POLITICS: Disapproval, obstruction & bids to impeach
As discontent with President Dilma Rousseff has continued to grow - with the lower chamber of congress, led by its president, Eduardo Cunha, continuing to pass legislation that conspires against the government’s austerity plans, and the pro-impeachment camp planning to take to the streets on 16 August while orchestrating a manoeuvre in congress to sneak in an impeachment motion - business associations, wary of a downgrade of Brazil’s investment grade rating, have come out in support of a proposal by Vice-President Michel Temer for a multi-party governability pact.
