Summary
On Copacabana beach in Rio de Janeiro, another protest occurred for president Dilma Rousseff to be impeached. President Rousseff was recently elected for her 2nd term in Brazil but winning back the people wont be so easy for the scandal that occurred. People of Brazil were outraged by the 'Petrobras Scandal': Petrobras oil company caused the biggest scandal of Brazil. Petrobras was caught for money laundering and 3.7 billion worth of suspicious payments. While this scandal was going on President Rousseff happened to be the energy minister and Chairmen of Petrobras during the scandal before she was elected. People suspect President Rousseff was working with the company on there illegal acts.The Brazilian people have lost faith in there president and can not trust her, but that's not the only reason for there protesting. President Rousseff has horrible performance this presidential term and has scored historically low approval ratings along with a crackling economy and political infighting. Although President Rouseff's second term has caused several protests, Brazilian citizens continue to protest as they did in Rio de Janeiro on April 12th.

| Protest for the impeachment of President Rouseff in Rio de Janiero on Copacabana beach Response
Putting myself in a Brazilian citizens shoes, frankly i would be confused. There's no exact proof that President Rousseff is guilty for the 'Petrobras Scandal', so I'm not sure i could outright be ready to protest her for that. I don't understand why these rallies are so numbered when there's no validated proof of her being guilty of the scandal. I feel that the connection with her and the scandal should be more investigated before making assumptions. But, there are still other problems that i would be scared of if i were a citizen. The economy plummeting is something that needs to be fixed right away. Rousseff should try to end the rallies by admitting her wrongs on Live television and try to simply improve, if she can not fix the economy then i too think she should be impeached. I believe The probability of Rousseff winning the trust back of Brazil is very low considering how long these rallies have been going on, and how people are only increasing in each rally.
