What one now expects to happen in Brazil, once the honest and capable President Dilma Rousseff has been impeached, is that wherever she goes she will be applauded, and wherever the new President appears he will be met with gestures of disapproval.
This is because the poor, the students, the working class, the pensioners, the lower middle class, the intellectuals and the artists are no fools. They realise that a great injustice has been committed against their President and, more importantly, that their country stands to lose credibility and stability.
The New York Times of April 14 said in an extensive article that Ms Rousseff is something of a rarity among Brazil’s major political figures: she has not been accused of stealing for herself.
