Resumo

Despite having won the Brazilian elections in 2014 the president Dilma Rousseff faced a wave of protests in 2015 asking for her impeachment. This sentiment of dissatisfaction was reinforced by the tight results together with accusations of corruption. Protests were organized and reported chiefly with the use of Social Networks. Two main protests occurred on March in a two day interval, one supporting the elected government and the other against it. There were multiple requests coming from the protesters. In this work we perform an exploratory analysis of these protests by using two topic modeling algorithms. We analyze how the protesters organized themselves into groups, how they acted, and present a summary of their main demands and opinions. We could identify the groups, the multiple subjects of each group and the tactics used by the supporters to disqualift the opposition. (AU)
