Despite claims she “won’t resign for any reason whatsoever,” Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff is facing a political crisis in her country.

The political party holding the majority of seats in Congress, the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB), has pulled out of the coalition government it shared with Rousseff’s Workers’ Party. Is impeachment next on the horizon?

Major protests across the country in March highlighted growing unrest in Brazil towards the political establishment. Ongoing corruption investigations continue to uncover alleged bribery and fraud.

Now, the PMDB is distancing itself from the beleaguered president and her party. However, the head of PMDB said they do not support an impeachment.
