Abstract

Victim of a parliamentary and media coup, on August 31, 2016, President Dilma Rousseff, the first woman elected as head of state in Brazil, was unfairly removed from her position. At that moment, the Senate was composed of the most conservative group since the Military Dictatorship, in which the deep bond of most of its members with ruralist sectors, with the military power and with religious fundamentalism stood out.
Under the leadership of Eduardo Cunha, who presided over the Chamber of Deputies, the president was criminalized based on a process without ballast and that has no legal basis. The so-called “fiscal pedaling”, which was already practiced and authorized in the economic field, in the Dilma government was read as a “crime of responsibility”. Cunha's suitability and the impartiality of the Federal Supreme Court in handling the case are so questionable that, two months later, Cunha was arrested for Operation Lava Jato.
