		</div><p>Suspended Brazilian president Dilma Rousseff is suggesting she would hold a national referendum if she survives an impeachment trial expected in August.</p>
<p>She said in an interview aired by state-run TV Brasil that Brazilians should be consulted on the future, even if the Senate does not permanently remove her from office.</p>
<p>Such a referendum could lead to a new presidential election.</p>
<p>Ms Rousseff was impeached and suspended May 12. She is accused of using illegal accounting techniques to hide large budget deficits. She has repeatedly denied wrongdoing.</p>
<p>&#8220;Given the level of contradiction among different political actors in this country, it is necessary to appeal to the population,&#8221; the suspended president said.</p>
<p>&#8220;I think it can be some sort of plebiscite. I won&#8217;t give a full menu here, but this is something under intense discussion.&#8221;</p>
<p>Politicians who support neither Ms Rousseff nor acting President Michel Temer have called for new elections to resolve the nation&#8217;s political crisis.</p>
<p>For that to happen, both would have to resign or be removed from office before the end of the year. Otherwise, by law, Congress would choose a new president to serve out the second half of Ms Rousseff&#8217;s four-year term that ends in 2018.</p>
<p>&#8220;Only a popular consultation can wash away and rinse this mess that the Temer administration is,&#8221; Ms Rousseff said.</p>
<p>Allies of the interim president have rejected calls for new elections.</p>
<p>Ms Rousseff&#8217;s suggestion comes as an increasing number of senators say they have not decided how they will vote in the trial.</p>
<p>After just a month in charge, Mr Temer has become as unpopular as Ms Rousseff.</p>
<p>He has been dogged by a series of damaging leaked audio recordings, the abrupt exit of two ministers due to corruption probes, allegations of graft involving other interim officials and criticism after he appointed a Cabinet of all white men.</p>
<p>Even before Mr Temer took office, 58% of the population wanted his impeachment, according to a Datafolha poll in April. At that time 61% wanted Ms Rousseff out too.</p>
<p>Anti-impeachment protests occurred in at least 18 states and Brazil&#8217;s capital Brasilia on Friday, with thousands taking to the streets.</p>
<p>In Sao Paulo demonstrators blocked the city&#8217;s main road, Avenida Paulista.</p>
