Dilma Rousseff get's impeached

Brazil’s leftist President Dilma Rousseff suffered a loss in a crucial impeachment vote in the lower house of Congress on Sunday and is almost certain to be forced from office months before the nation hosts the Olympics. The final tally was 367 votes cast in favour of impeachment, versus 137 against, and seven abstentions. The impeachment battle, waged during Brazil’s worst recession since the 1930s, has divided the country of 200-million people more deeply than at any time since the end of its military dictatorship in 1985.
