The pretext for which this impeachment process has taken place has crumbled. A report by independent auditors on behalf of the Senate concluded that there was no indication of direct or indirect action by Dilma Rousseff to engage in the budgetary malfeasance which was alleged. Neither I nor the Socialist Party are political supporters of Dilma Rousseff. We would be supporters of PSOL and the LSR tendency within PSOL but this is a basic question of people's democratic rights and what is a major assault by the right via undemocratic means to try to impose a very right-wing government. They are now being met, rightly, by massive opposition on the streets and massive mobilisations by people who are calling for a free and fair general election to elect a government that will serve the interests of ordinary people.
