Brazil’s MASSIVE Independence Day PROTESTS! supporting President Bolsonaro

Supporters of Brazil’s President Jair Bolsonaro are marching en masse across the country on national day as prominent leftwing figures claim he is planning a 'coup' ahead of next year’s election.

Bolsonaro is expected to speak in the capital Brasilia before moving onto Sao Paolo to address his supporters in a downtown location – hoping the rallies will help him garner support after recent polls had him losing to former president Lula.

Security has been ramped up and footage shows thousands of people at the rally in Brasilia, with counter demonstrations also expected.
