Brazil's Right-Wing Opposition Seeks to Depose Rousseff

  • 9 years ago
Brazil's conservative opposition continues its drive to impeach President Dilma Rousseff. Taking advantage of her declining popularity, Rouseff's opponents have filed five requests to remove her from office. The ruling Workers' Party sees the impeachment moves as an attempt at a parliamentary coup. In response, Rousseff has reshuffled her cabinet, giving more space to the center-right Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB), part of the government coalition. teleSUR
