Brazil impeachment: Rousseff attacks cabinet for being all-male and all-white
14 May 2016 Latin America & Caribbean
Brazil's suspended President, Dilma Rousseff, has criticised the new interim government created by her former Vice-President, Michel Temer, for being entirely made up of white male politicians.
It is the first cabinet with no women in Brazil since 1979.
Ms Rousseff said it did not represent the country - one of the world's most ethnically diverse nations.
Her government had seven women among its 31 ministers.
The government's chief-of-staff said they had been unable to find any women for the cabinet.
