Brazil: Hundreds of Thousands Rally Behind Rousseff

2015-08-21 1

Hundreds of thousands of Brazilians took to the streets Thursday in mass demonstrations in support of President Dilma Rousseff. The show-of-support comes in response to right-wing opposition demonstrations held last Sunday that called for Rousseff's impeachment due to the country's economic crisis and the Petrobras corruption scandal. Rousseff has accused the opposition of seeking to destabilize the government. teleSUR
