Suspended Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff said she feels like the"Cinderella" of the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, in an interview published Wednesday in the Spanish newspaper El Mundo.
"Imagine you're going to throw a party, you work on it for years, you set it all up, you place the lights, you call the press, and then on the day of the party someone shows up, takes your place and takes over your party," she said.
"In this story of the Games, I'm the Cinderella. They invite her to the party but she has to leave early, she lives in the ashes," she added.
Brazil's Senate in May suspended Rousseff from office pending impeachment proceedings over charges she manipulated government accounts to obscure the country's economic situation during her 2014 re-election campaign.
