After a period of confusion and demoralization following the impeachment of Workers Party (PT) President Dilma Rousseff last spring, workers and students appear to have found their voices again and are pouring into the streets to oppose Temer. On April 28, tens of millions of Brazilian workers participated in the largest general strike ever conducted in the Western hemisphere, and a national mobilization dubbed Occupy Brasília—Brazil's federal capital—on May 24 will be a major show of force against Temer's neoliberal reforms to Brazil's pension system.</p> - <a href="https://internationalviewpoint.org/-IV508-May-2017-" rel="directory">IV508 - May 2017</a>
