Thousands of students gathered in central Rio de Janeiro to protest against the potential presidency of Flavio Bolsonaro, the son of former leader Jair Bolsonaro, ahead of the presidential runoff on October 25. Carrying banners declaring "Neither the father nor the son," demonstrators voiced their commitment to democracy, public education, and sovereignty, explicitly rejecting a return of the Bolsonaro family to power. Participants highlighted concerns regarding minority rights and criticized the former administration’s handling of the pandemic, which claimed over 700,000 lives in Brazil. Protesters also voiced opposition to a perceived alignment between Flavio Bolsonaro and the United States. Following his lead in the first round of voting against current president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, the candidate is now focused on winning over voters who remained neutral in the initial round.
