Thousands rally against Brazil’s Dilma Rousseff
‘Tens of thousands of people have attended anti-government rallies across Brazil to protest against the administration of President Dilma Rousseff.
The Sunday protests, which were staged in at least 50 cities across the country, marked the ceremonial 30th anniversary of the end of a brutal dictatorship that lasted over 20 years.
In Brazil’s most-populous city, Sao Paulo, 200,000 people reportedly attended an anti-Rousseff rally, while in the capital, Brasilia, protesters waved flags and held signs reading “Impeach Rousseff!” and “Corruption: How much longer are you going to be here?”
Rousseff (pictured below) is facing criticism over Brazil’s stagnating economy and rising energy costs and a major corruption scandal involving state-controlled oil giant Petrobras.’
