Prime Minister Shinzo Abe met Monday with new Brazilian President Michel Temer to discuss strengthening ties between the two countries.

“The coup president of Brazil said that our demonstration would have 40 people”.
Anti-Temer demonstrations that started earlier in the week grew on Friday, with protesters in Sao Paulo and several other cities clashing with police, blocking roads and destroying bus stops and store fronts. Police said they were forced to act to prevent vandalism.
Japan and Brazil have been working with India and Germany, forming what they call the Group of Four, to seek representation as permanent members on an enlarged Security Council.
Reports say it was the largest demonstration against Temer since he was sworn in as president for the remainder of Rousseff’s term through 2018. If Temer claimed the right to use the vice presidency to assume the Presidency of the Republic, he also has to use that condition to comply with the program that gave me the mandate at the polls (with the vote of more than 54 million voters), she said. I don’t have it numerically, but they are 40, 50, 100 people.
Nicaragua’s representative, Luis Ezequiel Alvarado, said the Brazilian Senate had put a dramatic end to 13 years of leftist governance in the country. Ms Rousseff had denied the charges.
Temer, Rousseff’s former vice president-turned-enemy, was sworn in on Wednesday, just hours after Rousseff’s impeachment trial ended with her ouster from office. Many held banners saying “Out with Temer” and “Direct Elections now”. In Sao Paulo, Gustavo Amigo said: “We’re here to show that the people still have power and that despite the coup, we are here in the street to bring down the government and call for a new election”.
This followed the position of the Foreign Ministry’s statement the day after Rousseff’s impeachment.
