BRASILIA (Reuters) - The president of Brazil's Senate, Renan Calheiros, said on Monday that impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff was not a priority and warned that seeking her removal in Congress would "set the country on fire."
Calheiros spoke to reporters after meeting with Finance Minister Joaquim Levy to discuss the government's fiscal austerity plan. He promised to bring to the vote this week a bill that rolls back payroll tax breaks.
