.

She casts a pretty large silhouette for a cancer surviving, Marxist guerrilla who has been “tortured” and “imprisoned”. She looks like they had her locked up in the diary cooler. I’m going to have to call bull**** on this one.
diary - dairy. Crap!
She pulled every dirty trick in the book to get to the top including lying.
How can anyone respect someone like her?
birds of a feather....
She’s Lula’s protege/stooge. Brazil is in for more years of cr@p from the left.
She is the Che Guevara that the T-shirt-wearing, dumbass “american” college kids never had a chance to worship and adore. Now they have a second chance.
LMAO ....other end of the cow friend......:o)
I agree with ya....
Have a good nite !
Stay safe !
You too!
