Trying to hide the "Out with Temer" Carnival is like trying to mop up ice.

Carnival 2017 was the Carnival of "Out with Temer." The videos arrive through WhatsApp groups, Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, but are banned from corporate media, especially TV. Globo is leading the way, of course. Nobody understands the logic behind this censorship.

How many videos of Carnival groups chanting "Out with Temer" have you received since last week? Dozens, right?

Carnival 2017 was the Carnival of "Out with Temer". The videos arrive through WhatsApp groups, Facebook, Twitter, and blogs, but are banned from corporate media, especially TV.

Globo is in the lead, of course.

Nobody understands the logic behind this censorship. It's impossible to hide huge crowds shouting, singing, and dancing "Out with Temer" at the top of their lungs.

This anti-democratic and disrespectful attitude towards the public is certainly being noticed from North to South of the country and, just wait, it will be another nail in the coffin for the coup plotters.

Images of gigantic crowds chanting “Out with Temer” during Carnival are spreading across television and major news websites worldwide. There are so many images. Trying to hide them is like trying to mop up ice.

Below is a selection of a small portion of the videos that are circulating online.
