Brazilian parliamentarians protested against Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad's visit to the South American state, local media reported.
In Brasilia MPs from the lower house unfolded a banner reading "No more Holocaust" condemning Ahmadinejad's denial of the Holocaust.
The Iranian leader arrived in the Brazilian capital on Monday in the hope to find support for his country's nuclear program that the West led by the U.S. suspects is aimed at building nuclear weapons.
On Sunday hundreds of people marched along Brazil's famed Ipanema Beach to protest against Ahmadinejad's visit. Organizers said not less than 1,500 people attended the demonstration, but police put the figure at 300.
Protestors, wearing all white and mainly representing Jewish, human rights and gay groups, urged Brazilian President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva to call off his talks with the Iranian leader.
"We are not against Iranian society, but we are against the president, who has denied the Holocaust and backs religious persecution," a spokesman for a Jewish group told RIA Novosti.
During Monday's talks Brazil and Iran signed eight intergovernmental agreements and protocols of intent, including on visa regime facilitation for diplomats, agriculture and scientific cooperation.
The Brazilian president spoke for Iran's right to develop a civilian nuclear program should the Islamic republic stick to international agreements.
Ahmadinejad was originally due to visit Brazil at the start of June, but his trip was delayed over preparations for the June 12 elections.
