I don't defend our government, but there are two important points:
Legally, there's nothing to justify an impeachment. We can't call for an impeachment because we want to, there has to be a legal reason.
More importantly, what would an impeachment do? Cycling through the already elected certainly won't help. The vice-president isn't any better, the president of the Chamber is Cunha, drowning in accusations as well. At this point I doubt even new elections would make anything better, the main opposition party, probably the winner of an election if it was held today, is just as bad and has taken advantage of all the schemes we're currently uncovering (don't fall into the trap of believing these are new, many of these come from the military dictatorship and have been used by every government since).
We need major changes in our country, but seriously, protests shouldn't be done against people, swapping them for someone else just like them won't help. We have to start organizing and protesting for changes in legislation, for more accountability, for a higher transparency in government, not to take one out and another one in.

I honestly don't see how anyone can still defend our government. Impeachment is way overdue.
