RIO DE JANEIRO — Tens of thousands of protesters returned to the streets of cities acrossBrazil on Sunday to express their ire against President Dilma Rousseff, reflecting a low ebb for her as she grapples with a colossal bribery scandal and a declining economy.
Still, the protests in some cities seemed to lack some of the urgency of huge demonstrations this year calling for the ouster of Ms. Rousseff, a leftist who won re-election just 10 months ago, suggesting tension may be easing somewhat on the president as congressional and business leaders try to prevent a political crisis from intensifying.
The protest in Rio de Janeiro had something of a Carnivalesque feel to it; some demonstrators wore bathing suits as they marched through the Copacabana district as trucks blared samba. But vitriol also marked the event, with some urging the president to kill herself or calling on the military to take power.

“A military intervention may be illegal, but the people have to mobilize to make it legal,” said Rosangela Almeida, 53, an accountant, arguing that action must be taken to prevent Brazil from suffering the economic disarray of neighboring Venezuela. Decades of dictatorship in Brazil left a legacy of hyperinflation and human rights abuses, and political analysts consider the chances of the armed forces returning to power through a coup to be negligible. Still, rising polarization is feeding fears that political infighting could prolong an economic slump.

Eying the potential for upheaval if Ms. Rousseff is forced to step down, business leaders have been pressuring political leaders to prevent the crisis from worsening. In a notable move, the newspaper O Globo said in an editorial that maneuvering against Ms. Rousseff in Congress had gone too far.
The head of the Senate, Renan Calheiros, expressed opposition last week to impeaching Ms. Rousseff, while seeking to advance measures to restore confidence in the economy. The possibility that Ms. Rousseff could draw greater support in the Senate bolstered hopes that she could fend off momentum for her impeachment in the lower house.
Still, some observers warn that the political crisis remains in flux. Prosecutors are expected to make more revelations in the bribery scandal involving Petrobras, the government-controlled oil company. The economy is expected to shrink both this year and next. And Ms. Rousseff’s approval ratings remain mired in the single digits.
“Conciliation is advancing, but it’s still based on a precarious equilibrium,” said Bernardo Mello Franco, a columnist for the newspaper Folha de S.Paulo.
Ms. Rousseff insists she will not resign, even as her opponents hold her responsible for the scandal at Petrobras because the bribery scheme flourished while she was chairwoman of the company’s board, before her election in 2010. She also faces legal challenges over whether her campaign received illicit contributions and if her government improperly used money from state banks to cover budget shortfalls.
“There is a process of intolerance in Brazil unseen except in moments of the past when democracy was ruptured,” Ms. Rousseff said last week in a televised interview. “The culture of the coup still exists, but I don’t think the conditions are there for it to occur.”
Many protesters throughout Brazil on Sunday said they were prepared to deal with the consequences of ousting her. “Impeachment would be momentarily destabilizing, but it’s allowed in the Constitution, and it needs to happen,” said Pedro Lopes Siqueira, 35, a public servant in Rio de Janeiro’s judiciary.
Others, however, are not so sanguine. Cássia Regina Dias, 42, who earns a living making sweets, said she wanted Ms. Rousseff removed from power, but expressed dismay about the jockeying for power as the president’s influence declines. “No party will be the savior after such damage,” Ms. Dias said.

