(21 Oct 2018) Thousands of people attended a demonstration against the Workers Party and in support of the far right candidate Jair Bolsonaro in Rio de Janeiro on Sunday. Wearing t-shirts with the picture of the candidate and carrying Brazilian flags, the demonstrators gathered in Copacabana, where shouted slogans against the PT (Workers Party) and in support of the former army captain, Bolsonaro. One week before going to the polls, Brazilians faced one of the most polarized elections in years, where 147 million people will chose the next president, voting between Jair Bolsonaro, a former army captain, known for his speech against women, black people and indigenous people and who won the first round on Oct. 7, and Fernando Haddad –a former minister of education and former mayor of Sao Paulo- of the Workers' Party that governed Brazil between 2003 and 2016.
