Brazilians march against Rousseff government
Hundreds of thousands of Brazilians took to the streets Sunday, venting anger over government corruption and a souring economy a month after protests gathered more than a million people.
With cries of "Dilma out" and "corrupt government," marchers -- many wearing the yellow and green jerseys of the national football team -- called for President Dilma Rousseff's ouster and an end to impunity for corruption.
Police put turnout at 682,000 people who marched in 195 cities, while organizers gave a total estimate of 1.5 million -- around half of them attending the largest gathering, in business center Sao Paulo.
Beyond the widening graft scandal at state-owned oil giant Petrobras, protesters also expressed displeasure over rising inflation and soaring utility bills.

No way. Less than 100,000 in São Paulo. Less than 300,000 throughout the country.
As for their demands... their signs speak for them.
Let them whine and cry until 2018.
Dilma stays.