Big protests in Brazil demand President Rousseff's impeachment
Hundreds of thousands of Brazilians have joined demonstrations against President Dilma Rousseff, with many asking for her impeachment.
The protesters say the president must have known about a corruption scandal in the state oil firm, Petrobras.
The political opposition say much of the alleged bribery took place when she was head of the company.
But Ms Rousseff has been exonerated in an investigation by the attorney general and denies involvement.
Most of the politicians accused of taking bribes in a kickback scheme come from the governing coalition.
After the protests, the government promised a series of measures to combat corruption and impunity.
Justice Minister Jose Eduardo Cardozo said the government saw the rallies as an "expression of democracy".
'Virtues, values, dreams'
Protests have taken place across 22 Brazilian states and the federal capital, Brasilia.
The largest demonstration went ahead in Sao Paulo, a major opposition stronghold.
The estimates of how many people attended the march varied widely.
Brazilian data analysts Datafolha say almost 200,000 people marched on Avenida Paulista on Sunday evening.
But police estimated the number of participants at one million, based on aerial photographs of the area.
Many of the protesters waved Brazilian flags and wore the yellow shirts of the national football team.
They shouted slogans against corruption and the Workers' Party government.
Opposition parties have backed Sunday's protests but have not openly called for impeachment of the president, says the BBC's Gary Duffy in Sao Paulo.
Senator Aecio Neves, who was defeated by a narrow margin in October's presidential vote, issued a statement praising the protests.
He said Brazilians "went to the streets to reunite with their virtues, their values and also with their dreams".
'Coup attempt'
In Brasilia a crowd of 40,000 demonstrated outside the Congress building.
In Rio de Janeiro, where Ms Rousseff won 55% of the vote in the October presidential election, police said around 25,000 people had joined a protest there.
"There's no point in complaining only on social media, we have to be here and show that we are really fed up," businesswoman Daniela Mello told AP news agency in Rio.
Friday saw supporters of President Rousseff out in force, with tens of thousands taking to the streets.
Her supporters say calls for an impeachment, less than five months after she was elected to a second four-year term, amount to a coup attempt.
The Workers' Party has been in power since President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was sworn in for his first term in January 2003.
Earlier this month, the Supreme Court approved the investigation of 54 people for their alleged involvement in the kickback scheme.
The list was prepared by Attorney General Rodrigo Janot who alleged that private companies paid corrupt officials in order to get lucrative Petrobras contracts.
According to the investigation, high-profile politicians also took a share of the money siphoned off from the oil company.
Mr Junot's list includes Senate President Renan Calheiros, President of the Chamber of Deputies Eduardo Cunha, former Energy Minister Edison Lobao and former President Fernando Collor de Mello.
All deny corruption allegations.

Da avenida Paulista a Miami, os protestos antigoverno em 12 frases

Protestos contra o governo da presidente Dilma Rousseff levaram milhares às ruas nos 26 Estados, no Distrito Federal e até em cidades do exterior neste domingo.

Em São Paulo, maior cidade do país, a manifestação levou 135 mil pessoas à região da avenida Paulista, segundo o Datafolha.

A Polícia Militar de São Paulo estimou o público em 350 mil pessoas - nos atos antigoverno de abril, a estimativa da PM foi de 275 mil pessoas e, nos protestos de março, de 1 milhão.

A adesão foi alta em capitais como Curitiba (60 mil pessoas, segundo a PM), Porto Alegre (30 mil) e Florianópolis (26 mil). No Rio, a PM não estimou a dimensão da manifestação, que ocorreu na praia de Copacabana.

A BBC Brasil acompanhou os atos em São Paulo, em Brasília, no Rio de Janeiro, em Miami e em Londres.

Em meio a gritos isolados por "intervenção militar constitucional" e até pela volta da monarquia, predominaram críticas à corrupção, referências de apoio à Operação Lava Jato e a defesa do impeachment de Dilma.

A BBC Brasil selecionou algumas das frases que resumem os protestos do dia. Confira!

Há 11 anos nos EUA, onde nasceu sua filha, a empresária Joana Machado, 33 anos, explica uma das faixas que a família levou ao ato contra o governo em Miami: "Na última manifestação a favor da Dilma, um cara dizia que quem não estava feliz no Brasil deveria ir para Miami lavar privada. Queria mostrar que não há nada de indigno em fazer isso". Ela diz protestar porque pretende voltar ao país um dia, "mas antes as coisas precisam melhorar".



Criativa, esta carioca adaptou a famosa frase "Gentileza gera Gentileza", do "profeta" homônimo, figura lendária no Rio de Janeiro, para protestar contra a corrupção. Sem se identificar, ela disse que sua prioridade é o impeachment da presidente Dilma Rousseff.
Houve quem buscasse se distanciar do embate partidário, como nesse cartaz visto na avenida Paulista, em São Paulo. Boa parte dos manifestantes na avenida mais famosa da cidade se dizia "apartidária". Enquanto a maioria esmagadora reclamava do PT, havia também críticos ao PSDB e ao PMDB.



"Posso assegurar que esta é a única 'árvore-manifesto' do mundo, disse à BBC Brasil o paulistano Paulo Kubalak, na avenida Paulista. "Simboliza o galho podre, de Dilma a Collor, passando por Renan e Cunha."

"O protesto não tem cor", diz Jesse Hilton, analista administrativo, durante a manifestação paulistana. Seu cartaz faz referência aos comentários que ganharam as redes sociais sobre uma suposta "maioria branca" presente nos protestos contra o governo desde o início deste ano.



As críticas a Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva foram recorrentes nas manifestações. Em gritos e cartazes, muitos defendiam a prisão do ex-presidente e o associavam às investigações da operação Lava Jato, da Polícia Federal.



