Brazil, one country, one protest
Brazil readies for Sunday’s mass protests; tepid marches in support of Dilma on Friday
Sunday’s protest marches which are scheduled to take place in at least fifty cities have been organized through the social networks with apparently no political parties’ influence, similar to what happened during the Confederation Cup in 2013. Friday’s marches on the other hand were clearly organized by political groups and associations closely aligned and supportive of the Workers Party and the administration of Dilma Rousseff.
Police said 12,000 people blocked one of the main avenues of Sao Paulo, Brazil's largest city, marching in the rain to defend the state-run oil company and worker rights threatened by belt-tightening economic policies.
