Soldiers on alert after ongoing unrest as demonstrators take to the streets calling for removal of scandal - mired President Michel Temer.
Troops were guarding federal buildings in Brazil's capital early on thursday as the president struggles to hang onto power amid an outcry over corruption allegations and protesters demanding his resignation forced the evacuations of several ministries.
With tens of thousands of demonstrators in the streets and lawmarkers in the streets and lawmakers in congress calling for his ouster, President Michel Temer ordered soldiers deployed in Brasilia on Wednesday. The Defence Ministry said 1, 500, soldiers were being used.
What began as small scuffles between police and protesters who tried to jump a cordon mushroomed into a series of confrontations in which officiers fired tear gas and pepper spray to contain the crowd.
