Brazil's Independence Day was marked by political demonstrations in several cities across the country. Hundreds of supporters of Flávio Bolsonaro gathered in São Paulo for a demonstration on this Monday, taking advantage of the symbolic date a few weeks before the presidential elections.
In Rio de Janeiro, the traditional march called "Grito dos Excluídos" took to the streets in a demonstration against social and economic inequality. The event gathered participants who took advantage of the commemorative date to protest about the living conditions of marginalized groups.
The demonstrations took place in parallel, reflecting the different political currents present in Brazilian society. While some groups expressed support for specific candidates, others focused on social and economic issues.
