The President of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, suffered the worst cacerolazo of his two years and 15 days in office in all the capitals of the country, and even in the districts where in 2018 he had been the big winner, within the framework of the criticisms of its direction of the pandemic, the uncertainty over vaccination and the lack of oxygen in hospitals in Manaus, Amazonas.

The upper middle class neighborhoods of ManauThe stronghold of Bolsonaro in the 2018 elections and in the municipal elections of last November, showed a rejection of the president, in a city which suffers its second hospital collapse due to the pandemic, which left 208,246 dead.

Cacerolazos shouting “Bolsonaro and” Genocida “were heard in the popular and affluent neighborhoods of St.Paul and Rio de Janeiro, according to the media.

One of the organizers of the cacerolazo is the ultra-liberal businessman and TV host Luciano Huck, considered a presidential candidate by the Democratic Party for 2022, who in the second round of 2018 called on Bolsonaro to vote against Fernando Haddad, from the Left Workers Party.

Requests for resignation in the cacerolazo were preceded by a statement from the Speaker of the Chamber and deputies, Rodrigo Maia, which reduced the momentum of the opposition seeking a political trial, as he said that the impeachment process was something “to discuss the future”.

Bolsonaro has a parliamentary base capable of obstructing impeachment demands.

The cacerolazos were only led by the left-wing opposition in March, when the president questioned the existence of a pandemic. This Friday, they were massive.
