Brazil’s Rousseff may be dropped as Senate votes on her impeachment 

Published

 A nine-month impeachment process against President Dilma Rousseff by the Brazilian Senate is expected to end as the upper house is expected to sanction her impeachment thereby confirming the country’s shift to the right with the end of 13 years of leftist Workers Party rule.
Reports say Brazil’s Senate is expected to vote on Wednesday to dismiss Rousseff, much so as her supporters seemed resigned to the likelihood that more than two-thirds of the 81-seat Senate would convict her of breaking budget laws.
But Rousseff still insists that her rivals were staging a coup against her as she denied breaking budget rules.
She also declared that future of the country was at stake, vehemently denying allegations against her.
