As the outcome became clear, Jose Guimarães, the leader of the Workers party in the lower house, conceded defeat with more than 80 votes still to be counted. “The fight is now in the courts, the street and the senate,” he said.

As the crucial 342nd vote was cast for impeachment, the chamber erupted into cheers and Eu sou Brasileiro, the football chant that has become the anthem of the anti-government protest. Opposition cries of “coup, coup,coup” were drowned out. In the midst of the raucous scenes the most impassive figure in the chamber was the architect of the political demolition, Cunha.

Watched by tens of millions at home and in the streets, the vote – which was announced deputy by deputy – saw the conservative opposition comfortably secure its motion to remove the elected head of state less than halfway through her mandate. Just 127 deputies had voted against the move at the time the two-thirds majority was reached.

I would not put too much stock in the Guardian Article- that rag is very left wing.

Even if many politicians from most of the political parties participated, the fact is that Dilmas left wing party nationalized Petrobas the oil company . If the company has been left private, this would have never happened.
