A lot of unusual stuff has been going on with the government, from a VP been distant from the president to the president offering positions for receiving support. I believe this president government fall a part by lack of political support, and the opposition received it with open arms.

Then this government actually had some irregularities which have been ignored in other situations, but this time they are using it to process the president, which are going to be judged or not if Senate understand that she didn't commit any crime.

Media here always supported one side only, I don't remember seeing it divided.

The process she is going through is not about corruption, is about fiscal responsibility, some money had to be passed to public banks and the government delayed it to close the balance without showing some financial problems.

And the post says that only 2% would vote for Temer, but forget to tell that the president has a rejection of 70% and Temer is only there because of the president party. I don't believe this is going to be so well, but its complicated to she keep going because the other politicians doesn't support her anymore.
The facts are that the media are opposed to the president and that they are an important factor when we consider the opinion of the people.

It is not a matter of believing, but looking at the facts. Dilma is right when she says that since the beginning of the second term, congress has not done anything good.

And you should know that there is no evidence whatsoever that the president committed the crime that she is accused of. Nothing! not even a single shred of proof that she did anything against the law.

Presidents may not be impeached because other politicians do not like her. A president is choosen by the people to serve the country and the other politicians must respect the wishes of the people.

People who defend Dilma want to bring Petrobras and Lava-Jato operation to tell that there is nothing against Dilma. But the impeachment is not about that. Is about fiscal fraud and there is proof about that.

What about the 70% of rejection ? 70% doesn't approve her, that's is the people you are talking about.

Actually there's evidence, they are not saying that they didn't did the fiscal maneuver, they are saying that other governments did the same and not got impeached.

I agree with your point about the impeachment, it's a political maneuver.

We are stuck with two options (and both are bad):

1) 2 years of stagnation and political fight inside the government

2) 2 years of maybe a recover or a complete disaster

The post also forget to tell that that 54 millions vote for the vice president too, when you vote for president you vote full aware of who is the VP. And people know that if the president is out (death or impachment) the VP takes place, both situation happened before.

Not true. There are leftist magazine, blogs (some of them got gov's money) that support Dilma and PT. There are also colunists on both sides that got space in newspapers.

In TV ok, there are not television hosts or journalists openly in defense of the government or against the impeachment. But I really don't see this "media is always against me" thing.

I would also not ignore the musicians and artists speaking out in favor of the president after getting large cultural grants under Lei Rouanet.
