The speaker of Brazil’s lower house of Congress, Eduardo Cunha, will announce his break with the government of President Dilma Rousseff on Friday, according to Brazilian media.
Cunha told Reuters he will hold a press conference at 11 a.m. (1400 GMT). It follows his statement on Thursday that he is weighing legal arguments to impeach Rousseff.
In reporting the impending political announcement, newspapers Folha de S.Paulo and O Estado de S.Paulo and magazines Epoca and Veja said Cunha accuses the Rousseff administration and prosecutor general Rodrigo Janot of conspiring together to incriminate him in the burgeoning corruption scandal at state-run Petrobras.
