"Our concern is to clarify the untruths that have been said about the Brazilian process [impeachment]. Everything that is going on in the political, president of removal, impeachment trial, is expected within the Constitution, is within the democratic legality," Serra said in an interview with Brazil’s Globo broadcaster.
Five Latin American countries and the Union of South American Nations (UNASUR) sided with Rousseff, while El Salvador and Venezuela recalled their ambassadors from Brazil.
"The tone of the notes corresponds to the falsehoods that are being debated. The greater the falsehoods, the stronger the tone. The smaller, less strong is the tone," Serra stressed.
Rousseff, who called the impeachment process "a coup," has been suspended from office for 180 days, pending trial. Vice President Michel Temer has assumed the presidency during that period.
In two cables marked "Sensitive," Temer relayed his views on party unity and upcoming presidential elections to the US Southern Command in Miami and the US National Security Council, among other recipients, WikiLeaks said.
In interviews with Sputnik on Friday, former CIA officers John Kiriakou and Philip Giraldi stressed that Temer's confidential communications with the United States were "routine" and not intelligence-related.
