Dilma Rousseff leaves for New York taking impeachment battle to global stage
BRAZIL/USA – Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff is travelling to New York to drum up international support for her ongoing domestic battle against impeachment proceedings. While she is away, the power will rest with Vice President Michel Temer, the man she accused of mounting a coup against her government. The trip remained undecided until the final moments owing to the political paralysis in Brazil. But Rousseff has decided to use the two-day tour to repair some of the damage back home. However, the trip is expected to have little or no effect directly on the ongoing impeachment proceedings.(International Business Times UK)…[+]
