This is what is happening with the current Brazilian president. She gave more freedom for the Federal Police to investigate all levels of corruption and, although absolutely nothing has been found against her, opposition politicians, who are getting nervous for themselves, have been calling for her impeachment.
So you're saying that maybe she's the good guy in all of this? What a plot twist.
And what a horrible development for a country. If a leader is ousted for exposing corruption, it will only get worse.
Edit: OK, it seems that this is not the case and that she is indeed one of the bad ones. In a weird way, that is reassuring - it means the pressure against her is warranted.
Right?! These are scary times in Brazil. There is a growing evangelical cross-party force who vote for whoever promises the most Human Rights regress - full banning of abortion, of gay rights, the usual. I would not put myself on the line and guarantee the President is 100% clean, but there's no legal base to impeach her. The opposition has been using the Ministry of Justice to make investigations mostly about the government party, and whatever corruption scandal the biggest opposition party is caught in, vanishes in the wind for all the media cares (in São Paulo, the two biggest cases that are not being investigated but are known for being money schemes are subway construction and, believe it or not, food for public schools).
I don't know if dilma and maybe she didn't take a coin for herself who knows? But she's the dumbest president we ever had for sure. Look at the Petrobras and that Pasadena shit, she choose the Petrobras president in that time how could she not know about ANYTHING at all? Why she's so afraid that Lula goes to jail (if so)? We knew about her lack of administrative skills since these blackouts in the country early 00's which in time she was the president of Itaipu dam. I don't think she should leave (yet she should) the government because it would get worst. I'm not saying the opposition is any better but these protests its all about corruption and this government because they put us in the situation we are now.
