The sports minister , Orlando Silva was pressured to resign after acusations that he took kickbacks from nongovernamental groups chosen to work on sports events(World Cup and Olyimpic Games). Last week Ms Dilma Rousseff decided to make authority related to the World Cup and Mr. Silva left his role as sports minister because he was accused of corruption, altought, he denied it. He was de fifth minister to leave after being accused of corruption.
Actually, I don't think Mr. Silva should've left before it was really proved that he took kickbacks, because he was someone really important for the development of the World Cup and even because he worked so many years in this role. By the fact that he wasn't the first one leaving because of this acusation, I think it should be proved before he leaves.

the minister of sports can not be accused of something without evidence, and as the author of this news has already said the minister can be very important for the evolution of Brazil and Olympic games may not run the risk of errors.
