The Military Police used tear gas bombs to contain a clash between demonstration groups on Paulista Avenue, in São Paulo, on Monday morning (7). The reinforcement in policing was made due to the demonstrations scheduled for the September 7th holiday.
According to accounts obtained by the newspaper O Globo, a left-wing group came to the location carrying banners against Governor Tarcísio de Freitas and tried to access Paulista Avenue, where an event was scheduled with the presence of the presidential candidate for PL, Jair Bolsonaro's son, Flávio Bolsonaro.
In the region of Peixoto Gomide Street with Alameda Santos, the left-wing protesters met a group of supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro who were heading to the right-wing demonstration. The Public Security Secretariat (SSP) reported that one group tried to invade the space intended for the other, which led security forces to intervene to control the situation.
