A homemade explosive device exploded in a Brazilian city of Sao Paulo, near the rally of Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff supporters, local media reported.

MEXICO CITY (Sputnik) — Brazilian police started dispersion of the rally right after the blast, the Folha de Sao Paulo news website reported Tuesday.

Earlier in the day, a group of Rousseff supporters was attacked by her opponents.

​People started gathering in Sao Paulo, as well as in other cities across the country, on Monday, the day when the impeachment process against Rousseff opened. Earlier in the day, protesters burned tires, blocking several streets in Sao Paulo.

The protesters are unsatisfied with acting Brazilian President Michel Temer's austerity program and fear that he may remain in office if Rousseff is impeached.
