In ‘Operação Impeachment: Dilma Rousseff e o Brasil da Lava Jato’, Fernando Limongi analyses the political-institutional and social crises that led to the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff (2011-2016) and the emergence of the coalition of power that comprised Michel Temer's government (2016-2018). The author traces the processes from Rousseff's candidacy in 2010 to the corruption allegations against Temer, who took over the presidency after the impeachment in May 2016. The use of secondary sources plays the role of describing, linking and analysing the events central to the impeachment narrative and the situation following Rousseff's impeachment. The facts are narrated in five main chapters, dividing them between the central players in the impeachment narrative: President Dilma Rousseff, the opposition coordinated by the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB) and the social movements, the president of the Chamber of Deputies Eduardo Cunha, President Michel Temer and the judges who led Operation Car Wash from Brasilia to Curitiba.
