Brazil’s Dilma Rousseff Continue to be the President Decided Today

Impeachment against Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseffis scheduled to be taken up today.

The government has asked the Supreme Court to suspend the impeachment process for alleged irregularities.

However, similar attempts have been rejected by the court.

In the meantime Dilma Rousseffi’s supporters have set up burning barricades and blocked roads across the country in protest against moves to impeach her.

The roadblocks have caused widespread disruption in all Brazilian states.

The Senate is due to vote on the impeachment today 11 May 2016. A simple majority in favour of a full trial will suspend Ms Rousseff for up to 180 days.
