RIO DE JANEIRO, March 19, (APP/AFP): Some 267,000 people took to the
streets in Brazil Friday in a show of support for embattled President Dilma Rousseff, police said, substantially lower than the turnout estimate for anti-government protests Sunday.
Organizers for their part said 1.2 million pro-government
demonstrators had turned out. Protests calling for Rousseff’s ouster drew three million people at the weekend, according to police, though other estimates put the number at around one million.
