Supporters of Brazil's suspended president Dilma Rousseff took to the streets on Monday in several Brazilian cities.
Protesters gathered in downtown Rio to support Dilma Rousseff on the day she began testifying in her defense before the Brazilian Senate. Similar demonstrations took place in several states across Brazil.
Rousseff stands accused of breaking budget laws. However, she denied it and said her accusers organized what amounts to a coup d'etat.
Protesters have been waving signs that read: "No to the coup" and "Out Temer".
Michel Temer is the interim president implicated in the ongoing corruption scandal involving state oil producer, Petrobras. These protesters want Temer out and Rousseff's return to the office.
"We are here today in the streets because we want the immediate removal of the interim president and the reinstatement of Dilma Rousseff because we understand that only she can take the necessary measures to re-establish democracy in this country," said a protester.
"We want Dilma to stay and Temer out. That is the feeling of the people that think this is a maneuver," said another protester.
Organized by the Popular Brazil Front, a left-wing umbrella organization for social-welfare advocates and trade unions, this protest also opposes Michel Temer's business-friendly government.
Protesters said Temer does not represent the nation and actually wants the end of all workers' rights.
There have been no pro-impeachment demonstrations, partly because so many people expect it to happen. But today's protests, once again, expose the deep divide in public opinion over the fate of Dilma Rousseff and over what Brazil must do to end one of the longest and deepest recessions in this nation's history.
