On Brazil's Independence Day, celebrated this Monday, several cities across the country were the scene of political demonstrations a few weeks before the presidential elections.
In São Paulo, hundreds of supporters of Jair Bolsonaro gathered for a demonstration in support of the president, his father, taking advantage of the symbolic date to show support for the current government.
In Rio de Janeiro, the traditional march called "Grito dos Excluídos" took place, which brought to the streets demonstrators who protested against social and economic inequality in the country.
The demonstrations happened simultaneously in several Brazilian cities, reflecting the political and social tensions that mark the pre-electoral period in Brazil.
