"The impeachment is approved: is this the swan song for Dilma?"
After a long stalemate in Brazilian politics, Dilma Rousseff is definitely out of office. The senate voted largely for her destitution (61 X 20).
However, when everybody thought that Dilma's political "burial" was materialized, the Brazilian politicians surprised us with another political manoeuvre. Violating the Constitution politicians decided to make a separate vote about wether or not Dilma should mantain her political rights. And guess what? This time Dilma wins.
Thus, current situation besides being bizarre might be awkward for Temer winning legitimacy among the population. It also opens a dangerous precedent which can favour the politicians who find themselves engaged in court processes.
