Brazil is in revolt. What started as a protest about a R$0.20 rise in bus fares has turned into a mass nationwide movement .

Page 4: Brazilian protests – June 2013

Over a million people took the streets

In a country often seen as politically passive, a silent majority was finding its voice. Until now they discussed these problems individually with resignation, saying ‘that’s just the way Brazil is’. Now they are demanding change.

The participants were predominantly young, but the movement resonates far beyond them.

Events are moving fast with protests growing and spreading to new cities each day, and it is far from clear when or how it will end.

But it’s not just about 20 cents

"“Their bright banners bore diverse demands” says Julia Carneiro from BBC Brasil ”but all

reflected a fatigue with what people here get from the state.

I repeatedly heard the word “tired”: protesters told me they were tired of corruption, of

nepotism, of high taxes paid for poor public services."

of their own people."

“The people have woken up. The bus fare hike was just the moment of awakening. Now we are

We are tired man, this is the time to fight. Enough injustice,” said one protester draped in a

Brazilian flag, Leandro Pergula.”
