Brazil protests. Pictures only.

It has spread to over 20 states capitals and other major cities. I'll try to put as many pictures as possible. please don't post I'll be updating with new pictures!

Great album

Police men are supporting the protests and the goverment is saying it has asked the police NOT to intervene (lie)

More pictures

Most news papers are saying the protests are happening because the city of São Paulo has increased it's bus fare. That's not true that was just the straw that broke the camels back. The increase is about 20 US cents but the real reason is that the bread and circus government has spent 28 billion reais preparing for next years world cup not to mention what it will spend with the Olympics while they keep increasing taxes and most of the people are sick of corporate interest dictating state policy and corruption in all levels of government.

Another big album

Interesting information, I've not had a chance to read everything and the first I am seeing tht.
Good pictures, and I hope member continue to post and comment her on them......

Facebook went down in Brazil a few hours ago. It was being used as the main information hub for protesters! BTW Brazil is supposed to be a democratic country! Only after HUGE backlash on twitter (they forgot tobring it down as well I suppose) and few hours later Facebook suddenly was online again! Main excuse by the mainstream media in Brazil is that Facebook is (was) offline in many countries at this moment.

Facebook offline

wow..now markzugenberg Joint With Them??

In Belo Horizonte the capital of Minas Gerais state and the 3rd biggest city in the country the State Government has asked for the National Guard to be deployed to the city. The excuse is that they need more workers to help the people coordinate the protests (BS story). Fact is the Belo Horizonte Police has said it won't intervene so the governor is mostly scared of what can happen to unprotected politicians!

Protests in Belo Horizonte

This is getting tired lol but I want you guys to see the truth! Not the makeover mainstream media is trying to spin worldwide.

City hall of São Paulo City has been taken! Prostesters are inside and the police did nothing to stop them a very different approach from earlier today when the police used brutal violence against protesters. Mayor and mainstream media are trying to spin as if they allowed the city hall to be taken yet another BS statement by them. I guess the police realized how police was acting in other states and cities and came to their senses and stopping 200k people would mean a huge blood bath!

City Hall of São Paulo City taken

Great to see the people standing against TPTB.

However, I hope it doesn't prevent me from seeing Argentina taking the cup home next year.

All over the country

São Paulo is literally burning! most are protesting peacefully but a few are over the limit!

São Paulo burning + other cities

Well, I live in Belo Horizonte, and all I have to say is: Tear Gas hurts a lot.
Seriously guys, if anyone here live here in Brazil, or anywhere, whatever, and is going to any kind of protest, first be sure to get something to cover your face, otherwise it'll be hard to stay there.

protests continue to take place today june 19th.

interstate highway in the state of são paulo has been blocked!

Thanks for your persistence in covering the uproars! I will keep an eye on this thread and hope the Brazilian people will be freed from corporate slavery soon!
