Brazilians Rally to Impeach President
More than a million people have rallied in Brazil to call for the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff amid an economic crisis and corruption scandal. A polling firm said a record half-million people rallied in São Paulo alone, while estimates by military police, who have been accused of inflating numbers in the past, put the nationwide turnout at about 3.5 million. Rousseff’s Workers’ Party predecessor, former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, has been charged with money laundering.
