Brazilians: What we think of the protests

Brazilians cite corruption and lousy government services as key reasons that more than 1 million citizens are protesting.

Milton Gazzano Júnior, 25, consultant

I believe that, even though the public transport fare raise was revoked, people are still eager to go to the streets to demand better public services and a country free from corruption.

It's clear that we are going through a political crisis, but we cannot let this turn into a rejection of political parties. That would be a great regression for our democracy. What we need is new leaderships capable of organizing new demonstrations with clear proposals.

I strongly believe that these demonstrations are important for people to engage in politics, and to be conscious that politics is the only way to make a better country for everyone.
