This R&D provides resources on Brazil’s political intrigue. President Dilma Rousseff is facing an impeachment effort in the midst of swirling allegations of fiscal mismanagement. Furthermore, Rousseff is under fire to replace finance minister Joaquim Levy. Brazil is coping with its worst economic downturn in nearly a century and the nation’s fiscal problems are aggravated by corruption inquiries into major politicians. The Brazilian opposition accuses Rousseff of hiding the liabilities of social programs in the 2014 national budget, which would violate the nation’s fiscal responsibility law.
