ROUSSEFF TO FACE IMPEACHMENT TRIALブラジル大統領が停職

2016年06月16日 | 爺英語

Brazil's Senate has voted to impeach the country's president and suspend her from office. Dilma Rousseff is accused of involvement in manipulating government accounts.
Following a marathon of speeches, 55 senators voted in favor of impeachment and 22 voted against. Since last December, the Brazilian parliament has been debating whether the president should face a trial. Rousseff will remain suspended for up to 180 days. Vice President Michel Temer became the interim president immediately after the vote.
Rousseff addressed her supporters and condemned the impeachment. Rousseff said the crisis is a decisive moment for Brazil's democracy and future as a nation. She said she'll fight with all legal tools available to exercise her mandate until the end of her term.
Observers expect the trial to overlap the Olympics in Rio de Janeiro in August. There is growing concern over how this may adversely affect the Games.
