"Anything that makes her (Rousseff) does not reach the end of their mandate is to trample the Brazilian Constitution," Lula said in an interview with Channel Globonews.
The opposition has asked Congress to initiate impeachment towards impeachment against Rousseff by maneuvers that the Government made to disguise its fiscal 2014 results still remain.
According to the opposition, that is a "crime of responsibility" that the Constitution includes among the possible reasons that may lead to the removal of a president.
"I am sure that Dilma will end its mandate and well," said the president, who ruled Brazil between 2003 and 2010.
Lula admitted that the political crisis the country is "intractable" and has not improved after the ministerial reform Rousseff made last month to give more power to the parties in his coalition.
In the opinion predecessor and mentor of Rousseff, the president will be "called" to the leaders of other political parties to reach an "agreement" and end the confrontation between the executive and legislative branches "that lasts for a year."
That confrontation, according to Lula, is the main reason that Congress has not yet approved the proposed by the Government to redress public finances, which are in deficit since last year adjustment package.
Lula attributed the poor economic situation in Brazil the "worsening of the international crisis" and "errors" committed by Rousseff, among which cited maintaining a policy of subsidies to industry in 2014, with the aim of creating jobs.
On the possibility of being a candidate in the presidential elections of 2018, Lula said he was present only in the event that "there is a government project to destroy all" legacy that has made the Workers Party (PT) since joining to power in 2003.
