Watch (1min16s):
Gleisi participated in the event in Salvador organized by left-wing parties and organizations this Saturday (23.mar.2024). The demonstration is part of a national mobilization that is being carried out in 16 capitals. In the capital of Bahia, the protest was held in Largo do Pelourinho and started at 3pm.
The demonstrations began to be planned days after the February 25th event organized by the former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) on Avenida Paulista, in São Paulo. The initiative by left-wing parties and organizations is an attempt to react by showing that they can gather large numbers of people on the streets and thus respond to Bolsonarist acts.
The events called for had, in general, a depleted audience. Photos and videos on social media show how the mobilizations took place in Brazilian capitals.
The demonstrations across Brazil had diffuse agendas. They recalled the 1964 military coup d'état, asked that there be no amnesty for those involved in the January 8 attacks and demanded an end to the “genocide in Palestine”.
The acts are organized by fronts Brazil Popular It is Fearless Peoplewith the support of entities such as CUT (Central Única dos Trabalhadores) and MST (Landless Rural Workers Movement), and parties such as PT, the president Luiz Inácio Lula da SilvaPC do B and Psol.
