Brazil: Activists plan motorcycle rally through central Sao Paulo on July 14
Bolsonaro supporters plan to hold motorcycle rally in Sao Paulo, Brazil, July 14; increased security, transport disruptions likely.
Activists plan to stage a motorcycle rally in Sao Paulo on July 14. Participants will gather at 10:00 in front of Sao Paulo's Anhembi Sambadrome before driving through the city; the exact route remains unclear. The motorcade will end outside the Museum of Art of Sao Paulo Assis Chateaubriand (MASP) on Avenida Paulista, where an anti-government protest is also planned from 14:00. The amount of participants the event may draw remains unclear; however, large crowds are expected.
The rally will likely prompt a significant deployment of police and cause transport disruptions. Counter-demonstrations are also possible; isolated clashes between supporters of opposing political camps cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the rally and any counter-demonstrations as a standard security precaution. If violence breaks out, leave the area immediately and seek shelter in the nearest secure location. Allow extra time for travel within the city of Sao Paulo on July 14. Heed instructions from authorities.
