During Carnival, millions take to the streets in Brazil to forget their woes and party. This past February, however, there were shouts of “Fora Temer!” (Temer out!) — a familiar cry from Brazilians fed up with President Michel Temer’s government, but coming from revelers, it was a sign of just how outraged citizens have become with what they see as a corrupt political system and deep economic woes. Now there are calls to impeach Temer in the wake of reports alleging he arranged for hush money to pay off an associate jailed as part of the Petrobas corruption scandal.
