— Anti-government demonstrators began streaming into the streets of cities
throughout Brazil on Sunday to demand the impeachment of President Dilma
Rousseff.

It was the second
such day of protests in less than a month and comes as polls show Rousseff
entering the fourth month of her second term in office with historically low
approval ratings amid a massive corruption scandal at the state-run oil
company, Petrobras, as well as a spluttering economy, a rapidly depreciating
currency and political infighting.

green colors of the Brazilian flag and brandishing placards reading "Dilma
Out," congregating in the capital, Brasilia, in the northeastern cities of
Salvador and Belem and in Belo Horizonte in central Brazil.

In Rio de Janeiro,
a protest along the golden sands of Copacabana drew several hundred people, a
far cry from the several thousand-strong turnout here last month.

Demonstrations were
expected later in Brazil's economic capital, Sao Paulo, where more than 200,000
people turned out for the last round of protests. The March 15 rally was among
the biggest in Sao Paulo since demonstrations in 1984 demanding the end of the
military dictatorship.

The protest
movement has been organized, mostly via social media, by a motley assortment of
groups. Most call for Rousseff's impeachment, but they are joined by others
with demands ranging from a military coup to looser gun control laws. The
groups say demonstrations were expected in as many as 400 towns and cities
across this continent-sized nation.

The size of
Sunday's turnout could determine the future of the campaign to impeach
Rousseff, whose Workers' Party is embroiled in a massive corruption scandal at
the state-run oil giant Petrobras. Many analysts say the movement could crumble
if organizers fail to deliver crowds as big as last month's.

"If it doesn't
(match the size of the March 15 protests), people will be less inclined take
part in future demonstrations and the movement toward large-scale rallies will
begin to fizzle out," he said in a telephone interview.

One Brazilian
president, Fernando Collor de Mello, who was accused of corruption by his own
brother, has been impeached since Brazil's return to democracy in 1985, but
many legal experts have said that Rousseff could only be impeached if evidence
emerges directly linking her to crimes committed during her second term, which
began in January.

Still, a survey
released Saturday by the Folha de S.Paulo daily found that 63 percent of
Brazilians surveyed supported impeachment proceedings against Rousseff, while
33 percent opposed them. The same poll, by the respected Datafolha polling
agency, showed Rousseff's approval ratings holding steady, with 13 percent of
respondents giving her a great or good rating while 60 percent of respondents
evaluated her performance as bad or terrible. The survey of 2,834 people in 171
municipalities was conducted on Thursday and Friday. It had a margin of error
of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

Much of the ire of
protesters on Sunday focused on the Petrobras scandal. Prosecutors say at least
$800 million was paid in bribes and other funds by the nation's biggest
construction and engineering firms in exchange for inflated Petrobras
contracts.

Several top executives
and former lawmakers have been detained and the attorney general is
investigating dozens of other congressmen and officials for alleged connections
to the scheme, which apparently began in 1997, before Rousseff's party took
power in 2003.

Rousseff, a former
chairwoman of Petrobras' board, has not been implicated and so far is not being
investigated, though two of her former chiefs of staff are caught up in the
inquiry.

In 2013, more than
a million people took to the streets in a single day to protest against the
high cost of living, poor public schools and hospitals and lavish government
spending on sporting events like last year's World Cup soccer tournament and
the 2016 Olympic games in Rio.

While the 2013
demonstrations were marred by widespread police violence against protesters,
this year's demonstrations have been largely peaceful.

Police estimated that 275,000
demonstrators marched in Sao Paulo. A sea of protesters dressed in
the green and yellow of the Brazilian flag used decades-old rallying cries to
fire up their ranks, singing rock songs that date back to protests of the
country's one-time military dictatorship.
