- Brazil's parliament is due to consider the removal of President Dilma Rousseff. A committee of the House of Commons ruled on Monday (local time) that there are grounds to put Rousseff in her office.

The full House of Commons vote expected on Sunday deposition. If two thirds of the MPs for it, must also consider the Senate yet on the issue. The president is under fire because they would have polished the budget figures in 2014 in order not to lose sight of reelection.

The Chief of Staff of the President, Jaques Wagner, said that Rousseff,, perplexed state and is saddened '' by the judgment of the committee. The president denied earlier that she made a mistake and talked about a coup against a democratically elected president.

The government tries according to Wagner enough to get parliamentarians behind him to block the vote in the House of Commons. The Chief of Staff pointed out that only 38 of the 65 members of the committee were behind an impeachment. That's less than the two-thirds majority needed in parliament.

Rousseff lost the last time many political allies. So last month moved its main ally, the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB), the governing coalition.

Vice President Michel Temer meanwhile seems already hot to walk to follow Rousseff. The PMDB politician Monday was embarrassed by a leaked audio message in which he spoke about forming a government after the departure of the President. The recording was inadvertently sent Whatsapp messaging.
