Brazil political crisis escalates: Congress initiates impeachment proceedings against president Rousseff

Thursday, December 3rd 2015 - 08:41 UTC
Full article 96 comments

The speaker of Brazil's lower house of Congress, Eduardo Cunha has announced plans to open impeachment proceedings against President Dilma Rousseff, allegedly on violation of fiscal legislation. In practical terms this means further political upheaval in the months ahead in a country that has been rocked by the steepest recession in 25 years, job losses, and a corruption scheme of planetary proportions in oil giant Petrobras.

    She's going to be too busy saving her ass, to fight Macri over Venzla.

    Timing couldn't be better.

    Maybe CFK will let her hole up at her place? Or there's always the Ecuadorian Embassy....

    I would like to post a comment written by a Brazilian on the request for impecheament which was originally public in Tijolaço.com.br. If I may:

    ”Eu ainda estou tentando entender o que o Cunha tinha na cabeça para acolher um pedido de impeachment logo depois do partido da presidenta dizer que ia votar pela cassação dele. E no mesmo dia em que o governo não apenas aprovou de lavada a mudança no orçamento, ainda conseguiu eliminar dele as pedaladas, o que enfraquece ainda mais o pedido de impeachment.

    Com isso ele comprou briga com toda a base governista, manchou o pedido não apenas com a sujeira que lhe é característica mas também com as cores de uma vingança mesquinha, deixou claro que está usando de seu cargo para se proteger e se vingar de maneira imoral (e talvez ilícita), e impõe à oposição que aderir ao golpe o desgaste moral da cumplicidade tanto com o ato de vingança quanto com aquele que já é visto pelo povo como o político mais sujo do Brasil.

    Além disso, o faz no que pode ser o momento de maior força do governo no congresso, sabendo que uma vitória do governo pode desmoralizar não apenas a sí, mas também à parte golpista da oposição.

    A única explicação que eu posso dar é que o Cunha quis dizer um grande “foda-se” para tanto o governo quanto a oposição pela atual falta de apoio. Ou então ele ainda nutre aquela idéia messiânica de que, autorizando o impeachment, ele vai voltar a ser idolatrado pela oposição e vai ter seus crimes perdoados.“

    Don't worry about the translation of the BRasshole's post at #2. The “Tijolaço” is just a (PT backed) socialist rag, headed by a commie journalist who loves Lula....it is the typical kind of rhetoric you would expect from a bunch of socialists when caught with their hands in the cookie jar ....denial ; the fact that Dilma abused her power in 2014 (and still is, in 2015) by using funds, specifically prohibited by Law for this purpose, i.e., to disguise her government's deficit of R$ 119 billion, plus the fact that the TCU (special court that oversees Government spending) has confirmed her malfeasance, is sufficient legal basis to impeach her...not to mention the tons of evidence that more than 'suggests' that she used bribery money (from PB) to fund her 2010 and 2014 election campaigns. But now it is up to the Lower House to approve the motion to impeach, and if it does, the process goes to the Senate which must decide in 90 days what to do with the stupid woman.

Hate it of not, but for 80% of your nation not to know that or of the USA is not knowing the earth revolves around the sun.

    I was the 1st one to point out aht Bras was Toby.
    He is merely playing a character for attention.
    Not even he believes the stuff he posts.
    He's probably very worried that he won't be able to eat by March when all the subsidies are cut off and there's no jobs.

    It will take a decade after they get rid of the Commies currently running it.
    At least they have an economy that's built on more than just Soy so there's hope for a recovery.
    They need to break up these big Quasi-State companies that are sucking the life out the econmy and the politics. Get rid of the crazy subsidies and stop giving free $ to poor people.
    Until they do that they're doomed.

    I was also the 1st person to point this out a few years ago.

    @22 BRasshole (aquele com merda no lugar do cérebro....)

    Your stats need a bit explaining, since your ignorance has lead you to grossly exagerate (80% ???) ; Speak for yourself, not for the others, asshole !
    You can be sure that the great majority of Brazilians who WORK hard and pay taxes (and don't rely on the Bolsa Família), have either been to the US or nurture the dream of being able to go there one day. Unfortunately, they are in the minority. Those who allege they don't want to go, are just a bunch of liars... then of course, there ARE those who don't even know the US exists, and if even if they did, they are too f*cking lazy to get of their asses and get ahead with their lives. The PT supporters - other than the “intellectual lefties” , those who preach socialism yet live like capitalists AND go to the US & Europe regularly - are mostly from the lower classes, and are either too ignorant or too stupid to know what's going on around them. You BRasshole, are part of this last group, so why don't you pick up your stinky backpack and go visit MadUrina in Venezuela ?

