President Dilma Rousseff, says that she will stand up to any attempts to remove her from office. Should the Speaker of the Lower House, Eduardo Cunha, decide to open proceedings against her, the impeachment would go to a commission including representatives from all parties before being submitted to a board in the Lower House where a 2/3 majority vote would be required to remove her from office. At a trade union conference alongside former president Lula da Silva, Rousseff accused the opposition of a “soft coup” and said she would fight it. teleSUR
