Ousted President Dilma Rousseff blasts process, talks about future

A person meditates under the cloak of the national flag of Brazil, while watching the live broadcast of the final vote for the impeachment against Brazil's suspended President Dilma Rousseff, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on August 31, 2016.

Hostages to the political system?

"There is little change on the horizon in [the] coalitional presidentialism, and I don't expect a government led by the PMDB to undertake significant political reforms, since the PMDB is the exemplar of a party that has benefited enormously from the current system", Matthew Taylor suggested.

Foreign Minister Jose Serra, who was speaking alongside Temer, denied that Rousseff's removal was hurting Brazil's reputation overseas, adding that the impact of the ambassadors' recalls would be felt by their countries. According to an April report by the Bank of America, the General Social Security Regime, that covers the private-sector workforce and is financed through payroll taxes, revenues from sales taxes and federal transfers that cover shortfalls in the system, constitutes the biggest source of pressure on public spending.

The official says the agreement will benefit sectors accounting for up to 58 percent of Brazil's GDP.

Molefe went on to say having met them and considering them to be nice people does not mean they have "captured" him. Consequently, Eskom requested an extension to provide the information, which was granted by National Treasury.

Rousseff herself appealed to the Supreme Court on Thursday to annul the decision to oust her, a request that is unlikely to succeed.

In his time as interim president, Temer - also suspected of corruption - has pushed privatizations and sales of state assets, ideas that are strongly opposed by the majority of those who voted to give Rousseff a second four-year term in October 2014.

Finally, it said that "the Temer administration's ability to get Congress approval will be a key factor driving Brazil's credit outlook during 2016-18". The move has been condemned by other progressive governments in the region like Ecuador, Bolivia, Cuba, Nicaragua, Venezuela and El Salvador.

Temer was speaking on the sidelines of a business summit in Shanghai, after arriving in China on Friday to attend a G20 leaders' meeting in Hangzhou, his first global event after this week's impeachment of his predecessor. Brazil is a founding member of the "BRICS" group of five major emerging economies.
