BRASILIA — Dignitaries and tourists arriving in this capital city Monday were greeted by bold posters lined up along the highway from the airport to the hotel district. The signs did not promote the Olympic torch relay, set to begin here early on Tuesday, but rather the deep discontent with Brazil president Dilma Rousseff.
"Tchau Querida!" blared one sign after the next. Translation: "Bye, Dear!"
A sizable portion of the population in Brasilia and around the nation want the president impeached, and it may happen in the next few weeks as the torch winds its way through this fractured country.
The Olympic torch will pass through 329 cities across all of the states from the north to the south of Brazil, until arriving in Rio de Janeiro on August 5, to light the cauldron at the start of the Olympics.
Conor McGregor posted his first public statement since withdrawing from UFC 303, but provided no specifics on the injury that forced him to cancel his match with Michael Chandler.
