Brazil rose up against the amnesty and the "Banditism Amendment."

This Sunday (21), thousands of Brazilians mobilized in several cities across the country to protest against the approval of the PEC of Banditry and the urgency regime for the amnesty project for coup plotters. Called by the Popular Brazil and People Without Fear fronts, with the support of several artists, the demonstrations demonstrated the grandeur and symbolism of popular resistance against measures that threaten democracy, should the amnesty be approved and hinder criminal investigations against deputies and senators.

The "PEC da Bandidagem" (Amendment to the Constitution regarding banditry) and the amnesty for coup plotters are a clear attempt to shield those who participated in, supported, and financed the attempted coup d'état and who practice corruption. The demonstrations show that the people are not willing to accept amnesty for coup plotters and privileges for deputies and senators.

Protesters across the country expressed their outrage and concern over the possibility of amnesty for those who committed serious crimes, such as attacks on democracy. Granting amnesty to the coup plotters would be a fatal blow to democracy and the rule of law.

"No to amnesty and no to the 'PEC of banditry'" was the cry that echoed throughout Brazil. The demonstrations were marked by a large popular mobilization, with thousands of people participating in various cities across the country. The magnitude of the demonstrations shows that the Brazilian people are willing to mobilize and defend democracy and bury the 'PEC of banditry'.

The demonstrations against the "PEC da Bandidagem" (Amendment to the Constitution regarding criminal activity) and the amnesty are an important symbol of popular resistance against amnesty for coup plotters, in defense of democracy and rights, and against parliamentary impunity.
