First inauguration of Dilma Rousseff told the group responsible for organizing her inauguration that she will not be taking her mother nor her daughter with her at the Silver Wraith. Traditionally, the President-elect parades alongside his spouse, but Rousseff is divorced. Nevertheless, at the inauguration, Rousseff changed her mind and took daughter Paula to parade with her. The news portal G1, which accompanied the rehearsal, anticipated that the inauguration would be "quite a feminine party". Important female figures in Brazil's history were honored with panels spread across the Monumental Axis.

Impeachment of Dilma Rousseff in retaliation. Cunha dismissed that his decision was motivated by personal or political reasons. In his defence, Cunha said that opening the impeachment process was his constitutional duty as chamber president, and the decision to do so was based only on facts related to the budget laws.

Rousseff denied any attempted deal to save Cunha in return
