Brazil's opposition parties on Thursday filed a request in Congress to impeach President Dilma Rousseff for breaking fiscal rules by allegedly manipulating government finances to benefit her re-election last year. The request was backed by some members of Rousseff's main political ally, the fractious PMDB party, Brazil's largest, whose votes would be needed to succeed in ousting the president.

    They will never govern by voting ...

    The right is corrupt and aims to accumulate money in order to live in Miami ...

    The United States fully supports the South American right because that is where lies its holding power ...

    If the coup is consummated, we will have a civil war ...

    We'll kill all ...

    1 Brasso,

    “They will never govern by voting ... ”

    Why not - voting is democratic, right?
    You want a democracy, right?

    “Opinion polls show two in three Brazilians want to see Rousseff impeached but it is not clear that the opposition has the political clout to trigger proceedings”

    Brasso,
    Don't you represent the PEOPLE?

    2/3 of the PEOPLE want her out, by legal and democratic means.

    ...and make silly threats....
    “We'll kill all...”

    Who's “We”?????

    @1 Brasileiro
    Not just the right that want to live in Miami.

    Time for Brazilians like you to take responsibility for Brazilian problems, which can only be solved by Brazilians.

    The US is not responsible for all your woes, people like you are.

    You greatly overestimate your importance if you seriously think the Yanks have nothing better to do than try to control S. America.

    Doubt very much if YOU will be doing any killing, whatever happens.

    Probably get beaten up by the local urchins if you set foot on the street.

    Interestingly this story is hardly playing at all in Brazil. The main story is that the Brazilian Supreme Court has outlawed corporate funding of election campaigns.

    If the right wing parties want the power it wins the polls. The date of the new election is in 2018.

    If there is a coup attempt, we will implement one more left regime and will bring all of South America with us. In addition to kill all coup leaders.

    If we find involvement of the United States, we declare war against the United States.

    And the world will collapse...

    If your constitution allows impeachment then that isn't a coup!

    I'd hate to be Dilma's successor in 2018; she's handing him a poisoned chalice that is getting worse by the day.

    Complete tosser Brasshole. Another 5000 workers out of jobs today because of Petrobras. http://riotimesonline.com/brazil-news/rio-business/brazils-petrobras-to-layoff-5000-workers/#
    Because of currency depreciation and extreme debt Petrobras could very well bankrupt the country, prepare for the creditors to pick through the rubble and own what's left or otherwise watch Brazil bankrupt itself trying to hold on to Petrobras. And who to thank, Lula and corrupt PT.
    Lock these people in prison forever for they have stolen the future of a country.
