Didn't find anything when I searched so here we go.
Hundreds of thousands of Brazilians flooded the streets on Sunday in the biggest ever protests calling for President Dilma Rousseff's removal, reflecting rising popular anger that could encourage Congress to impeach the leftist leader.
The demonstrations were the latest in a wave of anti-government rallies that lost momentum late last year but have regained strength as a sweeping corruption investigation nears Rousseff's inner circle.
From the Amazon jungle city of Manaus to the business hub of Sao Paulo and the capital Brasilia, protesters marched in a nationwide call for Rousseff to step down, raising pressure on lawmakers to back ongoing impeachment proceedings against her that just a few weeks ago appeared to be doomed.
Police estimates from more than 150 cities compiled by news website G1 showed around 3 million Brazilians participated in the demonstrations. Some police estimates of previous protests have proved to be exaggerated.
Polling firm Datafolha estimated 500,000 demonstrators in Sao Paulo, the biggest rally in the city's history and more than twice the size of a major protest a year ago. The military police put the figure at 1.4 million at the height of the demonstration.
Government sources contacted by Reuters acknowledged the demonstrations were bigger than anti-government rallies in March 2015, which gathered as many as 1 million people.
Some people wanting the military dictatorship back, and some people saying that Bolsonaro (a dude that trump would say it is racist and homophobic) is a hero
and that places like Porto Alegre have anti-impeachment protests but they are nowhere to be seen on television
also, as said before, some people on the protest called corrupt politicians on their shitness to come to a protest against Dilma since they are also corrupt .... but nobody wants them to receive any impeachment.
Also, as Shizuka lovely proved with his last image, the protest was not against Dilma, but against her entire political party (the banner on the sound car reads "LULA IN JAIL NOW" and Lula is the president elect before dilma)
People in this thread will try to discredit what they did in many, many ways, see above for an example. Heck, I've heard people saying that "protesting is useless" today.
But congrats to everyone that made this possible, there were a few bad apples but that happens everywhere.
Interesting to see the Latin American economies completely crumbling. USA has done a great job though. And the world economy is poised to take a massive hit right now. It's definitely going to get bad, we just don't know how bad.
Even though I'll never say "don't go to these protests", some aspects of it totally put me off.
Gladly, this one in particular started showing signs of coherence. i.e.: people booing politicians who were trying to piggyback on their movement to promote their own agendas (some of them with quite a bunch of lawsuits on their backs), less people using the CBF (the national federation for futebol, who aren't trustworthy at all) shirt to represent the green and yellow.
She is blamed by many in Brazil for plunging the economy into its worst recession in at least 25 years.
The Federal Accounts Court said in October that her government's accounting practices in 2014, including taking what amounted to unauthorised loans from state-owned banks to make up for budget shortfalls, broke law.
Another judicial body, the electoral court, or TSE, has ruled in favour of investigating alleged illegalities in Rousseff's 2014 re-election campaign.
Especially worryingly for Rousseff was that one of the allegations in the complaint brought to the TSE by the opposition PSDB party was that some donations to her re-election coffers were linked in part to the Petrobras corruption scandal.
Rousseff chaired Petrobras during the main period of the kickbacks-and-bribery scandal that cost the company more than $2bn in 2014.
Apparently, biggest protests ever here. Probably more than 1 million in São Paulo alone.
Yes, you're going to see some shit that may try to discredit the protests, like rich people doing stupid stuff or something like that, but don't be fooled. That's a massive amount of people of every type there. One of the biggest satire sites over here even made a mockery of the pro-goverment people saying that only the elite are protesting:
People on private yacht complaining about the economic crisis

You forgot to say you are completely biased. Selecting pictures to manipulate GAF into believing this movement isn't legit smh. This is the worst economic crisis the country has been in the past 25 years.
The protests are against Rousseff AND the biggest corruption scandal that ever existed in this country. Stop trying to reduce the protests exclusively to the political opposition. Your behaviour is shameful, this is a legit manifestation of the Brazilian people, even the opposition politics who tried to gain attention from this event were ostracized.
Yes, Platy information is pretty biased and it's sad that information trying to discredit the protests are in the OP.
Regarding the giant duck: it's from one of the industry organizations in São Paulo. There's an expression in Brazil that says "eu não vou pagar o pato" (literally translating, "I won't pay for the duck" lol). It means that we won't pay for a screw up of someone else, and the organization is using to tell that we won't pay to fix the government issues caused by corruption, as one of the government measures to "improve" our economy is raising the taxes.

But why are you so mad about people mocking Lula? After all, he is a target of Lava Jato operation. The corruption scandal is also a reason for the protest.
^ Dilma Rousseff is a woman, if you were trying to say "he won't resign".
The police in Brazil exaggerate the numbers up, not down? In France it's always the opposite: you'll hear things like: 10,000 protestors according to the police, 100,000 according to the organizers (which means somewhere around 20,000 for real).

Because this is not a protest against Dilma and this is not a protest against corruption.
There are only pictures and banners against PT (dilma's political party) politicians. Aécio was the politician more mentioned in the Lava Jato scandals and there isn't a SINGLE BANNER against him because he is not from PT. Yes, he was "booo"ed when he appeared but that is only because his hypocrisy was too much for people =P
Also ... more pics !
Zombie Lula and taking pics with your kid with the MilitaryPolice !!!

So the two sides are a corrupt inept liberal government with bourgeoisie fucks protesting to bring back to an age of authoritarian neoliberalism?
The current government is garbage but let's not pretend these protests are anything but an attempt to bring back an age of inequality and dictatorship in the country.
