Impeachment! On Brazilian Front Page

Folha de S. Paulo, April 18, 2016

Rousseff, who lost a last-minute attempt to halt the vote, "won't stop the fight," attorney general José Eduardo Cardozo commented. "If anybody thinks she's going to bow, they're wrong," Folha de S. Paulo quotes him as saying.

The case now moves on to the Senate, where a vote is expected to take place next month.
