TEHRAN, May 16 - Tens of thousands of protesters gathered in cities across Brazil on Wednesday to rally against education spending freezes made by Jair Bolsonaro’s government as part of a wider government effort to reduce spending.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - On Wednesday Brazil’s National Student Union called for protests against what it called spending cuts after the Education Ministry said it was freezing nearly a quarter of discretionary spending — $1.85 billion.
Marches took place in over 200 cities, according to a count by the Globo TV network, gathering reportedly 150,000 across the country.
In the capital Brasilia, some 7,000 students and university professors marched to Congress, carrying signs against the cuts.
