Rousseff complains of 'coup mongering'

Impeachment requests scrutinized, including one claiming she altered government accounts

Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said on Tuesday that her opponents are trying to overthrow a democratically elected government by seeking to oust her without any material facts and spreading hatred and intolerance across Latin America's largest country.

Speaking to a gathering of union leaders late on Tuesday, Rousseff said the political opposition is engaged in "deliberate coup mongering" against a "project that has successfully lifted millions of Brazilians out of poverty".
