"I mainly want to reiterate that my government is listening to the voice of democracy, we must learn to hear the voice of the streets, Rousseff said:" The governor and the mayor. "We must all, without exception, to understand these signals with humility and accuracy."
Rousseff said she will push to hold a referendum on political reform debate - a special Constituent Assembly will hear from the Brazilian citizens to improve Brazil's political system, what actions are needed. She also said that her government will focus on five priorities: fiscal responsibility and control of inflation; political reform health care, public transport and education.
The protesters have filled in this continent-sized country of poor urban air public service and $ 1 billion in spending to prepare for next year's World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Brazil dissatisfaction, including extensive.
Mayara 隆戈维维安, Rousseff met in Brasilia fare free movement leaders, he said, no specific measures to the Group, as well as their "struggle will continue." Sports since 2006 has been committed to the elimination of public transport fares.
Vivian mention the billions of dollars spent hosting the World Cup in Brazil, he said, "If they have money to build stadiums, they have money zero tariff" in public transport.

"This is a necessary first step, but it is not a particularly meaningful, nor surprising one," she said. "Whether Dilma here nor any other politician can even understand, let alone put into practice the systemic change that person's request, not just in their world view."
Monday also marks the hands-on approach in the face of sharp criticism of Rousseff, she has been too silent protest last week. June 17 she only made a brief comment, and then a 10-minute, pre-recorded national address Friday, one week later, after a day to protest the explosion, millions of people took to the streets, sometimes violent protests.
Since then, demonstrations have narrowed, become less common. Rousseff, seeking to get off her high heels, looking stronger on Monday as she put her agenda.
Many of the tools listed her progress, including the use of oil royalties to fund education and programs to attract foreign doctors working in the field of shortage of doctors in Brazil, Rousseff has been made before, but met in Congress fierce resistance. By putting the issue before the public, at this sensitive time, the General Assembly president ratchet pressure on institutions generally dislike the population can not be recommended as a bottleneck.
