Political Crisis Hits Brazil


 three branches of Brazil's government are accused of wrongdoing. Old political heroes are being cast in new, unflattering light. And streets across the country have been filled with hundreds of thousands of demonstrators.

Ge de Souza, a doorman in downtown Sao Paulo, pointed to streets Saturday and offered his assessment of the unfolding political crisis: "In my house, I guess everything is just OK. Out there, it's all chaos."

Protesters have been demanding President Dilma Rousseff be removed from office and former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva be sent to prison. Other protesters have been defending them.

"Everything is changing every few hours, and absolutely no one knows what will happen next," the doorman said.
