Brazilian Finance Minister Henrique Meirelles said on Tuesday President Michel Temer's government will remain in power despite an investigation into the leader's alleged involvement in a growing political corruption scandal.
Meirelles also said the government maintains its commitment to passing an ambitious economic reform agenda. He told reporters he does not see any strong or relevant political figures seeking to reverse the proposed measures on changing labor and pension laws.
Opposition protesters have promised to continue their demonstrations calling for new elections and Temer's resignation.
