Brazil’s lower house speaker Eduardo Cunha will postpone until next year his decision whether to accept the opposition’s leading impeachment request against President Dilma Rousseff, Congressman Darcisio Perondi said.
Cunha discussed the new timeframe in a talk with lawmakers, said Perondi, a member of the speaker’s PMDB party. Cunha’s press office didn’t immediately respond to a call and text message seeking comment.
