Brazil: Rousseff slams Temer's 'anti-woman, anti-black, anti-LGBT' govt. in Sao Paulo

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff spoke at the "Women with Dilma in Defence of Democracy" event in Sao Paulo on Friday, hitting out at acting President Michel Temer's government and their right-wing, pro-business policies.
Dilma criticised what she perceived to be the privatisation process of the acting government, stating that the Temer government “want to sell Brazil's goods, and they are walking fast in that direction. They have a plan to privatise and sell our patrimony and our passports very cheaply for the future, like the oil."
She also highlighted the government's lack of diversity, stating "they are against women, against black people against LGBT, and against all those who don't pray for their BBB (Ball, Bull and Bible) lobby."
On May 12, the Senate voted 55 to 22 in favour of impeaching Brazil's first female president, who was suspended for up to six months while a committee investigates whether she broke the country's budget laws ahead of her re-election in 2014.
Rousseff and her sympathisers have repeatedly called the impeachment process an orchestrated coup by Brazil’s right-wing, describing the investigation as ‘a farce’. Speaker of the lower house of Brazilian Congress Eduardo Cunha, one of the most instrumental law makers in pushing for Rousseff’s impeachment, was recently resigned forced to resign as he faces charges for allegedly accepting up to $40 million (€ 36 million) in bribes.
