Dilma Rousseff: "no grounds for impeachment"

Brazilian president tells foreign media she is the innocent victim of a ‘coup’ and will only leave office if voted out by the electorate. 

Katehon experts commentary:

Despite political setbacks for Rousseff in recent years, her removal from the post of the president through impeachment is by and large not beneficial for the country. Brazil has launched a number of long-term processes including cooperation within BRICS. They do not yield quick results, but they may be of strategic importance to the future of Brazil.

Another important upcoming event will be the Summer Olympic Games in 2016 in Rio de Janeiro. In addition to the role of Brazil in organizing it and the economic impact of the games, these will be the first Olympic Games in history to be held in Latin America.

The only beneficiaries of the Brazilian crisis are the United States and supranational instruments such as the World Bank and the IMF, as they are seeking to immediately take advantage of the situation and penetrate the country with their programs.
