One space was isolated, near Trianon Park, to allow the entrance of President Jair Bolsonaro, who is expected to arrive there.
So far, the mobilization is peaceful, with the presence of families with children. So much so that some stores remain open despite the intense flow of people on the Avenue.
Adoration of President Bolsonaro and especially criticism of the Supreme Court STF predominate. Banners and placards also call for military intervention.
On the streets and avenues around Paulista Avenue, there are many buses – from the various caravans of supporters of the president that came from other cities in the Southeast region and even from more distant points in the country.

Many of the supporters invested in posters with messages in English.
In the concentration of the demonstration, in São Paulo, which started before 10 am, it was possible to find messages in Italian, Spanish, and other languages.
Attorney Luiz Antonio dos Santos chose a message against the STF, one of the central themes of the demonstration. He criticized the so-called “dictatorship of the toga”, writing “dictatorship of the toga”.
