Various of Bolsonaro's supporters waving Brazilian flag as they sing the National Anthem STORYLINE: Leftists rallied in Sao Paulo on Sunday gathered to hear union leaders as well as the likely presidential candidate Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva. During the gathering in Brazil's most populous city, Sao Paulo, they called a for a massive voter turn-out by progressives in upcoming elections later this year as a repudiation of conservative candidate President Jair Bolsonaro. Activists waved socialist flags and held banners celebrating unions and socialists' parties, dancing to music and applauding the speeches of leftist leaders exhorting supporters to vote in the upcoming elections and bring progressive change to the country. In the seaside city of Rio de Janeiro, pro-Bolsonaro supporters rallied at the same time, denouncing the left as "a danger to the country." They were demanding changes to the country's electronic voting system to "protect the integrity" of the vote, echoing a charge made by Bolsonaro, without any proof the vote could be marred without the use of paper ballots. The competing rallies reflect the deep political divisions in the country, and indicate the upcoming elections later this year will be hard fought, and could cause a political crisis if either side rejects the final results. =========================================================== Clients are reminded: (i) to check the terms of their licence agreements for use of content outside news programming and that further advice and assistance can be obtained from the AP Archive on: Tel +44 (0) 20 7482 7482 Email: info@aparchive.com (ii) they should check with the applicable collecting society in their Territory regarding the clearance of any sound recording or performance included within the AP Television News service (iii) they have editorial responsibility for the use of all and any content included within the AP Television News service and for libel, privacy, compliance and third party rights applicable to their Territory.
