The city -- SouthAmerica's biggest, and Brazil's business and industrial hub -- is a strongholdof opposition to Rousseff.Peaceful demonstrations also took place in 83 cities and towns aroundthe country, including major protests in the capital Brasilia and in Rio deJaneiro. The numbers matched the vast rallies that roiled Brazil in June 2013,when protesters angry at the cost of hosting the 2014 World Cup demanded an endto corruption and more spending on transportation, health and education.The protests are significantly larger than those convened on Friday insupport of Rousseff and Petrobras by unions and social movements related to herruling Workers' Party (PT).In the capital Brasilia alone, between 45,000 and 50,000 people marchedSunday towards the Congress, according to police estimates.The government was keen to appear to be listening and towards the end ofthe day Justice Minister Jose Eduardo Cardozo and Miguel Rossetto, presidentialchief of staff, gave a press conference saying immediate steps would be takento fight graft and impunity.In Rio de Janeiro, people waved Brazilian flags along the coastalCopacabana avenue behind a truck blaring slogans against Rousseff.The marches were supported by the opposition Social Democracy Party, whosepresident Aecio Neves -- who lost the election runoff to Rousseff -- said invideo on Facebook that "the road is just beginning." Dozens of political figures, including close allies of Rousseff, andformer Petrobras executives are under investigation over a kickback and moneylaundering scheme that saw an estimated $3.8 billion creamed off inflatedcontracts over a decade.No one has been convicted yet, but some of the alleged wrongdoing tookplace while Rousseff was chairman of the Petrobras board.Twenty-two deputies, 13 senators and two governors have been implicatedin the bribe-taking allegations. Rousseff is not being investigated.In addition to the corruption scandal at Petrobras, Rousseff is alsofacing rising inflation and a Brazilian economy that is on the brink ofrecession.