    Rousseff, is absolutely safe from this politically motivated attempted coup. As she has committed no offence “known in law”, as a breach of the Fiscal Responsibility Law requires her to have personally obtained some pecuniary advantage. If she doesn't have enough votes to thwart the process politically, then she can appeal to the Supreme Court. In the mean time, she can release the hounds on Cunha who prima facia, is guilty of such offences.

    The Malvinas were Spanish and were inherited by Argentina. The English pirates expelled the Argentine of the Islands in 1833 and they appropriated by force. And with the use of force deployed to pirates that kept stealing the domain.

    So the Portuguese arrived in a country with no indigenous population ?

    You have particularly blinkered view of your country's history or else you are just thick.

    Prior to the Conquistadors from Spain and the Portuguese theft of the land, there were estimated to be about 50 million indigenous native inhabitants.
    Of course they all spoke Spanish or Portuguese as their native tongue being of the same racial group as their conquerors. That is what you are implying.
    Your lot did a pretty good job of taking over the land and promoting genocide to stabilize your position.
    You are just a colonist like the rest of S.America...in your case a rather ignorant one.

    Or you are foolish or try to make a fool of.

    Are two very different situations of the Islanders and the Argentinians or Brazilians or North-Saxons-Americans.

    When the Portuguese and Spaniards came to America was not a nation state formed in our continent.

    When the Saxons arrived in North America there was no also formed national states.

    When the Saxons stole the Falkland Islands from Argentina in 1833 there was already a national state with its own identity.

    Do you understand or want me to draw?

    Why am I not surprised by this fundamental Latam habit ?

    You still seem to think that the Portuguese came to an uninhabited land and were not colonists.
    How can I explain this

    Portuguese a European people of Iberian descent.

    Sailed across the ATLANTIC to South America and claimed the land by forcibly taking it from the original inhabitants and killing millions in the process.
    They stayed and increased their population by breeding and inviting more settlers.
    At NO time did they offer to give up the land they had stolen and return to Portugal.
    A one word definition of this is COLONISATION.
    So, you are a product of colonisation
    There it's easy to understand when someone spells it out for you !

    I've studied deeply about the fundamentals of Argentina and the British and I am inclined to accept as fact the arguments presented by Argentina.

    So, even though you claim British theories are felled by Spain / Argentina it doesnt actually matter because the Falkland Islands have been occupied by the Islanders since Britain reasserted its sovereignty in 1833 and are not going anywhere.

    Says Terence : “Rousseff, is absolutely safe from this politically motivated attempted coup. As she has committed no offence “known in law”, as a breach of the Fiscal Responsibility Law requires her to have personally obtained some pecuniary advantage.”

    Where did you dig up this shit ?? ”Politically motivated ?” that’s a good one…..and then, “…the Fiscal Responsibility Law requires her to have PERSONALLY obtained some pecuniary advantage ???”
    You are totally wrong......Dilma, as the head of the government that broke the Law of Fiscal Responsibility, as the person who signed off on all the irregular loans from public banks, is responsible, even without any proven (up to now) ‘personal benefit’, other than trying to hide her incompetence. Whether you agree with it or not. The Law is clear. Ironically, IF she gets off the hook, that yes, will be due to politics…..her cronies will just ignore the proof, as presented by the TCU…regarding 2014, AND 2015. She does not have to had benefited personally, and again, if it were proven that she had, she would also be facing ‘other’ charges, not only those of breaking the Law of Fiscal Responsibility.
    But of course, you think you know more about Brazilian Constitutional Law than Miguel Reale Jr. and Helio Bicudo together…two of Brazil’s top jurists, who amongst others, signed the request to impeach......
    When - and IF you bother to reply - don’t forget to entertain us with some more shit from your stupid dicKtionary.

    66 Jack Bauer “The TCU ..it's ruling is.. not legal..binding. ..does not, in fact, establish that a crime has taken place, as some opposition politicians have attempted to claim.” www.telesurtv.net/english/analysis/Brazil-Understanding-the-Latest-Efforts-at-Ousting-Rousseff-20151009-0048.html
    Since their was no theft or fraud or loss of public monies it is not a criminal issue. So it is strictly an interpretation of administrative law, not in fact a breach of the constitution as you have previously claimed.
    Moreover, she could claim reliance on her constitutional prerogative. “SECTION II - Article 84.
    Says Ex-President Cardoso in answer to the question. The opposition has the necessary votes to open impeachment proceedings today?
    “The impeachment depends on you having a convincing argument, not only for Congress, but for the people. Those who wish to impeach haven't built a compelling narrative so far. Take the fiscal ”pedaling“. You can argue, as jurists have done, that there's no way to characterize a crime.”

    “Those that want Rousseff out are involved in scandals themselves .. ... But every Brazilian knows ..that happening to the Speaker of the House, Eduardo Cunha, and the president of the Senate, Renan Calheiros — both new adversaries to the administration. Brazil’s Attorney-General is already investigating both of them. They are playing the chaos game, by blaming PT and the administration for their troubles in Justice.”

