in brazil, it is the opposite. the vice president who is now become interim president, about to become president, is not part of the workers party. he has aligned himself with the right-wing party that has continuously lost at the ballot box. their candidates have been rejected. as a result of this impeachment process, the very party and the very ideology that the brazilian people have over and over rejected when asked to vote is now ascending to power. and their agenda of privatization and cutting social programs and keeping taxes low to benefit the oligarchs is now gradually being imposed as is their foreign-policy of moving and from regional alliances becoming once again extremely subservient to the u.s. and a wall street and international capital. so you can call it a coup a debate whether that word applies, but what it is is a complete reversal of democracy in a way that is ushering in an agenda that benefits a small lever of people that the brazilian citizens have never accepted -- in fact, have continuously
