Thousands of demonstrators, consisting mainly of students and civic groups, took to the streets of Rio de Janeiro to protest against Flavio Bolsonaro, according to reports from Al Jazeera. The march signifies widespread dissatisfaction as Flavio advanced to the presidential run-off in Brazil.

The protest slogans notably included 'No to the father, no to the son,' expressing clear opposition not only to Flavio Bolsonaro but also to his father, Jair Bolsonaro. This indicates a broader discontent with the Bolsonaro family, who have been prominent figures in Brazilian politics.

While the protests bespeak significant public disapproval, the Bolsonaro camp has yet to issue a statement addressing the demonstrations. The run-off election outcome remains to be seen, with the potential to further affect the political landscape in Brazil.
