On the economic side, the Brazilian economy has

and the Stock Exchange Market has suffered through drastic falls. This
year shall be seen Brazil’s economy shrink for the second consecutive
year.
The
government has been trying to tackle the problem by cutting public spending and
implementing austerity policies through the Central Bank.

Lava-Jato, as it is locally known, is a federal investigation into a large corruption
involving state-owned oil company Petrobras, big construction companies, and
the politicians. It has brought to penal by Justice some of the most important
businessmen and the prominent political figures in Brazil.
All parties are at risk–
government and opposition both alike! But
the governing Labor Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores, or PT) has arguably been
hit the hardest so far. Former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is under
scrutiny and President Dilma Rousseff is going to face an impeachment process.
Both leaders are from the PT party. But not only these: The Speaker of the
House, Congressman Eduardo Cunha, from the PMDB party (which is part of the
government coalition) is also facing charges for having undeclared assets
overseas.
