Rio de Janeiro, Sep 4 (efe_epa).- Tens of thousands of Brazilians gathered in downtown Sao Paulo once again Sunday to express their rejection of new President Michel Temer, who was sworn in after Dilma Rousseff was definitively ousted by the Senate for manipulating budget figures to minimize the size of the deficit. But they later allowed the protesters to take to the streets a few hours after the passage of the torch relay. Brazil's deposed president said Friday that she would fight in the courts to reverse the Senate vote two days earlier to remove her from office less than halfway through her term. The now-former president repeatedly pointed out that those budget maneuvers were common practice under previous Brazilian administrations. Temer, Rousseff's former vice president-turned-enemy, was sworn in on Wednesday, just hours after Rousseff's impeachment trial ended with her ouster from office.
