“The Free Brazil Movement, a growing force that is more focused than the 2013 unrest that expressed a wide range of middle-class anger.

Kataguiri and others are striking a chord with Brazilians fed up with soaring inflation, a high and growing tax burden, and those who blame government intervention for hobbling Brazil’s economy, which grew just 0.1 percent last year and is expected to shrink in 2015.”
