Okay go ahead. It doesnt have a clear lever and political mandates. The principal leader of the organization, the main political figure in result is the former president , Founding Member, a Founding Member of the wilson center, another program i laid there. The president has resisted calls by members of his party for impeachment of president dilma rousseff, thing that impeachment is not philosophical thing. Enough to cause. The causes are described in the constitution of brazil. He i think finally was able yesterday to unify the discourse a little bit by calling the governor of sao paulo and has abandoned this idea to try to call for new elections after obtaining the cancellation of the action which was a kind of not a viable opposition from the start.
