    Pro-Rousseff march turnout no match for Sunday's antigovernment protest

    Organizers said some 172,000 people turned out around the country in more than two dozen cities. Police 70.000 in Rio and 40.000 in Sao Paulo

    Brazil unions and left groups staged a string of protests in a show of support for President Dilma Rousseff, although turnout was markedly lower than at massive anti-government rallies over the weekend. The protests hit back at the growing push to impeach Rousseff, who less than a year into her second term is struggling for political survival.
