On the same day as the opening ceremony of the Olympics, various organizations of the 
Brazilian left held a protest in Rio de Janeiro. The demonstration was called for by three fronts: Brazil Popular Front, People Without Fear and Socialist Left.
“The earnings of the putschists are insatiable. But they ignore that in this world everything has contradictions” It seems as though Brazil’s destiny is determined in the month of August. It was the month of the crisis and suicide of President Getulio Vargas in the 50s. Then, in the 60s, the resignation of Jânio Quadros and the crisis of legality.

On the eve of the Summer Olympics here, 40 Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives published a letter Monday expressing “deep concern” about threats to democracy in Brazil.
The letter, addressed to U.S. Secretary of State John F. Kerry, criticized the impeachment process that led to the removal of President Dilma Rousseff in May to stand trial in the Senate on charges of breaking budgetary rules. If convicted, she will be permanently removed from office.
While she awaits trial, Vice President Michel Temer, an ally-turned-enemy, has taken over.
Social movements in Brazil on Tuesday, July 19, 2016, launched a symbolic International 
Tribunal for Democracy in Rio de Janeiro to put the ouster of suspended Dilma Rousseff, widely condemned as a parliamentary coup, on trial for its impact on the democratic order in the South American country.
Several teachers’ organizations, unions and social movements are promoting an open letter to the Senate against the Escola Sem Partido project. Please send your comments to professorescontraoesp@gmail.com

Marching through the streets of cities, the students reaffirmed their commitment to fight against the
privatization of public education.
