Chaos Brazil, allies leave the government

Brazil increasingly in crisis. In addition to the economic meltdown, Col Country officially entered into recession, the political situation is also precipitating, experiencing the period of greatest difficulty for 30 years now: the consensus for President Dilma Rousseff has collapsed below 10% and her government is falling apart.

Il Party of the Brazilian Democratic Movement (Pmdb, Partido do Movimento Democratico Brasileiro) in fact voted by acclamation to leave the coalition that supports the executive led by Dilma, now increasingly in the balance. The national leadership of the party led by the country's vice president, Michel Temer, who could succeed Dilma Rousseff in the presidency in the event of no confidence in the latter by Parliament, has decided "to leave the government immediately", asking its ministers to resign.

A decision that seemed almost obvious. In the last few hours, its top exponents had already indicated that the break was in fact definitive. “It will be an exit summit, a farewell to the government. According to our calculation, the vote to leave the executive will be more than 80 per cent - indicated the Pmdb parliamentarian, Osmar Terra -. A series of dominoes have fallen and there is no turning back. The government continues to try, to offer jobs, but no one believes it anymore".

The crisis worsened after that Rousseff appointed former president Lula as Minister of the Civil House (in office from 2003 to 2011). An initiative that backfired, however, as a judge published a wiretap from which it emerges that the appointment - which would have guaranteed Lula immunity - intended to save the former president from arrest for money laundering in the Petrobras scandal. However, Lula continues to declare his non-involvement.
