Resumen
La dimisión forzada de Dilma Rousseff ha provocado un seísmo institucional cuya profundidad y consecuencias precisan una evaluación reflexiva. Este hecho –la remoción efectiva de la ya expresidenta– se ha llevado a cabo utilizando el mecanismo de exigencia de responsabilidad característico del sistema presidencialista: el impeachment. El presente artículo evalúa –utilizando un enfoque interdisciplinario de ciencia política y derecho– si eran suficientes los motivos esgrimidos para deponer a la presidenta o si, por el contrario, se está ante un atentado contra el mandato soberano del cuerpo electoral que ha supuesto la remoción ilegal de una presidenta elegida por 54 millones de ciudadanos. The involuntary resignation of the first women elected president in Brazil have had negative consequences for the desirable institutional strengthening of the brazilian democracy in such a profound way that needs a reflexive evaluation. This issue – the real overthrowing of the former president – is have been made by using the main responsibility mechanism established in the presidentialism system: the impeachment. The current article defines – by taking into consideration an interdisciplinary method founded on the Political Science as well as the Law science – if there were enough reason for the deposition of the prime minister or, on the contrary, it has meant a violation of the sovereign mandate given by the electorate, supposing the illegitimate removal of a president elected by fifty-four million citizens.