"A (operação) Lava Jato me mostrou pela primeira vez na vida que o Brasil está disposto a lutar contra a corrupção. É isso, a gente precisa ser lavado - e isto inclui o PT, a Câmara dos Deputados e o Senado", diz Nani Catta Preta, ao lado do marido Beto, na avenida Paulista.




Sucesso entre os manifestantes no ato na capital paulista, este cartaz fez trocadilho com o símbolo petista e o filme de Hollywood "A Culpa é das Estrelas".

Líderes do PMDB, como o senador Renan Calheiros e o ex-presidente José Sarney, também foram alvo dos manifestantes nesse domingo. Houve menções isoladas ao presidente da Câmara dos Deputados, Eduardo Cunha (PMDB-RJ), como nesse cartaz elogioso em São Paulo.

Não faltaram menções irônicas às declarações recentes de Dilma sobre metas do Pronatec (Programa Nacional de Acesso ao Ensino Técnico e Emprego) e à já famosa "saudação à mandioca".

Setores que defendem a volta dos militares ao poder marcaram presença nos atos pelo Brasil. Em São Paulo, o empresário Fausto Ferraz, 49, dizia que as Forças Armadas são a "única solução para limpar o país".



A paulistana Hayley Rocco distribuía panfletos a favor da volta do regime monárquico ao país: "Foi o único período de estabilidade política, institucional e econômica do Brasil", diz. "Nunca um imperador, por exemplo, aumentou seu salário."

Brazil Girds for Protests as Rousseff Faces Impeachment Risk

As allegations of corruption and incompetence swamp Brazil’s government, and plummeting commodity prices sap its economy, hundreds of thousands of angry citizens are expected to descend on central squares across the country on Sunday, posing a key test for President Dilma Rousseff.
This will be the year’s third mass protest against Rousseff, who is facing growing calls for her impeachment. A strong showing could help support her ouster and deepen a sell-off on financial markets.


The Free Brazil Movement, one of the groups organizing the demonstrations, says rallies are confirmed in 114 cities.

The Free Brazil Movement, one of the groups organizing the demonstrations, says rallies are confirmed in 114 cities.
Congress is watching the turnout both to judge the support for impeachment proceedings and to measure the level of discontent in their home districts.
“Representatives in the lower house are paying close attention to the protests on Sunday to see if they have a national impact,” said Leonardo Picciani the leader of the Democratic Movement Party in the lower house, which remains in uneasy alliance with Rousseff’s Workers’ Party.
Picciani’s party, known as the PMDB, has the largest representation in Congress. Speaker Eduardo Cunha declared his personal opposition to the government after he was accused of soliciting and accepting a $5 million bribe, which he denied. While his party has not formally broken from the Workers’ Party, some of its representatives say they’ll vote for impeachment, an aim shared by large segments of the population.
Reconciliation Talks
The past week has actually provided some respite for the government. The Senate, led by PMDB member Renan Calheiros, showed signs it will cooperate, and two events involving social movements drew supporters for Rousseff and her party. Vice President Michel Temer, also of the PMDB, will invite Cunha and Calheiros for a reconciliation meeting next week, according to a government official who asked not to be named when speaking about future plans.
Cunha told Bloomberg News he hasn’t yet been notified of the meeting, but he’s willing to “dialogue with anyone.”
O Globo, the newspaper of the country’s largest media group, often accused of trying to overthrow the government, published aneditorial this week criticizing Congress for feeding a political crisis that aggravates the country’s economic crisis. And the widely expected decision by Moody’s Investors Service to downgrade Brazil’s sovereign credit rating was also taken by some as a good sign, since the country was left with a stable outlook.
Legal Infraction
In another development interpreted by some as positive for the government, Brazil’s audit court granted 15 additional days to respond to new irregularities found in Rousseff’s 2014 accounting. Since impeachment requires a legal infraction, not simply low popularity, the audit court’s recommendation, which will be sent to Congress for a final decision, is seen as the most likely basis to begin impeachment proceedings.
Since narrowly winning reelection last October, Rousseff, Brazil’s first female president, has embarked on an austerity program that has cost her political capital. Her popularity has plummeted to 8 percent, a record low, and more than two-thirds of Brazilians support impeachment, according to Datafolha, a polling firm. The economy in 2015 is forecast to post its worst performance in 25 years amid ongoing corruption probes into politicians and executives.
Expensive Measures
Rousseff has reversed herself on some popular but expensive measures such as caps on electricity and gasoline prices. The middle class that doesn’t qualify for subsidies has been hardest hit as power bills rose an average 23 percent, and more than 50 percent in some regions. Higher interest rates are restricting consumer credit, unemployment has hit 6.9 percent and inflation is rising, inching toward 10 percent.
Rousseff won election in 2010 following Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, the central figure of the Workers’ Party. She rode his popularity for most of her first term until demonstrations in 2013 brought millions to the streets protesting corruption and spending on the World Cup hosted by Brazil last year.
Rousseff recovered enough to win reelection but protests in March and April took aim at her.
Renan Machado, a 29-year-old lawyer from Sao Paulo said Sunday’s rallies will be an opportunity to demonstrate the outrage shared by many Brazilians.
“I’m going to protest to end this wave of corruption because I can’t stand this incompetent government any longer,” Machado said.
Collor’s Impeachment
The date of this week’s protest is no accident -- demonstrations on Aug. 16, 1992 helped lead to impeachment proceedings against Fernando Collor de Mello.
Collor, who resurrected his political career to become a senator, is one of the more than 30 sitting lawmakers under investigation for alleged participation in a kickback scheme that funneled money from contracts with the state oil company, Petroleo Brasileiro SA, to political parties. Most of the politicians under investigation are part of Rousseff’s ruling coalition, and police arrested the former treasurer and a senior official of her party. Prosecutors haven’t presented evidence against Rousseff and she has repeatedly declared her innocence.
Rousseff has stepped up her public appearances this month, defending herself and her plan to remain in office. She said she never considered resigning and asked Brazilians to reject politics that create chaos for political gain.
Miguel Rossetto, her general secretary, said on Thursday that Sunday’s rallies should not be over-interpreted. “There are protests in favor of the government and those that are critical of the government,” he said. “It’s part of the learning process of our democracy.”

