Brazilian President, Dilma Rousseff, mentioned in a strongly worded statement issued on Monday that Canada shall explain a media report alleging that it spied on the Brazilian mines and energy ministry, while adding at the same time that the United States and its allies shall immediately stop spying over the Internet.
Astonishing allegations were made in a report endorsed by Brazilian television on Sunday, which stated that Canada’s electronic eavesdropping agency targeted the Brazilian ministry overseeing the South American nation’s vast mineral and oil resources. The report cited sources from documents leaked by former U.S. National Security Agency contractor, Edward Snowden. Brazilian President mentioned in a Twitter message that the country “will demand explanations from Canada,” because many Canadian companies are operating in Brazil’s mining industry, and the spying could be a clear case of industrial espionage. Rousseff also added that “the United States and its allies must immediately stop their spying activity once and for all.”
Even though the report broadcasted on Sunday by TV Globo did not give any direct evidence to support its claim that strategic data was intercepted, it follows earlier disclosures by the network that the NSA spied on the emails and phone calls of Rousseff herself. The network has previously reported that the NSA also hacked into the computers of Brazil’s state-run oil company Petrobras. In reaction to the recent espionage reports, Rousseff has officially canceled her state visit to Washington this month, which was to commemorate the improvement in ties with the United States since she took office in 2011.
