The Brazilian government is not interested in investigating the NSA (National Security Agency) and, for this reason, it will not grant asylum to Edward Snowden, who denounced U.S. government spying, in an information exchange that would meet this goal. Folha revealed today Snowden intention to collaborate with investigations about the NSA and, in return, be granted asylum in Brazil. The newspaper published the full text of the "Open Letter to the People of Brazil" that the former U.S. spy wrote and will send to Brazilian authorities. According to Folha's investigation, the Foreign Ministry highlights as "positive" part of the letter in which Snowden calls for a mobilization in defense of privacy and basic human rights, which might be at risk because of actions such as the ones made by the NSA . On the other hand, the Foreign Ministry stressed that Brazil respects the sovereignty of other countries and it does not intend to "payback" the United States. A presidential aide stressed that the Brazilian government could not enter this type of exchanging game, to grant asylum in order to receive information to investigate the actions of the U.S. spy agency. |
