Right-wing students rally in São Paulo for Flávio Bolsonaro
Right-wing students gathered in São Paulo to support Flávio Bolsonaro, a federal deputy from the Liberal Party.

What people are saying
Brazil can do much more.
More defense of the family, of free enterprise.
Lenin, that communist bastard, used to say that to make a revolution, we need to make young people stop thinking.
They have turned from student centers into centers of activism by damned communists who destroyed the brains of young people.
