Brazil: Despite Major Setbacks, Rousseff Firmly at the Helm
- 9 years ago
Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff is holding her ground against attempts by the right-wing opposition to impeach her. This is despite two adverse court decisions this week on government financial accounting practices and irregularities in her 2014 reelection campaign and her inability to obtain sufficient votes in congress to prevent the opposition from overriding her veto. Rousseff has reshuffled her cabinet to face the situation and strengthen the government coalition. teleSUR
