Brasilia, Feb 22 (Prensa Latina) Protesters in about 40 Brazilian cities took to the streets on Saturday and Sunday to call for the dismissal of President Jair Bolsonaro for his irresponsible behavior in the face of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Swamped by bumper-to-bumper vehicle and bicycle caravans, the riots also demanded the strengthening of the Covid-19 vaccination project and a R$ 600 (US$110) monthly relief till the pandemic is over.
Likewise, the national demonstration included the demand 'Vaccine Now' and free for the entire population, the strengthening of the Unified Health System (UHS) and job protection.
In all marches, Out Bolsonaro and Out Genocide chants were loudly heard, given the far-right president´s behavior, who treated the Covid-19 as a cold or flu.
To date, the coronavirus has claimed more than 246,000 deaths and 10 million infections in the country.
'Our people really need jobs, food and cheap fuel. They need a Brazilian government pledged to development and human dignity,' Gleisi Hoffmann, president of the Workers' Party (PT), said.
