Dilma Rousseff on Ouster: This is a Coup That Will Impact Every Democratic Organization in Brazil

Dilma Rousseff  has been removed from office, it what appears to be a coup to many observers. She was accused of being linked to the corruption with Petrobas. However, there is very little evidence that she had extensive involvement. The Worker's Party is clearly being targeted by the ruling class because it favored reforms addressing poverty and racism in Brazil. Venezuela and Ecuador have denounced this removal from office and recalled its ambassadors. There is some form of anti-left movement sweeping across Latin America, which is tilting toward America. Rousseff  has a long history of fighting dictatorship in Brazil. The military regime that ruled from 1964 to 1985 was supported by the United States. Michel Temer is now president and had visited Washington prior to the impeachment proceedings. The Worker's Party made the mistake of making a coalition with evangelical and right-wing figures. The problem with leftist governments in power is that they are willing to negotiate with extremists. A combination of ineffective government and economic recession brought Rousseff's government down, including a right-wing conspiracy. Brazilians will see that their lives will not improve and more discord will increase under a conservative government. This has wider implications across the region. Latin America may find it has to once again confront American and European intrusion both economically and politically.
