IT’S been a year since Brazil’s first female President Dilma Rousseff of the Brazilian Workers’ Party (PT), was removed from office.
The mechanism used to remove her was devious, undemocratic and tantamount to a parliamentary coup that enabled the right wing opposition, who had been defeated at the ballot box, to install Michel Temer as President on a new, right-wing programme.
This illegitimate president has gone on to slash budgets for healthcare, education and social schemes, has scrapped environmental and indigenous protections, and also rolled back workers’ rights.
