In his first speech before the United Nations General Assembly, Brazil’s new president, Michel Temer, defended on Tuesday the contentious impeachment proceedings that ousted his predecessor, Dilma Rousseff, and placed him in power.
“Everything happened with absolute respect for the constitutional order,” said Mr. Temer, 75, a career politician who recently emerged victorious from a power struggle that consumed the country’s political establishment. He called the impeachment process, which Ms. Rousseff claimed was an illegitimate usurpation of power, “an example for the world.”
Mr. Temer also praised Brazil’s diversity in the speech, without touching on the criticism he received for naming an all-white cabinet in a country where more than half the population defines itself as black or mixed-race. He spoke positively about recent political shifts in Latin America, including the thawing of ties between the United States and Cuba and the deal between Colombia’s government and the country’s largest rebel group to end the longest-running war in the Americas.
“Temer’s main objective is to put the impeachment issue behind him and start with a clean slate in the international arena,” said Geraldo Zahran, a professor of international relations at the Pontifical Catholic University of São Paulo.
Turning to Brazil’s profile on the global stage, which had grown less prominent under Ms. Rousseff, Mr. Temer spoke about Brazil’s longstanding efforts to strengthen commercial and diplomatic ties with African countries. He said that he was looking forward to hosting a summit meeting of Portuguese-speaking countries, six of which are African.
“Brazil looks to Africa with friendship and respect, with the aim of advancing projects that bring us even closer together,” Mr. Temer said.
Mr. Temer also emphasized that Brazil had opened its doors to refugees. His comments came a day after Brazilian human rights groups blasted him for claiming that Brazil has received more than 95,000 refugees when official statistics place the number of refugees in the country at about 8,800.
Government officials explained that Mr. Temer had included in his figures tens of thousands of Haitians who have made their way to Brazil on humanitarian visas.
Brazilian analysts noted that Mr. Temer’s positions on various international issues, including his support for a two-state solution for the Israel-Palestinian conflict, his condemnation of xenophobic policies and his call to end the United States’ trade embargo against Cuba, stand in contrast to views held by conservative politicians like Donald J. Trump, the Republican nominee in the United States.
“This might shock some on the left in Brazil who consider Temer to be on the extreme right,” said Guga Chacra, a prominent Brazilian journalist and political commentator based in New York. “Temer was multicultural and globalist in his U.N. speech, like Obama.”
Mr. Temer notably did not make anticorruption measures a priority in his speech, despite the huge graft scandals upending Brazil over the last two years. While Mr. Temer is in New York this week, his allies in Congress tried to hold a vote on a bill that would grant amnesty to politicians engulfed in scandals over illegal campaign financing.
Mr. Temer’s administration, which took power in May, has come under fire over testimony and secret recordings that have revealed ambitions to stifle corruption inquiries. Mr. Temer himself has been found guilty of violating campaign finance limits, a conviction that could make him ineligible to run for office for eight years.
