The Workers' Party of the Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff has promised to continue its fight to defend her in the streets and in the senate after the lower house of congress voted for her to be impeached¹. MPs approved the move by the necessary two-thirds majority. The case will now be sent to senate which is expected to suspend the president for 6 months while it carries out a formal impeachment² trial. The BBC's Daniel Gallas is in S?o Paulo. Everyone in her party was still behind her but the thing is that her party is still a small party, minority. There is still a big split in terms of opinions. Some people say that she has just been a victim of a coup³ and that's what she alleges⁴. Other people just said that she has to go and that her government has lost its ability to rule. But in practice, we see that more politicians and people on the streets are now supporting the impeachment that the other way around.
