On Sunday (31), new motorcades took place across the country, calling for the impeachment of President Jair Bolsonaro and the advance of vaccination against the covid-19. Protesters criticized the government’s actions in combating the pandemic and the failures involving the availability and purchase of vaccines. The act was held in several capitals, including the Federal District, São Paulo and Rio de Janeiro, on the eve of the election of the new presidents of the Brazilian parliament. The Chamber of deputies and federal Senate are expected to elect a new president this Monday, February 1st.
In São Paulo, the event had approximately 350 cars, according to the organizers. The motorcade started at Charles Miller Square, where the Pacaembu stadium is, passed by Avenida Paulista and closed in front of the Legislative Assembly.
Yesterday’s demonstration was smaller than last week, but it had more support from the population on the streets, as told in an interview with Dire agency, the national coordinator of the Central of Popular Movements (CMP), Raimundo Bonfim. “Today’s motorcade had fewer cars than the one on January 23, but the adhesion that we felt on the streets, including the people at the windows of the apartments was much greater, the people are not happy. So we realize that there is a greater adherence to “Fora Bolsonaro”.
Also according to Raimundo, this demonstration is part of an agenda of struggles. “This act was a ‘warm up’ for the act of February 21st, the date we intend to do the biggest motorcade for ‘Fora Bolsonaro’. The 21st for us is the” D “day, because we can’t stand anymore Bolsonaro presiding over the country. We cannot wait until 2022 (presidential election year) “.
