Violent clashes broke out as scores of protesters took to the streets of Rio de Janeiro, Friday, to denounce President Michel Temer and his recently proposed PEC 55 welfare reforms (previously PEC 241).
The police unleashed tear gas at the protesters. At least three people were reportedly detained following the demonstration.
Earlier in the week, the Brazilian constitutional affairs committee in the Senate approved PEC 55.
The reforms, which will now face two more sets of votes from all members of the chamber on November 29 and December 13, propose a cap to social welfare spending for the next 20 years. A proposal for a future referendum on the reforms has been rejected by senators.
