Mass protests in Brazil call for Bolsonaro’s impeachment

Crowds parade through cities as polling shows president's ratings sinking to new depths

Tens of thousands of protesters have returned to the streets of Brazil's biggest cities to demand Jair Bolsonaro's impeachment, as a poll showed the Brazilian president's ratings had plumbed new depths.

Huge crowds paraded through downtown Rio on Saturday to voice their outrage at Bolsonaro's response to a Covid outbreak that has killed nearly 600,000 people and dealt a heavy blow to the South American country's economy.
