Hundreds of thousands protested in 200 cities in Brazil on Sunday, August 16, to demand the resignation of President Dilma Rousseff. In São Paulo, 350,000 protesters marched along Avenida de Paulista, according to the city’s security secretariat. No violence was reported.
This is the third major protest against Rousseff and the Workers’ party, whom the protesters blame for Brazil’s economic woes. The president’s approval rating dropped to eight percent in early August. Credit: YouTube/Guilherme Garcia
