A face mask that reads ‘Bolsonaro out’ in Portuguese hangs from a line during a protest against the govt’s policies.
Brazil, the country with the second-highest number of infections and deaths worldwide after the US, has struggled to set a strategy for dealing with the pandemic. At Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, military police clutching riot shields used batons to push back people protesting under the slogan “Stop Bolsonaro”, as well as for Gay Pride day and against racism.
“Brazil is suffering immense pain, a hidden pain that throbs in the face of the incredible numbers of deaths caused by Covid-19,” the organisers said in a statement.
