The Brazilian Lower House of Parliament voted in favour of President Dilma Roussef’s impeachment with 367 in favour of the motion, 137 against it, while a handful abstained, Sunday. The motion will next go to the country’s Senate, and if the the motion passes there Russef will have to step down for 180 day and defend herself in a trial. Amid scuffles and a lot of tension, Jose Guimaraes, leader of the Workers’ Party, which has been in power in Brazil for 13 years,  admitted that his party would have to fight the impeachment in the Senate. If Roussef is defeated in the Senate, the vice-president and leader of the Democratic party Michel Temer will replace her as President of the country. Roussef is facing accusations regarding her involvement in a scandal centred around the country’s state-owned Petrobras, where people of her circle have been implicated.
