Dilma Rousseff met on Sunday with Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and will take the former president to the Senate, where will this Monday, August 29, his defense in the procedure which most likely will lead to his conviction and definitive removal from the presidency of Brazil.
According writes the newspaper Estado de Sao Paulo, Lula arrived yesterday afternoon at the presidential palace to meet with the president away. The former president was also included in the list of personalities that will accompany Dilma in the Senate.
Testimony is scheduled for 9:00 Brasilia (13:00 in Lisbon). Dilma will have 30 minutes to make an initial exposure time can be extended. Then the senators will have five minutes to ask your questions. The president does not have a limited time for responses. So far, 47 of the 81 senators are written to ask questions.
The Brazilian president was away on May 13, more than 100 days after the first vote in the Senate and is since then the position to be taken by the interim his “vice” Michel Temer, in the case of Dilma’s conviction, conclude, from the outset, the mandate until the end of 2018.
in this last phase of the process, where the trial is no longer strictly political and became led by President of the Supreme Court (STF) Ricardo Lewandowski, in order to confirm the final conviction – that will lead to loss of mandate renewed in 2014 and ineligibility for eight years – will require 54 of the 81 senators, that is a majority qualified, the judge guilty of the crimes of fiscal responsibility and management in violation of constitutional norms which formed the basis of the complaint received by the Congress of Deputies in mid-April. The president is accused of, the eve of elections in and on since 2015, have painted one public accounts, delaying transfers from the federal treasury for public banks (tax pedaling calls), and published decrees that increased expenditure without the necessary parliamentary authorization and when the budgetary target was no longer being met.
According to the Folha de São Paulo, between Rousseff’s supporters there is no hope that his intervention on Monday to change the trend of the votes, which it is unfavorable. So far, according to the “placard impeachment” the newspaper O Globo, fail to convince only one senator for Dilma to pay for loss of office: 53 have decided to vote in favor of the dismissal and 18 are against. Ten did not respond.
Despite being away from functions, Rousseff still retains the privileged forum and can only be judged by the Supreme Court. If the Senate vote for “impeachment”, lose that status and could be investigated by Judge Sergio Moro, leading to anti-corruption operation Lava jet. Also according to the foliage, obstruction of justice should be the process that follows, which will also involve Lula da Silva due to his controversial appointment to minister of Staff, at a time when his arrest by Moro, on suspicion of corruption, could be imminent.
