Brazil, demonstrations in 200 cities for Bolsonaro’s impeachment

Tens of thousands of people took part in the protest, in over 200 Brazilian cities, to demand the impeachment of Jair Bolsonaro under accusation for the catastrophic response to Covid which claimed almost half a million victims in Brazil. “Today is a decisive moment in the battle to defeat the Bolsonaro genocidal administration,” said Silvia de Mendonça, a 55-year-old human rights activist who demonstrated in Rio. “We cannot lose other Brazilians, we must take to the streets every day until the government falls,” Osvaldo Bazani, 48, who lost his younger brother to Covid, told the Guardian.
