Brazilian lawmakers are accelerating impeachment proceedings against President Dilma Rousseff as protests resume and legal battles continue over her newly-appointed chief of staff.
The lower house could vote on whether to impeach Rousseff in about a month, speaker Eduardo Cunha told reporters in Brasilia, reducing his previous forecast of 45 days. “If we have quorum during all working days, we can vote in the weeks of April 20 or April 27,” he said.
