The impeachment proceedings against President Dilma Rousseff resumed its course on Monday, after the President of the Senate, Renan Calheiros, decided to ignore a surprising decision of the acting president of the Chamber to annul the vote in the house.
Renan Calheiros decided that Dilma’s impeachment process by makeup public accounts – so-called “tax pedaling” – follow the planned course in the Senate, to vote on the removal of Rousseff on Wednesday.
the Senate president said that the cancellation of the vote that approved the impeachment in the House of Representatives in April, adopted earlier on Monday by the interim mayor, Waldir Maranhão, it was a “joke with democracy” and accept it delay the process.
it seems that the plenary of 81 senators will vote on Wednesday to start the impeachment of Rousseff and away from power for up to 180 days while being processed process and comes to a final judgment.
If you are away, as anticipated research and experts, vice President Michel Temer take power temporarily. And if Dilma is finally deprived for two thirds of the Senate, he will rule until the end of his term, in 2018.
With the chairmen of the House and Senate faced, analysts point out that once again it will be up to the Supreme intervene in this new chapter of political soap opera that shakes the country.
the Senate can disregard the annulment of the vote decreed by the President of the House of Representatives? A feature on its nullity has already been rejected on Friday by a minister of the Supreme.
The Advocate General of the Union, José Eduardo Cardozo, insisted on Monday that “the Senate can not prosecute and judge without authorization of the Board “of the deputies.
” If the act is void and proclaimed his nothingness, there is no way to continue the process. the decision now rests with the Supreme Court, “he told AFP professor Constitutional Law of the Catholic University of São Paulo, Luiz Tarcisio Teixeira Ferreira.
the President of the Supreme Court (STF), Ricardo Lewandowski, said the top court “shall give priority to judicial review procedures related to impeachment” in a meeting with the Secretary general of the OAS, Luis Almagro, who assured that the process will respect the law.
“Caution”
These appear to be the final hours of the first woman president Brazil, an ex-guerrilla 68, re-elected by a narrow margin by 2018, which denounced a “parliamentary coup” against it.
“we need to defend democracy, fight against the coup, fighting all this extremely irregular process, “insisted Dilma shortly after learning of Maranhão decision.
” Be careful, we live in an environment mornings and wiles, “he said.
the market and supported the as the interim president of the Chamber: the dollar rose 0.54% and the stock market fell 1.41%
Small demonstrations for and against the impeachment were convened in the City of São Paulo
“neither the House of Representatives or the Senate are able to judge Dilma,” he told AFP Salvia Correia, professor of 60 years who still has hopes that justice “holds” the process. “There is no way that Rousseff output power,” said Victor Pereira, 39
Maranhão. – Who voted against impeachment in April – temporarily assumed the presidency of the House last week, the replace Eduardo Cunha, political enemy of the president.
in an unprecedented measure, Cunha had suspended the mandate by the Supreme for trying to obstruct investigations in corruption scandal at Petrobras, which is involved.
Upon assuming office, Maranhão welcomed the request of the attorney general of the Union and ensured that the session that approved the impeachment by a large majority – 367 votes of 513 deputies – was a pre-trial and an “offense to the wide right of defense” the president.
“for these reasons, anulei the session held on 15, 16 and 17 (April) and determined that a new meeting be held to discuss the matter,” said the deputy in a press release.
He also questioned the fact that MPs have anticipated your vote and limited to Dilma’s defense performance.
“could not parliamentary you before the conclusion of the vote they have publicly announced their vote, as it features prejudgment and clear offense to the full rights of defense that are enshrined in the Constitution. Likewise, could not the defense of the President you have failed to speak last in the vote, as has just occurred. “
But Renan said that” no monocratic decision can override a decision collegial “the House.
the pro-government senators protested against the announcement of the president to proceed with the impeachment process, causing him to temporarily suspend the session so that” could cry in peace. “
within three months of the Olympic Rio Games, Brazil is shaken by the battle of impeachment, an economic recession that bills itself as the worst in a century and a thorough investigation of corruption at Petrobras that puts dozens of politicians and entrepreneurs in the crosshairs of Justice.
President Dilma is not the subject of any investigation or corruption charges. But both his greatest allies, as his staunchest enemies are investigated or accused in the biggest corruption scandal history of Brazil, which deviated from Petrobras billion and gained political pockets PT and allies, and the coffers of their parties
