Protest calls for output Dilma after release clips by Judge Sergio Moro, on March 16
Before focused on street mega-events, responsible for demonstrating the popular strength of their flags among some of the country's population, movements that call for the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff began to prioritize its activities in Brasilia. Especially in recent weeks, this has occurred through strategy meetings with opposition MPs, pressure on undecided parliamentarians in the process and smaller protests, but punctual, which directly affect the members on a daily basis through the halls of Congress.
Until March 13, when the acts that call for the fall of the federal government attracted more than 2 million people in Brazil (according to the military police), all major protests against Dilma were already called on the streets, with the goal of raising supporters and gain press attention well in advance.
This was the case on March 15, April 14, August 16 and December 13, the four mega-events organized by social movements throughout 2015. The last, at the end of last year, called the detractors of the President to act It would occur only after three months, which even caused dissatisfaction of protesters unrelated to movements due to the long period of time between them.
But the situation changed. After manage to surpass the previous record of demonstrators, a year earlier, and with the opening of the impeachment committee, which occurred days after the demonstrations, anti-Dilma groups decided not to call new mega protests in the country.
Besides the difficulty of repeating the numbers of fans, mainly weighed the fact that the case against the president have been initiated in the House of Representatives and the President of the House, Eduardo Cunha (PMDB-RJ), announce that the action will be played quickly, "as a process of this nature should be." The idea of the PMDB, accused the Supreme Court of Cassation and prosecuted in the legislature, is to define the situation of Dilma in plenary by mid-April.
"The truth is that with the impeachment already being processed, there is not enough time to convene another mega-event," explains Rubens Nunes, a lawyer and one of the Brazil Free Movement leaders, one of the leading pro-impeachment groups ally Come to the street.

The strategy, already applied since the end of last year and intensified in recent weeks, became the body pressure body on top of congressmen who have not yet defined position regarding the impeachment, in addition to strengthening the relations with parliamentary government opponents federal, whom the leaders of the movements have met regularly to strategize in order to garner more support in Congress.
The groups are also calling for anti-Dilma state leaders across the country to begin to join in the federal capital from this Monday (28), with an eye on increasing pressure for action in the House. iG's survey shows that most of the Impeachment Commission is in favor of impeachment against the President (28-24) and only 13 deputies follow undecided about the action, with great tendency to support it.
Counterattack from the left
While the groups opposed to President leave aside the mega-demonstrations, militancy linked to the Workers' Party is the opposite movement, trying to look on the streets the support lost due to political and economic crisis that strikes with increasing force on the Planalto Palace.

"It's funny anti-Dilma movements say that there is no time to call for new mass protests. Until April 17, when the Cunha intend to vote in plenary on the impeachment, we'll have a thousand acts, including cultural activities and mega- demonstrations, "said Maristela Matos, national secretary for mobilization of PT. "But they think the impeachment, the coup, is already guaranteed. That's what we'll see."
