Since becoming interim president, Temer has brought in a new government that has moved sharply to the right from Rousseff's leftist platform. "We are alerting the public that these kinds of manifestations are not allowed inside the venues," Rio 2016 organizing committee spokesman Mario Andrada told journalists. RIO DE JANEIRO - Rio Olympics organizers on Sunday threw their weight behind a police crackdown on Brazilians holding up signs in stadiums against unpopular interim president Michel Temer, despite accusations of censorship.

She faces being removed permanently from office just days after the Olympics end, if found guilty of breaking budgetary laws by the Senate.
