Protests are already dispersing, but sources say it had at least 20K in Brasilia, maybe 10K people in Paulista, and overall big protests in all capitals. All with barely no organization, called from social networks in a matter of hours.

And tomorrow a big one is being called at 10 AM in Brasilia at the time of Lula's nomination

Brasília, São Paulo, São Bernardo do Campo, Rio de Janeiro, Campo Grande and Belo Horizonte are not the capitals of every state. It is still a lot of people, but let's not throw truth to the wind.

Things are getting really ugly. Pretty much both sides decided to go all in. Moro's decision to release the calls (which involved nothing actually illegal) and Lula's nomination as minister essentially show that any semblance of due process is not part of any considerations.

Lots of noise right now, but from what I've read in twitter, there were protests in most if not all major capitals.

But I guess we will only know of sure tomorrow

If Bolsonaro somehow becomes president or vice-president, I'll assassinate him. I don't even care about the neoDOPS reading this crap post, I'll loving put a bullet in his head before he even accepts the nomination.

At this point, I am fairly certain that the outcome of this entire thing will be some extra-legal, if not outright illegal, event. No one is even pretending to try to follow the law anymore (including Moro, who released wiretaps conducted after they were ordered to stop, and were therefore illegal). Essentially, whoever can come up with the "solution" to save the bulk of PMDB will end in power, which is the saddest irony of it all.

This may be the end of Moro's career, actually.

At least as a judge. If he gets retired from his job it would clear his path to run for president in 2018 so maybe that's his plan?

Nah, Brazil will be alright. The political crisis is serious in the sense that it will probably change the political landscape a lot next elections, not in the sense of an impending coup.

Seems crazy that Moro would do something so petty that so thoroughly undermines his own credibility, impartiality (already pretty damaged) and opens him up for action against him. I read the lawyer that authored the Collor impeachment claim that even treason charges could be levelled. I guess it's the same arrogance as all the corrupt assholes on the anti-pt side, that the press will shield them from any scrutiny.

I wouldn't be surprised if that is part of his calculus. Because I feel things would go bad very quickly if he is suspended or removed from the case. I mean, not only did he release tapes that were recorded after the legal authorization to do so had been revoked, but also tapes that involved Lula and his attorney talking defense strategy.


Meanwhile, a young couple was beaten up because they said "no" when people started shouting "fora Lula" around them (which they did because the couple had a red bike and "looked like petistas"):

Even if Dilma gets impeached, I don't think anything will actually change until there's a major political reform, and I don't think that specifically will be the catalyst for an actual reform.

Of course not. The biggest winners of this whole thing are the party with the greatest number of people involved in the scandal in the first place: PMDB. Essentially, whoever wins between PT and PSDB will only do so by guaranteeing the freedom of the greatest number of PMDBistas. If Dilma falls tomorrow, you can bet that Temer's, Calheiro's and Cunha's dirt will be forgotten in the name of national unity or whatever.

Not true. PMDB was formerly "MDB" (Movimento Democrático Brasileiro = Brazilian Democratic Movement) and the only "legal" opposition allowed by the military dictatorship. Because of that and other things that I can expand upon if necessary, it inherited a massive ready-to-go political machine during the democratization process, managing to obtain an ample number of legislative and executive offices nationwide. It has been, ever since, the largest voting bloc in our Congress and has the largest number of State governments.

As it is, it has a huge, broad voting base, from historic liberal opposition in the South (who kept supporting the party even though it is a loving frankenstein by this point), to Southeastern public bureaucracy, to the coronéis everywhere that used the party as a means of power projection in the government (Sarney is the greatest example).

Yeah, PMDB is essentially "people from the dictatorship and their successors" and are pretty much a cancer festering in the republic thanks to their established connections.

Friends are what make testing worth it.
Pretty fun how the police is so passive about these protests. a few dozen patriotic citizens closing part of Paulista Avenue the entire morning is just fine.

Now if it was a few thousand students closing the same Avenue to protest against the transport fares, and you didn't give the police the exact route you planned to follow, you were hosed.
