Ahora, Avenida Paulista de Sao Paulo:
represion de Polica Militar a movilizacion contra el impeachment a @ dilmabr

Many scoundrels/vultures will be dividing the spoils of a dead democracy. What matters is that the number one profiteer of impeachment will be the Goddess of the Market. That also includes Big Business, mainstream media (a monopoly of five families) and of course, Exceptionalistan. Their mandate is clear. The presidency is just a detail.
