Brazilian Spring protesters block Avenida 23 de Maio in São Paulo
Brazilian Spring demonstrators opposed to the election of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT, progressive-globalist) because they believe the whole thing was rigged, blocked this Sunday afternoon (Jan. 8) the Avenida 23 de Maio, in the south of São Paulo.
According to images posted on social networks, the participants wear green and yellow colors and carry Brazilian flags.
For now, according to the Military Police, the act remains peaceful.
Also this afternoon, protesters broke through the blockade made on the Esplanade of Ministries by the Military Police of the Federal District.

They invaded the National Congress, the Supreme Court, and Planalto in Brasilia.
(In large banners, the protesters who invaded the National Congress demanded the release of the source code of the electronic presidential elections, which are considered rigged by many Brazilians.)
