Updated Thu, May 12th 2016 at 20:07 GMT +3Outgoing Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff speaks after the Brazilian Senate vote to impeach her for breaking budget laws at Planalto Palace in Brasilia, Brazil, May 12, 2016. Speaking shortly before she left Brasilia's Planalto presidential palace, Rousseff told supporters she was notified of her suspension on Thursday morning. Despite her vows to fight, she is unlikely to be acquitted in her trial. Rousseff, a leftist in office since 2011, was replaced by her vice president, centrist Michel Temer, who took over as interim president for the duration of a Senate trial that could take up to six months. "I never imagined that it would be necessary to fight once again against a coup in this country," Rousseff said, in a reference to her youth fighting Brazil's military dictatorship.
