HUGE demonstrations rocked over 40 cities in Brazil on Saturday demanding the impeachment of President Jair Bolsonaro.
The National Day of Struggle was called by the Fora Bolsonaro (Bolsonaro Out!) campaign, backed by the Workers Party of former president Luiz Inacio “Lula” da Silva, the Communist Party and many other left forces in response to the far-right leader’s “genocidal” policies during the coronavirus crisis, which has killed over 525,000 Brazilians, the second-highest total worldwide after the United States.
The Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB) mobilised thousands, calling people to march with “masks on your faces, sanitiser in your hands and readiness to fight in your hearts.”
