Dilma Rousseff was stripped of the Brazil’s presidency
- Brazil’s Dilma Rousseff was stripped of the country’s presidency in a Senate impeachment vote, ending 13 years of Leftist rule in Latin America’s biggest economy.
- Ms. Rousseff (68) was convicted by 61 of the 81 Senators of illegally manipulating the national budget. The vote, passing the needed two-thirds majority, meant she was immediately removed from office.
- Brazil’s first woman President, holed up in the presidential palace on the outskirts of the capital Brasilia with close aides, was expected to make a statement soon after the vote.
- Her Vice-President-turned-bitter-political-enemy, Michel Temer, was to be sworn as her replacement
- Ms. Rousseff, from the leftist Workers’ Party, is accused of taking illegal state loans to patch budget holes in 2014, masking the country’s problems as it slid into its deepest recession in decades.
