Brazil: Protest in Curitiba and other southeastern cities on May 21
Supporters of Deltan Dallagnol plan to protest in several southeastern cities in Brazil on May 21. Largest gathering is likely in Curitiba.
Event
Supporters of Deltan Dallagnol plan to protest in multiple locations on May 21. The gatherings oppose a recent electoral court decision to revoke the term of Dallagnol. Dallagnol is a local politician elected during the 2022 Brazilian election to represent Parana State in the Chamber of Deputies. The largest demonstration is likely to be held at the Federal Public Ministry in Curitiba from 15:00. Activists are also calling for gatherings in other areas:
Balneario Camboriu, Santa Catarina: Praca Almirante Tamandare from 15:00.
Londrina, Parana: Concha Acustica from 14:00.
Maringa, Parana: Avenida Gastao Vidigal from 15:00.
Sao Paulo: Viaduto 23 de Maio from 14:00
Rio de Janeiro: Posto 5 Copacabana from 14:00.
Vitoria, Espirito Santo: Public Prosecution Office from 10:00.
The likely turnouts are unclear. Officials will likely deploy security personnel to monitor the events. Authorities could close roads in the impact areas to facilitate the gatherings. Confrontations between demonstrators and police are possible if protesters are overly disruptive. Localized ground travel delays are potential near each event.
Advice
Avoid protests to mitigate disruptions. Heed the instructions of local officials. Plan for some road travel delays near protest sites. If confrontations occur leave the area immediately.
