Brasilia, August 10 (RHC)-- As the Brazilian Senate prepared to vote on suspended President Dilma Rousseff’s impeachment trial Tuesday, the coup-imposed government of Michel Temer built a wall outside the National Congress to keep protesters from reaching the area.

Pro-Rousseff demonstrations are scheduled in Brasilia, the capital. In a video released on Tuesday, trucks are seen transporting materials toward the National Congress and municipal workers are constructing the wall, which appears to be about four feet high and at least two miles long.

Protests against the senate-imposed government have been multiplying in the weeks leading up to the 2016 Rio Olympics, with Temer decreeing that all Olympic protesters were subject to arrest, only to have it overturned by a judge who said that peaceful protests were legal.

Thousands of protesters are expected to come out against what is being called a "soft" coup and in support of Rousseff, who has led a progressive government under the banner of the Workers' Party since being democratically-elected in 2011.

In less than three months in office, Temer has shown that he and his coup backers intend on reversing economic, political and social gains that have benefited the poor and working classes in Brazil.
