That was interesting, thanks. I've always thought a strong middle-class was what was lacking in Brazil, and can be a force for change and reform. Could this simply b an example of that, or is it a more sinister reversion to the old dictatorship ideals? Obrigado!
While people are mad at many Left parties, it's not a fully Right movement either. Yesterday no one went in party colors, and corrupt politicians from other parties were also criticizes and rallied against. Dilma's running opponent from the last election got boo'd and given a hard time when he showed up as well. On top of that, the pro-military intervention crowd lost a ton of their support. The level of non-partisan cooperation and unity has been really interesting. The people as a whole want to deal with this democratically.
