BRAZIL: Impeachment proceedings halted
The momentum to impeach President Dilma Rousseff has been halted, temporarily at least, by a supreme court ruling. Late in the evening of 8 December, Luis Edson Fachin announced that the entire process should be suspended until the full supreme court could rule on the legality of the proceedings thus far on 16 December. While the government will welcome the extra scrutiny the court will now apply to the rapid developments in the federal lower chamber of congress, it will also lament the fact that its hopes of seeing the issue resolved quickly, and in its favour, are fast receding.