Brazil's
Pots And Pans Clamor For Progress
Control
Risks
 , Contributor
By
Andrew DeSimone
NEW
YORK – The
 Petrobras scandal
in Brazil has metastasized beyond President
 Dilma
Rousseff
’s
control, bringing Brazilians back onto the streets in a groundswell
of discontent. This latest iteration of the “panelaço,” that
distinctly Latin American form of mass protest by banging pots and
pans, served to mute a recent nationally televised speech and send a
clear message of  “you’ve had your chance and blew it, we’re
not listening anymore!”
But
amid the clanging there are upbeat notes for the patient and
well-tuned ear. Investors who are positioning to weather the gloomy
forecasts for the country’s immediate prospects can take heart in
the positive back-story at play: the mainstream voting populace’s
focus on transparency and good governance. That these two pillars for
sound and sustainable business have also converged in the political
spectrum bodes well for the country’s business landscape in the
long run.
For
now, however, all due caution is in order. Brazil is mired in a
political and economic crisis with no easy solution.  The next
national elections are way off in 2018, and despite the rumors,
impeachment is a practical non-starter. Rousseff’s coalition will
likely continue a haphazard duck-and-swerve through this confidence
crisis. In parallel, the ruling Workers’ Party will pull out the
stops to shore up its core constituencies, namely unions, low or
no-income beneficiaries of cash transfer programs, and historical
strongholds in the north and northeast.
The
center-right opposition has the wind at its back. Its lead party, the
Brazilian Social Democratic Party, has been consistently narrowing
the election gap—losing the presidential election in 2014 but by
the narrowest margin since 2002. It now has a historic opportunity to
lock in elements of the lower middle-class previously loyal to the
Worker’s Party. Many of these voters lament the deterioration of
the country’s once-revered economic champions, such as Petrobras
and
 CSN ,
the national steel company. They see government ineptitude as the
cause, and are growing increasingly angry about it.
In
order to capitalize on this discontent, the opposition needs to
further shed its “business elite friendly, out of touch with the
people” image and cultivate one palatable to the emerging middle
class – a coveted group whose agglomerated support is essential to
winning the presidency and leading majority coalitions in the
Congress. The fact that the opposition is rallying around two
interconnected themes—governance and rational economic policy—is
a clear reflection of public attitudes. And with increased economic
stagnation, public awareness and agitation only increase in demanding
an answer for how each and every one of “their Reais [currency] are
being spent.”
The
kitchen quartets have played their tune. But what seems at first to
be the sounding of an alarm is also a demonstration of Brazil’s
world-famous optimism and resilience in the face of disappointment.
It is clearly determined to cast away the “take-off, crash-landing”
narrative which Brazilians are raised to loathe and lament.
Persistence, agility, and a geologist’s patience are in order for
sure. But at least for now, the focus is zeroed in on what is central
and sound for business and society alike.
