Flávio Bolsonaro supporters gather in Paulista for demonstration

Supporters of presidential candidate Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) gather on Avenida Paulista this Sunday morning (18) for a rally for the candidate.

The act was called after the left-wing demonstration, in favor of President Lula (PT), in the same location last Sunday (11). The event, at the time, occupied 12 blocks of the avenue.

Flávio arrived at the event at around 11:15 am and will give his speech on one of the sound cars at the venue. On Sunday night, he will attend a debate promoted by Band and other press outlets, also in São Paulo.

Around 11am, Avenida Paulista had more protesters concentrated between Rua Augusta and Masp. The main gathering point, at the McDonald's restaurant, is almost impassable for pedestrians due to the crowds.

Blockades near Mario Covas park prevent people from getting close, causing back and forth.

The re-elected governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), also attended.

Funk and slogans liven up the audience, made up of many middle-aged people, elderly people and families.

"Whoever stands still is a PT member in disguise" is the most sung refrain, a type of signal to which protesters respond with jumps and waves.
