Brasília – President Dilma Rousseff has accepted Antonio Patriota's resignation from Brazil's Foreign Ministry. He will be succeeded by Brazil's permanent representative at the United Nations (UN), Ambassador Luiz Alberto Figueiredo.

In a press statement, President Dilma announced Patriota's appointment to replace Figueiredo in Brazil's permanent mission to the UN and commended the resigned minister on his work “during more than two years of service” as Brazil's Foreign Minister.

Figueiredo is expected to take office by next Friday (August 30) in time to join President Dilma on her weekend trip to participate in the Union of South American Nations (“Unasur”) Summit in Paramaribo, Surinam, when Paraguay will be readmitted to the bloc.

Patriota's resignation follows a maneuver to secretly remove Bolivian senator Roger Pinto Molina to Brazil from the Brazilian Embassy in La Paz, where he spent nearly 15 months as a refugee.

Molina is a leader of the opposition to the government of President Evo Morales. He applied for political asylum in Brazil pleading political persecution, but was denied safe-conduct to leave his country.

Brazil's chargé d'affairs to Bolivia, Eduardo Saboia, is credited with escorting the senator out of the Embassy. The government in La Paz has demanded explanations, arguing that Molina left the country as a “common criminal” because he is under an arrest warrant and has already been sentenced to one year of imprisonment for “economic damage to the Bolivian state”.
