Romero Jucá, Brazil's planning minister, stepped aside after tapes were leaked
in which he appeared to suggest that the impeachment of the president,
Dilma Rousseff, would blunt a ninvestigation into the multibillion-dollar
scandal centered on Petrobras, the state-controlled oil company. Mr Jucá,
one of the targets of the investigation, says his remarks were misinterpreted.
He was only recently appointed by the interim president, Michel Temer.
The new government proposed several reform measures, including
a cap on the growth of public spending.
