PSDB should request criminal action against Dilma.
Discouraged by lawyers from the PSDB party who rejected the request to remove President Dilma Rousseff from office, Aécio Neves' party must now propose criminal charges against the government's "fiscal maneuvers" before presenting the impeachment request to Congress; however, this measure is unlikely to move forward since the Attorney General of the Republic, Rodrigo Janot, has already stated that it is impossible to prosecute Dilma for events prior to her current term.
247 – Divided over the impeachment request against President Dilma Rousseff, the PSDB has backed down and is now advocating for criminal action against the government's "fiscal maneuvers" before presenting the impeachment request to Congress, according to the columnist. Vera Magalhães.
The measure is unlikely to move forward since the Attorney General of the Republic, Rodrigo Janot, has already stated that it is impossible to prosecute Dilma for events prior to her current term.
Legal experts from the PSDB party advocated for caution on the part of the party, given the pressure exerted by the PSDB leader in the Chamber of Deputies, Congressman Carlos Sampaio, for the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff.
Besides former minister Miguel Reale Jr., lawyers Ives Gandra Martins and José Eduardo Alckmin say that the legal basis is insufficient to remove the president: “This is an eminently political process. The legal element will count for little in the decision. The PSDB should wait a little longer,” said Gandra Martins; Alckmin follows the same line: “There are already legal elements, but perhaps it would be good to wait a little to see what else emerges” (read closest).
