Thousands of supporters of Brazil’s former President Jair Bolsonaro demonstrated in cities across the South American nation on Sunday, with the goal of boosting right-wing momentum for the upcoming presidential elections. Protesters, draped in the colors of the national flag, gathered in Sao Paulo, Rio de Janeiro, and Brasilia to voice their opposition to current President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, who is seeking re-election in October. Flávio Bolsonaro, the ex-president’s son and candidate against Lula, emphasized the importance of the upcoming elections in a message posted on Instagram before the demonstration.
