Journalists and digital influencers launch manifesto for freedom in Brazil

On Saturday, Nov. 12, artists, influencers, and journalists launched a manifesto defending freedom.

The three-minute video, posted on social media, highlights the participation of Brazilians in the protests against the alleged victory of Lula da Silva, which in their opinion, was not a victory but a fraud.

The participants in the video also criticize the “partiality” of the traditional press.

“We are living in a very delicate moment in our history, in which thousands of people have gone to the streets to demonstrate, to ask for transparency, for freedom, to clamor for the right to contest, to protest, to opine, to investigate, to distrust,” say the video participants.
