Brasilia – Following charges of misuse of public funds in contracts with NGOs and a series of embarrassing verbal missteps, the minister of Labor (“Trabalho e Emprego”), Carlos Lupi, resigned last weekend. In a note, Lupi complained of “political and personal persecution by the media.”

Carlos Lupi is the seventh member of the Dilma Rousseff administration to resign since June. He is the sixth to leave after charges of corruption.
