A special parliamentary committee, which recommended the initiation of the procedure of impeachment, criticizes President Rousseff that used the “illegal manipulation of accounting to hide unauthorized spending government between 2014 and 2015, changing by decree budget assumptions in order to increase debt and borrowing banks public. ” This was spending on programs of social policy of the government center-left Workers Party. As opponents say the head of state had to ensure its re-election in the presidential election in 2014, and also hide the signs of recession in the Brazilian economy.
