Dilma made Lula chief minister of her cabinet. This way she could shield him from prosecution from Moro, since as a politician he would have special legal status again, and hand off the reins of the government to him on the downlow to try and stabilize the political and economic situation, since unlike her, he's not a complete retard, and still had some pull as a popular leader who was not hated by most of the rest of the government.
Moro however, had Lula's phone bugged, and recorded and leaked a conversation between him and Dilma, in which Dilma says she well send him the minister paperwork "in case he needs it". Her sending him a literal get out of jail free card made the real reasons for the appointment even more obvious, so within a day it was blocked, unblocked and reblocked by a series of judges.
Lula was in a limbo of minister-yet-not-minister with special legal status but not really. Moro was chastised for releasing the phone leaks since there were some questions about the legality of the wiretap. Lula was safe from Moro for now.
Eventually people got around to it and filed a couple of impeachment processes. Dilma was now fighting on two fronts, both with the impeachment process and an investigation on her campaign funds by the electoral tribunal, which could lead to the elections being voided.
Dilma's allied base started abandoning her, including PSDB, one of the biggest parties in the country, and the party of her vice president, Michel Temer (which is married to qt related).
The impeachment process that went forward cited the accounting tricks as the reason for the impeachment, that was pretty tame as far as what she did, but it is what we could make stick.
Our impeachment process has 3 votes: first we need a 2/3 majority in the chamber of deputies to send the impeachment proposal to the senate, this vote passed in the 17th of april with 367 to 137 votes.
The proposal was then sent to the senate, which needed a simple majority vote to start the trial process, this vote was won with 55 to 22 votes. As a result, Dilma was suspended from her duties, and Temer assumed as interim president for up to 6 months or until the trial is over.
We then reach today, day of the final vote. The senate has to decide with a 2/3 majority to impeach Dilma for good or to cancel the whole thing. According to all the speeches given by the senators during the trial, current projections are 59 to 21 votes for the impeachment
Dilma's defense was based on denial, crying about muh soggy knees and denouncing the impeachment as a coup. There were talks about the PT mobilizing their party thugs and slogans being thrown around saying "There will be no coup, there will be fighting". Maduro was also throwing a bitchfit about the whole thing, but I don't think fucking Venezuela is in position to do anything right now. In short, happening is possible, but unlikely.
PT is also pushing for new elections this year, which could be disastrous with the electronic urns (we have a solution for them, but it will only be ready for the 2018 elections) and the dazed masses having to pick a candidate in two months time.
The next few days should be good.
