The Union of South American Nations (UNASUR for its acronym in Spanish) has expressed concern, in a statement, about legal security in Brazil and the region, in the wake of a decision to move forward with the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff.

The Commission of the Chamber of Deputies of Brazil decided yesterday to impeach the President despite the fact that, according to UNASUR, there is no evidence incriminating the president personally and directly in the perpetration of a crime.
