Dilma
Rousseff´s impeachment might be seen from different partisan perspectives.
Fine. But my point is a different one. It´s about constitutional processes. And
her trial by the Senate followed the procedures established in the Brazilian
Constitution. The debate was not always serene and had a number of much
undignified moments. Yet, in the end, it was democracy in action through
institutional mechanisms.
On
a different point, let me refer that some of the Senators and other top
political actors might not be an example of probity. There is plenty of
corruption within the party machineries. That should be the next political
challenge for the people of Brazil. If that is tackled with steadiness the poor
citizens, that have been the main support of Dilma and her movement, might become
more inclined to accept the impeachment decision of today. It is therefore time
to speak about launching a laundry political process.
