Groups of supporters and detractors of the Brazilian president, Jair Bolsonaro, faced this Sunday in demonstrations that mixed the political and health crises in Brazil, one of the countries most affected by COVID-19.

Bolsonaro on Sunday ignored the seriousness of COVID-19, which already leaves almost 30 thousand deaths in the country, and attended a demonstration with thousands of people.

The event took place at the gates of the Planalto Presidential Palace, and as has happened in demonstrations that ‘Bolsonarism’ held on recent Sundays, the people protested against Congress and the Supreme Court, which according to supporters of the extreme right’s leader ‘conspire’ against the Government.
