Hundreds of people took to the streets of Rio de Janeiro on the Independence day of Brazil, Wednesday, to protest against the newly appointed President Michel Temer. Similar protests took place in around 40 cities across Brazil.
One protester said "today is September 7, the Independence day of Brazil, which to us was never independent. Therefore, we are here to achieve more freedom and social rights, through the two mandates of [Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva] Lula and now the president Dilma. We are suffering a juridical and media coup."
Temer officially took office on 31 August 2016, after being appointed by the Brazilian Senate in Brasilia. His appointment comes as former President Dilma Rousseff was removed from office, in order for an impeachment trial to continue against her. Rousseff has been charged with manipulating public budgetary figures before the October 2014 election. She maintains her innocence and accuses those who are seeking to impeach her of instigating a coup.
