BRASILIA, May 20 (Xinhua) -- Brazil's suspended President Dilma Rousseff said Friday that the interim government is causing "enormous damage" to the country's social safety system.

In an interview with Web users on Facebook, Rousseff, accompanied by former Social Welfare Minister Carlos Gabas, criticized the measures of Michel Temer's interim government.

Rousseff said Temer's government has caused enormous damage to the country's social security system. "They got rid of the Social Welfare Ministry. This is absurd. It is part of the heritage of Brazilian workers."

In his first week in office after Rousseff was temporarily suspended from her duties, Temer has merged the Social Welfare Ministry with the Finance Ministry.
