Tens of thousands of protesters marched through cities across Brazil on Saturday, calling for the impeachment of President Jair Bolsonaro for his government’s handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, by Reuters.

Why is this important: Brazil’s Senate is holding hearings that could lead to Bolsonaro’s impeachment as the country’s Supreme Court investigates his government’s handling of coronavirus vaccine contracts. Bolsonaro has threatened to reject the results of Brazil’s October 2022 presidential election amid low approval ratings.
