Many Brazilians gathered to celebrate Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment with champagne and cake in one of Brazil´s most iconic areas, Paulista Avenue in São Paulo. They rejoiced over Rousseff ousting in front of the São Paulo Federation of Industries (FIESP), which had been actively lobbying for Rousseff’s removal. Others cried out for help on social media. “Please we need lawyers as witnesses, we have been arbitrarily detained,” wrote one man from Brasilia in social media. In the capital Brasilia photos on newspapers and social media showed people with bloody faces and rubber bullet wounds.
