Even as the levels of poverty and unemployment have substantially decreased in Brazil, people have taken to the streets to demonstrate against the recent increase in bus fare. The protests, even though instigated by the rise in public transportation fares, have deeper reasons of dissatisfaction with the ruling government. Demands for cheaper public transportation and better social services in the country have been met with tear gas and water cannons by the police, particularly in the cities of Sao Paulo and Rio de Janeiro. Newsclick talks to Eloi Pieta, Founder Member of the Workers' Party in Brazil, about Brazilian people's discontent with their government, and the role of the youth.
