Legislators are gearing up to revive Brazil’s stalled impeachment process as early as this week after millions of people on Sunday demanded the ouster of President Dilma Rousseff.
Lower house speaker Eduardo Cunha said he would call for the creation of a congressional committee tasked with issuing a recommendation on impeachment the day after the Supreme Court issues new guidelines on the process. The top court is expected to make its decision on Wednesday.
