“Thousands took to the streets in cities across Brazil demanding that embattled President Dilma Rousseff — facing a weak economy and calls for her impeachment — be removed from office. It was the fourth time this year that demonstrators across the sprawling nation of 204 million marched to demand the removal of the country’s first female president. Political uncertainty is adding to the country’s economic woes, with GDP down 4.5 percent in the third quarter year-on-year, and the national currency down a third against the dollar this year. With her approval ratings at only 10 percent, Rousseff has little political support to mount a defense.”
