Rui calls on supporters for pro-Dilma rally.
The president of the PT (Workers' Party) released a video calling on allies for a "big rally" to be held in several cities on Tuesday the 31st; according to Rui Falcão, the demonstration will follow the same banners defended on the 13th, in a protest by CUT (Unified Workers' Central), UNE (National Union of Students) and MST (Landless Workers' Movement) in 23 states, praising President Dilma, making speeches "against the privatization" of Petrobras and attacking groups that are calling for impeachment.

SÃO PAULO - The president of the PT, Rui Falcão, began to release a video this Thursday (26), calling on "the militants and friends of the PT" for what he called "a great agitation" in several cities on the next 31st, Tuesday. This act repeats what was done at the beginning of this month, when a demonstration was held before the acts against the government carried out on the 15th.
The party has the support of some labor unions, such as CUT, and social movements, such as the MST. It's worth noting that a large anti-Dilma rally is being organized for April 12th, and organizers expect to bring more people to the streets across the country than attended the demonstrations this month.
Falcão says that the new actions on the 31st will follow the same banners defended in the demonstrations of the 13th, carried out by CUT, UNE and MST in 23 states, praising President Dilma, making speeches "against the privatization" of Petrobras and attacking the groups that are calling for the impeachment of the PT member. "We will mobilize in all cities, hold small events, plenary sessions, distribute leaflets. PT in the streets in defense of democracy, Petrobras, workers' rights and against corruption and political reform," says Falcão in the video.
