[QUOTE]Brazil’s most influential trade unions and social movements are anticipating 150,000 people to participate in demonstrations in the country's capital city of Brasilia on Wednesday demanding the immediate resignation of current President Michel Temer along with the call for direct elections.

The protests, which include the participation of various social movements including the Unified Workers Central (CUT), Brazil Popular Front (Frente Brasil Popular) and People Without Fear (Povo Sem Medo), are rejecting President Temer’s recent refusal to step down as head-of-state following the recent corruption allegations.

As part of last minute security measures, [B]the Brazilian Defense Minister Raul Jungmann authorized the deployment of military troops “in order to guarantee law and order” in the Brazilian capital[/B].

The news came shortly after [B]peaceful protesters were met with violent repression by police, firing tear gas and rubber bullets at crowds of people who called for the immediate resignation of President Temer[/B], according to local media reports.[/QUOTE]

Not that I'm saying direct democracy is a good thing but this idiot of a president has the gall to fire on protesters after Dilma stretched the publics patience like taffy? Its like he's begging for impeachment to the point where he might as well announce it.
