Brazil’s right-wing protests: A warning to the working class
18 March 2015
Media reports on Sunday’s right-wing protests in Brazil calling for the
ouster of Workers Party (Partido dos Trabalhadores—PT) President Dilma
Rousseff estimate the turnout at anywhere between one million and two
million people.
While these head counts are likely inflated for political reasons, the
protests nevertheless underscore the intense class polarization that
exists in Brazil, as well as the political dangers posed to the
Brazilian working class.
Folha de S. Paulo, Brazil’s largest circulation daily and by no means
unsympathetic to the right-wing politics of the demonstration, described
Sunday’s actions as “a protest of a rich, well-tended Brazil” driven by
concerns over the “continuous inflation of services” ranging from
“housekeepers to parking in the middle class Vila Madelena neighborhood,
as well as private schools and health insurance.” The protests were
noteworthy for raising no social demands whatsoever.
