Before being questioned, Dilma made a 46-minute speech. She said “never” would resign and that is the target of a “coup”. Here’s the full text of the speech.
Interrogation
Senator Katia Abreu (PMDB-TO) was the first to address the president away. Former Minister of Agriculture Dilma, she is a leading advocate of the PT in the Senate, despite being affiliated with the PMDB, the party chairman in office, Michel Temer. Katia Abreu did not ask Rousseff, took the time to defend the mandate of the PT and praise his performance in the agriculture sector.
The Rapporteur of the impeachment proceedings in the Senate, Senator Antonio Anastasia (PSDB-MG) it was the fifth question Dilma. Favorable to the final departure from the PT, Anastasia asked about the decrees that release additional funds. Rousseff said disagrees with the assessment of senator that the Constitution prohibits the opening of these credits. According to her, the law gives Congress the possibility of creating a law that deals with this action and there is already a law that does this – the Annual Budget Law. “We open additional credits because the LOA 2015 thus authorized.”
Here are the questions asked by all the senators and the answers given by Dilma.

Aécio Neves
in the back of the range, the first senator to question Dilma was Aécio Neves (PSDB-MG), presidential candidate defeated by PT in 2014. Aécio said Rousseff won the election of 2014, “lacking the truth and committing illegalities.” When answering, Dilma said that soon after the election, there were attempts to destabilize the government and mentioned actions of the PSDB.
“From following my election day, a number of policy measures to destabilize my government have been taken, “the president away. A few days after the election result, the PSDB entered the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) with a request for audit to verify the fairness of the presidential election. The party also asked the TSE electronic voting data to make an audit of the voting systems.
Aécio said Dilma “uses the votes he received as justification for acts taken” in office and are questioned now. And asked “what dimension” she feels responsible for the Brazilian recession for 12 million unemployed and the average loss of 5% of the income of workers.
Dilma took the answer to criticize what he called the possibility of “indirect election” as president through the impeachment process.
“I respect the direct vote in this country, I think the direct vote is a great achievement. I prefer the noise of the streets, electoral disputes, the electoral disputes, and therefore respect all those who applied. Now, do not respect indirect election impeachment product without crime of responsibility. that I can not respect, “he said.
Plebiscito
When responding to a question by Senator Vanessa Grazziotin (PCdoB-AM), Dilma again defended the holding of a referendum to consult the public about the anticipation of the presidential elections.
This proposal had already been presented by the president away for about two weeks when she released a letter in which he said support the consultation, case resume office after impeachment. However, Rousseff has not addressed the issue in his opening speech of the session of the second.
“I argue that today an agreement can not be over, but will need to be a pact tissue by the Brazilian population. That it is called to position itself in relation to elections and political reform, because I consider absolutely difficult for all presidents, not just for me but for all to come in the future governance when the country has 35 parties, “Rousseff .
Reviews the ceiling expenses
the President also took away his speech at the session for criticizing economic measures proposed by the incumbent president, Michel Temer. The main Dilma target was creating a ceiling for public spending which, if approved by Congress, will limit the growth of expenditure from one year to the inflation rate in the previous year, for a period of 20 years.
“it’s prevent, for 20 years, children and young people have access to schools; that for 20 years, people can have better health care; that for 20 years, families can dream of home ownership, “he said. Rousseff also criticized the chairman for wanting to put into practice a different economic policy from that proposed by his campaign in the 2014 elections.
On Monday night, the Presidential Palace issued a statement in which states that the government acting president, Michel Temer, will not reduce social, social security and labor rights.
the Secretariat of the Presidency Communication reported that the note is a response to ‘attacks’ of senators and away President to government fear during the impeachment trial session.
Before that, the President of the Supreme Court (STF), Minister Ricardo Lewandowski, asked Dilma she did not make mention of fear government in answers to questions asked by senators. The intervention came after Senator Gleisi Hoffmann (PT-PR), 22th to manifest, asked removed president if you can “continue the important investments for the country” if Congress approves the proposed ceiling of expenditures.
even before Dilma responded, Lewandowski took the floor: “Madam president, I return the floor to your Excellency, and I just ask your Excellency to gird their responses to his government, not the interim government, please.” The President of the Supreme Court, however, did not explain why he made the request to the President away.
Dialogue with Congress
The president asked away “excuses” for lack of dialogue with parliamentarians during his government – appointed with one of the main factors that allowed the advancement of his impeachment trial in Congress. While occupying the presidency, Dilma was often criticized by senators and deputies because of the shortage of audiences granted to parliamentarians.
The apology came after question from Senator Eduardo Amorim (PSC-CE). According to the President, the dialogue is important, but the lack of it can not be grounds for a conviction for a crime committed.
“I think that if missed dialogue, can tell you that, despite that the lack of dialogue can not be alleged as criminal liability under Brazilian law, it may indeed be alleged as a need for a president who has to make to the Congress a systematic and qualified dialogue “, said Dilma.
then he apologized. “Senator [Amorim], you receive my apologies for not having met their expectations for the dialogue. It is something that I have clarity, it is important that it is done. I repeat, is no basis for any liability crime,” he continued .
around 18h, Lewandowski again interrupted the session for dinner. Senators allies away President took the opportunity to record videos with slogans like “Outside, Temer” and “Dilma, the warrior of the Brazilian homeland” in the Senate.
Eduardo Cunha
Dilma again accused the former mayor, deputy away Eduardo Cunha (PMDB-RJ), to work for the impeachment. Rousseff called “retaliation” to Cunha’s decision to accept the application process for opening against it. This happened, he said, because the Plateau and the PT refused to support the filing of the impeachment process against the PMDB, open the Ethics Council of the Chamber.
“Everyone knows that this process of impeachment has been opened by explicit blackmail of former mayor, Eduardo Cunha, as has come to recognize in a press statement of the own whistleblowers. he demanded that Parliament intercede for my party MPs not to vote for the opening of his impeachment process. I never accepted the my life threat or blackmail. If you did not before, would not the president’s condition. “
Cunha released a statement on Monday night to say that removed President” mind “in his testimony to Senate when he says he did blackmail.
“my opening act of impeachment was confirmed by a vote in the special committee of impeachment on the House by 367 votes, and already confirmed in four votes in Federal Senate, “Cunha said in the note.
Fear and the PMDB
Dilma said Michel Temer was chosen as his running mate in the 2010 elections and 2014 for it and its allies believed that “it represented what was best in the PMDB.”
“congressman Michel Temer was chosen because we assumed it was a member of progressive democratic center transformer. So it was chosen. I do not know when this began to change, “he said when replying to Senator questioning Cristovam Buarque (PPS-DF).
About the qualities he saw in Temer, she said she admired the role that the PMDB exercised in democracy occupying a position of “progressive democratic center”.
But then he said that during his second term, part of the party has changed.
“When the democratic center ceases to be progressive and passes to be center-conspirator and coup. This process has a leader. I believe Michel Temer is supporting. The [deputy away] Eduardo Cunha was the leader, I have no doubt that, “he said.
