Brasilia, July 20 (XINHUA-RHC)-- Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff says there is no space for "anti-democratic adventures" in the sub-regional bloc MERCOSUR, the Common Market of the South. She made the remarks at the 48th MERCOSUR Summit held in Brasilia, where she passed the bloc's presidency to Paraguay after holding the position for six months.

Rousseff praised the realization of periodic elections in MERCOSUR member States and said the member countries must persist in their democratic ways.

"The periodic elections demonstrate the ability to deal with political differences through dialogue, respect to institutions and popular participation. We must persist in this path and avoid attitudes which incite violence. There is no space for anti-democratic adventures in South America and in our region," she said.

The speech was regarded as her latest statement in allusion to what she calls a certain proclivity for coups among the opposition and parts of the Brazilian society.
