The first big shake-up for the president – ​​and for her party – came in June 2013, when huge demonstrations broke out in the streets of São Paulo, Rio de Janeiro and, later, in all the big Brazilian cities. Millions of young people, organized through Whatsapp Mobile Number List social networks, protested the increase in public transport fares, but with the underlying demand for a more efficient and present State, capable of offering its citizens quality education, health and transport. «We want services at the level of fifa» shouted the demonstrators, referring to the World Cup that would be held in Brazil the following year. Getting Brazil to host the World Cup in 2014 and then the Rio Olympics in 2016 had been a triumph for Lula's country brand When Brazil seemed to have been propelled skyward. But now the symbols and promises were no longer enough; the demonstrations clearly exposed the failure of the political system to absorb the frustrations and demands of Brazilians8. Rousseff and the pt's Whatsapp Mobile Number List response to the protests was bureaucratic: a few vague promises, Whatsapp Mobile Number List or changing course. The demonstrations ended up calming down, but it was clear that the situation was changing. With the end of the boom in raw materials, which had allowed the expansion of popular consumption and public investment without affecting the interests of the elites, and with an imminent economic slowdown, the time had come to choose who should foot the bill. Starting in March 2015, colossal protest demonstrations, covered and amplified in real time by the mainstream media, multiplied throughout the country. Realizing Rousseff's growing political fragility, Neves and her allies began laying the groundwork for the parliamentary coup to take place in April 2016, without significant popular resistance. The Whatsapp Mobile Number List legal justification for the president's impeachment was a minor accounting manipulation, known in bureaucratic jargon as "budget pedaling", which would have allowed Rousseff to hide the magnitude of the public deficit and supposedly helped her win re-election in 2014. But this was just an excuse10; the same maneuver was used repeatedly by Rousseff's predecessors and successors, without parliamentarians or the court of accounts raising an eyebrow.
