Brazilian authorities were working Saturday to clear away the remains of barricades, burned-out buses and trash strewn about the streets during a general strike the previous day that saw violent clashes between protesters and police.
The demonstrations shut down transportation, schools and shops, with small groups smashing bank windows, hurling rocks and setting fires. Police responded with rubber bullets and tear gas.
In Rio de Janeiro, city workers on Saturday towed away the charred skeletons of eight buses that had been torched, and swept up garbage and broken glass littering the streets.
