brasilolimpico Posted June 24, 2016 Report Share Posted June 24, 2016 I'm from parana. This Gleisi Hoffmann is the Workers Party, the same as Lula and Dilma and was elected senator in my state in 2010. It is recognized as one of the greatest defenders of Dilma. Well, besides all that the media has been reporting, I do not know how she does it in Paraná, one of the most contrary to the Workers' Party states, he tried to be governor of the state, but was in 3rd place in 2014, through the liberal candidate, Beto Richa and former governor Requiao, who finished 2nd. The Workers' Party, without Lula does not have a strong name to run for president. Lula himself has 57% rejection among Brazilians, according to a survey by Datafolha in March. The Workers' Party has a big challenge ahead. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cauê Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 FROM 'THE INTERCEPT'Dilma’s impeachment was a Farce It’s a bit difficult to justify the removal of democratically elected President by citing corruption, when far more serious corruption scandals are engulfing the person eager to replace her along with his closest associates. But that has been the sham at the heart of this anti-democratic process from the start. As Slate‘s Franklin Foer put it in a long article on Brazil yesterday: “Dilma’s impeachment was a farce, if only for the fact that her accusers have benefited from graft on a mind-bending scale and ginned up the spectacle to distract from their own misdeeds.” https://theintercept.com/2016/08/09/as-temer-weakens-sanders-denounces-brazils-impeachment-as-undemocratic-calls-for-new-elections/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FAAN Posted August 12, 2016 Report Share Posted August 12, 2016 From 2 days ago Brazil's Senate indicts Rousseff, opens impeachment trial Brazil's Senate voted overwhelmingly on Wednesday to indict President Dilma Rousseff on charges of breaking budget laws and to begin an impeachment trial that is expected to oust her from office and end 13 years of rule by the Workers Party. With the eyes of the world on the Olympic Games in Rio de Janeiro, senators in the capital Brasilia voted 59-21 against the suspended leftist leader in a raucous, 16-hour session that began on Tuesday. Her opponents mustered five votes more than they will need to convict Rousseff at the end of the month, allowing interim President Michel Temer to serve the rest of her term through 2018. The result showed Rousseff had even less support in the Senate since the 55-22 vote to suspend her on May 12. She is charged with manipulating government accounts and spending without congressional approval, which her opponents say helped her win re-election in 2014. Wednesday's vote will strengthen Temer's hand as he tries to plug Brazil's fiscal crisis. Critics have blamed Rousseff for an economic recession that could be the country's worst since the 1930s.
