The Cuban government "strongly rejects the parliamentary and judicial coup d’état perpetrated against President Dilma Rousseff," according to a statement published Wednesday by Cuba's Ministry of Foreign Relations.
"What happened in Brazil is another expression of the offensive of imperialist forces and the oligarchy against the revolutionary and progressive governments of Latin America and the Caribbean which threatens the peace and stability of nations," the statement said.
Cuba's government said the Senate's vote against Rousseff "is an act of defiance against the sovereign will of the people who voted for her."
The statement also praises the work of the previous left-of-center governments headed by Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff on education, health, social inclusion, creation of jobs and eradication of extreme poverty.
