At UN Paris Agreement On Climate Change Meeting, Brazil’s Rousseff Warns Of ‘Grave’ Political Moment Facing Country

As Brazil’s President Dilma Rousseff faces impeachment, she said Friday her country was in the midst of a “grave” political moment, but that she was confident Brazilians would “prevent any setbacks.”

Rousseff could be removed from office by Brazil’s Senate within weeks as part of an impeachment process that has paralyzed her government. She has called the attempt to oust her an illegal “coup” against a democratic government.
