Hundreds Mobilize in More Than 20 Countries Against Bolsonaro

Published 28 June 2020 (5 hours 9 minutes ago)

Brazilians residing abroad called Sunday on people to protest both in the streets and virtually in 60 cities and 23 countries against Brazil’s Jair Bolsonaro for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, his "fascism," and to defend democracy.

The event called #StopBolsonaroMundial (World Stop Bolsonaro) featured demonstrations in cities such as Munich, Berlin, and Frankfurt (Germany), Barcelona and Madrid (Spain), Paris (France), Rome (Italy), Zurich and Geneva ( Switzerland) and Dublin (Ireland).

In Brazil, 13 cities including Rio de Janeiro, Sao Paulo, Brasilia, Belem, Porto Alegre and Campinas confirmed their participation.

“This Sunday, the entire world will demonstrate against fascism in Brazil and the psychopathic President Jair Bolsonaro. It is the world #StopBolsonaro day,” the Central Workers' Union secretary of international relations, Antonio Lisboa, said in a video released on social media to promote the event.
