(BRASILIA, Brazil) — President Dilma Rousseff said Monday she is "indignant" over a congressional vote to open impeachment proceedings against her and vowed to fight what she called the injustice. She again categorically ruled out resigning.

In her first public appearance since the Chamber of Deputies voted 367-137 late Sunday to send the impeachment proceedings to the Senate for a possible trial, Brazil's first female president appeared shaken but delivered a message of defiance.
