In Brazil, President Dilma Rousseff has suffered a major setback amid the country’s worst political crisis in more than two decades. Rousseff’s opponents are attempting to impeach her on corruption charges, but Rousseff has said the attempts are an undemocratic bid by her right-wing opposition to oust her from power. On Tuesday, Brazil’s largest political party said it was leaving Rousseff’s governing coalition. The Brazilian Democratic Movement Party has several ministers in Rousseff’s Cabinet and 68 members in the lower house of Congress. The vote paves the way for more party members to side with attempts to impeach Rousseff next month.
