Protests Sweep Latin America as Bush Begins Five-Nation Tour
Listen
Protests have begun across Latin America as President Bush begins a five-nation tour. In Brazil, over 30,000 people took to the streets of Sao Paulo on Thursday. In the coming days protests are also scheduled in Uruguay, Colombia, Guatemala and Mexico. Today we are going to look extensively at President Bush’s visit to the region. In a few minutes we will be joined by a leading member of the opposition in Colombia, but first we go to Montevideo, the capital of Uruguay, where protesters are preparing for President Bush’s visit.
