Many in Brazil are angered by Rousseff's performance and want her booted
from office.
A special
impeachment commission concurred Wednesday, recommending that the lower
house of Brazil's congress go ahead with impeachment proceedings against
Rousseff.
Jovair Arantes, the
spokesman for the special impeachment commission, described her actions
as "grave violations" that "constitute a serious deviation from her
official duties in detriment to the interests of the nation and an abuse
of the trust placed in her. Such acts justify the initiation of the
impeachment process."
The political saga continues next Monday when the lower house will vote whether to impeach the president.
