EEDYE is uniting its voice with the thousands of protesters in the United States. These mobilizations, in the "capital" of capitalism, show that the peoples have not yet said their last word.

The World Peace Council expresses its categorical and strongest condemnation of the cold-blooded assassination of George Floyd by the police force in Minneapolis, USA.

This recent killing of an unarmed civilian by the police is unfortunately not the first and only case in the United States. Neither is it a phenomenon of the current government only. More than 1,000 lives have been taken by the police every year for many decades, great majority of the them from African-American and other minority communities.

In Brazil people live as in a trance, from one nightmare to the other —sometimes, all at once.

The extreme-right group governing the country has advocated for arming its followers, who are instructed to react against opposition forces, social movements and the other Powers of the Republic, the Legislative and Judiciary. Demonstrators supporting the Bolsonaro Government are concentrated in front of the Government’s building, Palácio do Planalto, on the streets and in the squares of cities which are under quarantine and non-essential services are prohibited from opening.

No Brasil vive-se como em transe, de um pesadelo a outro — às vezes, todos ao mesmo tempo.

O grupo de extrema direita que governa o país tem investido em armar seus seguidores, orientados a reagir contra as forças de oposição, os movimentos sociais e os demais Poderes da República, o Legislativo e o Judiciário. Manifestantes que apoiam o governo Bolsonaro concentram-se em frente à sede do governo, o Palácio do Planalto, nas ruas e praças das cidades em quarentena e onde está proibido o funcionamento de serviços não essenciais.
