In Brazil, massive protests against the impeachment of suspended President Dilma Rousseff have rocked São Paulo for a second day. Thousands took to the streets, blockaded major thoroughfares and lit fires. The police responded by firing flashbang grenades and tear gas at the crowds. This is one of the protesters.
Juliana de Oliveira: “It is not our intention to change the senators’ votes, because we believe that the cards have already been dealt. Our intention is to show that we are going to fight until the end, that we will fight for each and every right they try to take away, so we are going to stay in the street as long as it is necessary.”
The Brazilian Senate is expected to vote to impeach Dilma Rousseff as early as later today.
