    Demonstrators break into the Brazilian Lower House

    Several of the protesters shouted slogans against the government of Michel Temer and against corruption, calling for a military coup

    About 50 demonstrators on Wednesday invaded the Brazilian Chamber of Deputies causing chaos and forcing lawmakers to suspend the congressional session. The protesters, who had been demonstrating against social budget cuts outside the chamber, managed to get through the door and into the lower house itself after deceiving security agents tasked with restricting access.
