In a televised address to the nation, Brazil’s new Interim President, Michel Temer, has asked the people to trust his government’s ability to rebuild the economy.
He has named a business-friendly cabinet that includes respected former central bank chief Henrique Meirelles as Finance Minister.
Meanwhile suspended president, Dilma Rousseff, denounced her removal as a “farce” and “sabotage”.
Mr Temer was Ms Rousseff’s vice-president before withdrawing his party’s support in March. She has accused him of involvement in a “coup”.
After Wednesday’s all-night session that lasted more than 20 hours, senators voted by 55 votes to 22 to suspend her and put her on trial for budgetary violations.
In her final speech on Thursday afternoon, she again denied the allegations and vowed to fight what she called an “injustice” by all legal means
