羅塞夫稱:"我將以巴西人民的名義,用盡所有法律方法,履行總統職責,直至2018年12月31日任期結束。"
羅塞夫還表示:"呼籲大家團結起來,和平抗議,讓我們為民主而戰……這將是一場漫長的反政變鬥爭,我們能贏,勝利屬於我們。"
新聞發佈會與會人員對巴西總統表示歡迎,之後羅塞夫在總統府宮牆外繼續發表演講。
巴西聯邦參議院(議會上院)以55票贊成對22票反對通過了總統彈劾案。這就意味著,羅塞夫需停職180天,其職責將由副總統米歇爾•特梅爾代理。
巴西反對黨一直要求議會罷黜總統,對其涉嫌參與稅收違法行為和挪用公款助其競選連任啓動調查。
與此同時,巴西亞馬孫州共產黨參議員凡妮莎•格拉齊奧丁(Vanessa Grazziotin)表示,特梅爾主張回歸新自由主義,即通過降低人民的生活水平來獲取資本。
她說:"他們對巴西人民撒了彌天大謊,給人們一種錯覺,即如果羅塞夫下台,一切會更好,會有新的就業機會,危機會過去,腐敗會得到制止,但事實並非如此。他們只想佔了她的位置,重回新自由政策。"
伯南布哥州參議院勞工黨黨團負責人溫貝托•科斯塔(Humberto Costa)表示,勞工黨將成為特梅爾政府的反對黨,對其政策充耳不聞。科斯塔還表示,投票結果還不能說明迪爾瑪就回不來。
他說:"我們在這段時間也將採取強硬的反對態度,特殊時期可能會持續6個月左右,結果當然可能發生改變,到時迪爾瑪總統就能回來執政了。在此之前形勢會受諸多因素的影響,包括國際和國內經濟危機、臨時政府的成敗,還有街頭巷尾的言論…… 未來6個月會怎樣,會受到很多事情的影響。"
