The right-wing hypocrites in Brazil said they were protesting in the streets "against corruption".
Now that Dilma Rousseff, an honest woman, is no longer the president of Brazil, let's see how that "anger against corruption" will work out, since the new president of Brazil started his new government "very well"...
New president Michel Temer just appointed the 22 ministers (all male, not a single woman) of his new cabinet. And guess what? Around one third of the new ministers are men who are being investigated in the so called "Car Wash" (Lava Jato) operation against corruption...
The "Car Wash" operation, coordinated by a federal judge called Sergio Moro (who is suspect of having a political bias in his acts) was used as a pretext for the angry protests "against corruption" in Brazil in the past months, that turned into protests against the government of Dilma Rousseff (who was never accused of direct involvement in that corruption scandal).
Now, new president Michel Temer just appointed nothing less than EIGHT new ministers who are guys being investigated for corruption in that same "Car Wash" operation.
Another great reason for wanting the PT out of power is to make it back to opposition and then such an efficient opposition will be better for the country.
Unfortunately in the government it even does much worse than governments which it criticizes, not always true?

There is a great way of throwing PT away from power: DEFEATING THEM IN ELECTIONS!
Not like this, what's happening here is a coup. Dilma's own vice-president orchestrated an impeachment based on made up irregularities, fiscal irregularities that ALL presidents of Brazil did to, including Michel Temer while signing as the president. Brazil has 27 states, from which 18 current governors did the exact same fiscal moves Dilma - and Temer - did too.
There is no real accusation against Dilma Roussef. The people behind the coup, on the other hand, are almost being arrested in the greatest corruption scandal of our history. And the proves of corruption are incontestable. Switzerland has already detailed several secret bank accounts those people had there for years, used for receiving and distributing money stolen from Petrobras scheme.
This a clear coup to stop criminal investigations.
Is Dilma Roussef a not so good president IN YOUR OPINION? Too bad, be a big boy and live with that for the next 2 years.
Americans lived with Bush, we Brazilians lived with Fernando Henrique Cardoso... Presidents that ended their government with huge unpopularity. There are even a lot of people deeply upset for eight years of a black president in the White House... There will always exist people who like the government and people who dislike. An impeachemnt is something way too serious to take place only because part of the population, even if they are large majority, is unhappy with the government.
