It certainly seems as though Dilma Roussef, the president of Brazil, is taking a different path than Recep Tayyip Erdogan, the Prime Minister of Turkey, in handling a national protest movement.
Public transportation was the initiating factor in the protests; Roussef vows to upgrade the system and will spend $22 billion doing it. Medical care was another major issue; Brazil will hire foreign doctors to ease the strain. She also proposed stiffer penalties for political corruption, increased teachers' pay and a plebiscite to determine whether Brazil should
convene a constituent assembly intended to carry out “political reform.
