Brazilian protesters call for President Dilma Rousseff's impeachment 딜마 루세프 대통령의 탄핵을 요구하는 브라질 시민들

Thousands gathered at the famous Copacabana beach in Rio calling for the president to step down 대통령의 하야를 촉구하는 수 천 명의 시민이 유명한 코파카바나 해변에 모여 있다

Tens of thousands of people have taken part in protests across Brazil calling for the impeachment of President Dilma Rousseff. 수 만 명의 시민들이 딜마 루세프 대통령의 탄핵을 요구하며 시위에 참여하고 있다

Support for Ms Rousseff has fallen to single-digit figures in recent polls.

Many voters have accused her of failing to stamp out corruption and blame her for the economy's worst slump in 25 years. 많은 유권자들은 현 대통령이 부패를 근절하는데 실패했고 최근 25년 동안 최악의 경제를 비판했다.

Marchers took over Copacabana beach in Rio and also demonstrated outside congress in the capital Brasilia.

Many wore the yellow shirts of the Brazilian football team, and sang the national anthem, carrying banners saying "Dilma Out".

Police said about 137,000 people took part, but tens of the thousands of others were also involved in a demonstration in Sao Paulo. 경찰은 13만7천명이 집회에 참가했다고 밝혔으나, 이 집회 외에도 수 만 명이 시위에 참가했다.

The national day of action is the third major protest against Ms Rousseff and her left-wing Workers' Part this year. Hundreds of thousands took part in demonstrations in March and April. 지난 3월과 4월에도 수십만 명의 시민들이 데모를 벌이기도 했다.

"We want things to change and if the people don't go in the street that's impossible," said retired engineer Elino Alves de Moraes, who joined the march in Brasilia. "우리는 변화되는 걸 원한다. 그래서 사람들이 길거리로 나서지 않는다면, 그것은 불가능한 일이 된다."

Ms Rousseff is less than a year into her second term as president. 루세프 대통령은 두번째 임기를 맞은지 채 1년도 안 된 상황이다.

There have also been demonstrations in recent months showing support for the embattled leader, with many claiming calls for her impeachment amount to a coup attempt. 쿠데타 시도에 이르는 대통령의 탄핵을 요구하는 많은 시위에 맞서, 최근 몇 달간 공세에 시달리는 대통령을 옹오하는 데모도 있었다.

People took to the streets to demand the impeachment of Dilma Rousseff, even though the perceived mood across the country in recent days has been one of reconciliation.

There's been an acceptance that to remove a democratically elected president might do more harm than good to a country which only emerged from military dictatorship three decades ago.

Overwhelmingly white and middle class, the protesters in Sao Paulo were having none of that argument.

In generally jovial mood, they condemned the ruling Workers Party for its role in the unprecedented corruption scandal surrounding Petrobras.

Ms Rousseff may have more to worry about further down the line, if Brazil's economy continues to decline after a decade of growth.

If inflation creeps above 10% and the economy goes into recession, that could alienate not only the privileged protesters of Sao Paulo, but her own working class base.

Anti-government protesters say Ms Rouseff must have known about a corruption scandal in the state oil firm, Petrobras, as alleged bribery took place when she was head of the company.

She was exonerated in an investigation by the attorney general and denies involvement. However, several senior members of her government have been implicated.그녀는 법무장관이 진행한 수사에서 무혐의 처분을 받았으며 관련사실을 부인하고 있다. 그러나 현 정부 고위관료들 여러 명은 연루되었음이 드러났다.

Government austerity measures are also hugely unpopular with the electorate, correspondents say, as are rising unemployment and inflation rates.

A survey by the Brazilian company Datafolha showed support for Ms Rousseff's impeachment was strongest in the poorest areas, which backed her in the last election.
