She has accused him of involvement in a “coup”.After Wednesday’s all-night session that lasted more than 20 hours, senators voted by 55 votes to 22 to suspend her and put her on trial for budgetary violations.In her final speech on Thursday afternoon, she again denied the allegations and vowed to fight what she called an “injustice” by all legal means
