Brazil: Cunha Widely Criticized for Impeachment Bid Against Rousseff

Eduardo Cunha, speaker of the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies, has been widely criticized by social movements, intellectuals, and lawmakers for his drive to impeach President Dilma Rousseff. Many feel his efforts to impeach Rousseff are revenge for the corruption charges filed against him in the Petrobras scandal. In any event, Rousseff appears to have sufficient support in parliament to block an impeachment. teleSUR
