The protests were held in over 200 cities across 24 Brazilian states and the federal district on Saturday. Thousands of demonstrators were calling for more coronavirus vaccine purchases, better emergency healthcare services and better access to education. Calls for impeachment were also voiced, according to Globo News.
In Recife, the capital of Brazil’s northeastern state of Pernambuco, police had to use rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse the protesters.