    The Law of Fiscal Responsibility basically states that Government, on any level, cannot spend more than it collects (in taxes etc..). Dilma signed several 'unnumbered' Decrees (unnumbered, in order to hamper identification) which authorized her to contract irregular loans from 2 public banks (BBrasil, Cx Econ Federal) to the order of R$ 40 billion in 2014, and according to the TCU, another R$ 30 billion so far, in 2015, to pay for social programmes. This was done with the sole intention of covering the gaping hole left in the 2014 budget due to irresponsible overspending, a fact which she tried to hide (proves intent to fraud) , then denied, and now admits.......which proves she lied....whether the act in itself is considered a breach of Law, which is now up to Congress to decide, she has proved through that alone, not to mention all the other lies she told about the economy doing fine etc, just to get re-elected, make her morally unfit for office. And that does not even consider the fact that all the corruption in Petrobras was at full steam while she was president of PB's Board of Directors, and Minister of Mines & Energy, and she claims she 'knew nothing'....she is either a corrupt liar, or as incompetent as they come....either possibility a very good reason to see the end of her.
    Her permanence in power will simply delay any chance of Brazil getting back on track.

    Moreover, in regard to the constitution she doesn't appear to have been in violation of SECTION IX - ACCOUNTING, FINANCIAL AND BUDGETARY CONTROL; Article 71. External control, incumbent on the National Congress, shall be exercised with the aid of the Federal Court of Accounts,..”. Since there has been no “loss, misplacement...illegal expenses...damages caused to the public treasury;”
    Further, she could claim reliance on her constitutional prerogative. “SECTION II - DUTIES OF THE PRESIDENT OF THE REPUBLIC; Article 84.The President of the Republic shall have the exclusive power to:
    II. exercise, with the assistance of the Ministers of State, the higher management of the federal administration; IV. sanction, promulgate and order the publication of laws, as well as to issue decrees and …“
    So since her behavior in no way reaches the level of criminality i.e. corruption and her governance mirrors exactly that of her predecessors. To make the case of a violation of the Fiscal Responsibility Law her opponents will have to first refute her constitutional preogrative. Secondly, that the legal complaint against her is on ”all four legs”. In other words it must be specific as to what cannot be done, and if proved, what the penalties are within the Act.

    At this point in the Brazilian crisis, which has regally screwed the economy, it becomes almost irrelevant whether Dilma did in fact break the Law or not. The crisis here is not imported as the PT likes to say, it is totally “Made in Brazil”. A long series of wrong decisions, on all levels, starting 10 years ago, has culminated in this now ungovernable country. The fact that Dilma was legally elected has it's merits, but the fact that over 80% of the population now want her out, is just as significant. The fact is that while she, and the PT, insist on remaining in power, Brazil will not move forward. The political mood in Brazil is highly unfavourable towards her, and will be a far stronger factor (than any technical one) in determining her future.
    For the sake of Brazil, the best thing she could do, is to resign.

    Every independent opinion, and there have been numerous that I have cited, blame the malaise on the collapse of the China commodities market. Of course it fine for you to be wise after the event. But, it is noted that other than proffering your bias as an ineffective solution, you have failed to offer any alternative trade model. 'So everyone's a critic' is as far as your economic model has been developed.

    Since you know so much about the causes of Brazil's “malaise”, you should also be aware of the fact that the 'mensalão', which was when people started to realize the magnitude of the institutionalized corruption by the PT and allies, was denounced in 2005.....Now we are watching the demise of Petrobras, thanks to more corruption...by the PT and allies ; While all oil companies are suffering the effects of the oil glut and low prices, it is “strange” that PB is the only large oil company in the world to make a loss, and have such a staggering debt (USD 130 billion).... Dilma, while 'perhaps' not directly involved in the stealing, obviously turned a blind eye to it all ; how can she - in all fairness - claim she knew absolutely nothing about it, despite the fact she was of President of the Board and Minister of Mines & Energy while it was all going on, right under her nose ? To believe her you've got to be very naive. And when did the Chinese market start to collapse ? 2, 3 years ago ? Obviously, the Chinese 'slowing down' aggravated the problem, but by no means was it the cause of Brazil's “malaise”. The cause goes back to 2005.
    As to a solution, I don't profess to be an expert on the subject, but having worked for decades in shipping and foreign trade, it was very clear to me that the consequences of the mistakes made during the course of the last 10 years, with regards to 'trade”, would be disastrous.....and not in hindsight. All based on ideology, not on sound economic policy.....Brazil's distancing itself from the US and Europe while narrowing ties with Venezuela, Cuba, Bolivia and some shitty little dictators in Africa are the cause of dwindling exports. Brazil's partners were already going through their own crises, but the Government preferred to ignore that they were barking up the wrong tree. If you too, prefer to ignore reality, go ahead...Do like the PT did.
