Tuesday, 15 December 2015. More than one hundred of the major cities of Brazil saw their streets flooded by a sea of people last Sunday, who protested demanding the dismissal of Dilma Rousseff; before a political judgment with a view to her dismissal.
These protests were convened by outside social groups from political parties such as “Ven a Rua” (go out to the street), and the “Movimiento Brasil Livre” (Free Brazil Movement). But this did not stop that some people with political positions made an appearance, for example, the right-wing deputy Jair Bolsonaro, approached to demand an end to the Government of Rousseff.
The city where it was reported the largest influx of people was the capital of the country, Brasilia; with more than five thousand protestants clothed in yellow, one of its characteristic colors. They gathered in front of the Congress with large banners that had written as slogans “Fora Dilma”, which translated into English means “Get out Dilma”.
In Rio de Janeiro, meanwhile, the protests took places in the beach of Copacabana, where trucks were presented that were equipped with speakers and posters requesting the end of the mandate of Rousseff.
In Sao Paulo, the protest was accompanied by two large inflatable dolls, one of them represented Rousseff masked as a bandit; the second, represented the former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva clothing as convict.
On the other hand, in one of the cities that supported the protest, it was presented an attempted violence when members of the government supporters confronted the protestants; but thanks to the prompt action of the Federal Police, they were able to stop in time a possible altercation.
This is the fourth protest carried out during this year, in which Brazilians require that the president Rousseff ceases to be their governor. But despite the large influx to this new march, many claim that in comparison to the previous three, had less agglomeration.
This was to be expected because apparently, the convocation to the citizenship for this meeting was planned without anticipation; but in the same way these actions carried out this Sunday will serve to encourage new manifestations from next month of January 2016.
As mentioned previously, the president Dilma Rousseff is facing a political trial since last Tuesday, which is suspended until the next Wednesday, 16 December. The charges against Rousseff are based on a series of maneuvers that were carried out in 2014 and 2015, in order to cover up her accounts.
These maneuvers could be considered as “responsibility crimes”, seriously punished by the Brazilian Constitution and which are reasons for dismissal of a ruler. Therefore, in a so decisive and conscious way; the Brazilians demand an urgent political change, with the hope that their situation will improve.
