In the March of Rio de Janeiro, who gathered tens of thousands of people in the center of the city, were heard shouts such as “life, bread, vaccine, education” and the already classic “outside Bolsonaro genocida”.
At the head of the protest, the artist Mayra Rodrigues and her friends wavered Brazil flags torn.
“They are a symbol of the destruction that happened over us (…) to make evident the dramatic situation that our country lives, which was always known for joy and is now known for hatred, it was always known for beauty
