The demonstrations have become the largest political protests seen in the country’s democratic history, a fact that puts even more pressure on the Rousseff administration.
“I don’t want to live in another country, I want to live in another Brazil,” the crowd sang in Copacabana.
PMDB members head up six of the country’s 31 ministries and hold 67 out of 513 seats in the Chamber of Deputies.
At the same time, the Superior Electoral Court is examining the possibility of contesting the election of Rousseff and Vice President Michel Temer, of the Brazilian Democratic Movement Party (PMDB), over alleged irregularities during the 2014 campaign.
According to O Globo newspaper, about three million people participated in the demonstrations on Sunday.
