Rio de Janeiro: Thousands march in support of Lula against Flávio Bolsonaro
Thousands of students and protesters marched through downtown Rio de Janeiro to support incumbent President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva and express opposition to Flávio Bolsonaro. The demonstration, organized by entities such as the National Student Union (UNE), follows a first-round election result where Flávio Bolsonaro led with 47.03% of the vote, compared to Lula's 45.16%.
Protesters advocated for public education, social rights, and the end of the 6x1 work schedule. Many participants expressed fears regarding the potential return of far-right policies and threats to democracy. The marchers also criticized the previous administration of Jair Bolsonaro, specifically citing his handling of the COVID-19 pandemic and cuts to public universities.
In contrast, Flávio Bolsonaro has secured political support from figures such as former Goiás Governor Ronaldo Caiado and the Parliamentary Front of Agribusiness (FAP). The two candidates are set to face each other in a presidential run-off election scheduled for October 25.
