Temer vows Brazil to survive corruption scandal

BRASÍLIA: President Michel Temer insists that a growing corruption scandal in his government will not paralyze Brazil as it struggles to emerge from its deepest recession in history.

“Brazil doesn’t stop,” he said in an interview broadcast Saturday on Spanish television TVE ahead of a visit Monday by Spain’s Prime Minister Mariano Rajoy. “So it won’t be corrupt acts that paralyze the country.”
