In Sao Paulo, the protesters gathered at the Sao Paulo Museum of Art (MASP), on the iconic Avenida Paulista at 4:00 pm local time (1:00 pm, CDMX time), from where about three kilometers to the city center.
“In this 2022, as incredible as it may be, our main claim is respect for being women, black women, with disabilities, trans women. We only want respect and equal rights,” cultural producer Katia Camargo told Efe.
The Brazilians also asked, in the middle of the year of presidential elections, the fall of Bolsonaro, whom many accuse of maintaining sexist or racist positions that were even denounced in court.
“We are here in the street to say ‘Bolsonaro out’, because he is one of the main people responsible for the lack of respect that we are seeing. He uncovered a series of things that we assumed were extinct, he is the spokesman for the worst thing that exists in humanity,” stressed Camargo.
For this reason, he ruled that it is “necessary” to remove him from power, as well as all those who represent the “power of the patriarchy, which is sexist, misogynist, homophobic and able-bodied.”
A pink president?
Many have criticized Bolsonaro for his statements considered misogynistic and sexist. For example, in 2014, the then deputy insulted a colleague of hers by assuring that he “would never rape her” for being “very ugly.”
