Dictatorship is a much more recent memory in Brazil

Only one proper way to protest a person that is above the law: A Nuermberg, but run by people.

Didn't Lula already rule it out?

Unfortunately, Congress is trying to pass an amnesty to both Bolsonaro and his suporters that invaded and destroyed the congress building

This protest is against that, and a constitution change they are also trying to do to prohibit deputies of being arrested unless the own congress takes an anonymous vote to permit the arrest

People are very angry about it
