Anti-Bolsonaro Protest Numbers Potentially Underwhelm Organisers

BRAZIL
  • Anti-Bolsonaro protests on Saturday in Brazil may have been smaller than expectations. According to police estimates, only 5500 showed up in São Paulo, half the size of a few weeks ago. While the police figures may not provide the exact numbers, analysts have described the event as not the game-changing moment the organisers were hoping for.
    • Polling statistics indicate most Brazilians disapprove of the president but appear potentially are willing to wait until the election to show displeasure.
    • Panel: Despite protests, leaders of the centre say that Congress still has no climate to analyse impeachment. (Folha)
  • Decree to extend the emergency aid will be published in the Official Gazette on Monday, O Globo newspaper reports, citing unnamed people familiar with the matter.
    • New round of cash handouts begins on August 18.
    • In addition to the emergency aid extension decree, the govt will also issue a provisional measure allowing 20.3b reais in extraordinary credits, not subject to the spending ceiling.
