Brazil's crisis a sign of change throughout Latin America

Buenos Aires

BRAZIL has entered a political no man's land after the lower house of Congress voted to impeach President Dilma Rousseff, with hundreds of thousands of people on the streets denouncing her leadership. Yet, amid the uncertainty, realisation is growing across all parties that change has to come, starting with policies to tackle the economic crisis.

Fallout will ripple across the region from the demise of Ms Rousseff and the Workers' Party that has ruled Latin America's heavyweight since 2002. Her immediate successor Michel Temer has told us he favours the road taken by neighbouring Argentina under Mauricio Macri, its new president.
