Brazil's president is under pressure again.
During the course of this year, Jair Bolsonaro managed to unite left-wing parties, trade unions and social organizations as they tried to get him impeached.
He is mainly accused of mishandling the pandemic - and possibly being responsible for the deaths of thousands of people.
Brazilians have also accused him of corruption, a disregard for the environment and policies they say are fueling the economic crisis.
Bolsonaro announced a government reshuffle, but that's only angered more people who say the president is a threat to democracy.
So, who's likely to win this battle?
