Hundreds of demonstrators take part in a protest against Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on October 2.
Tens of thousands of protesters marched in cities across Brazil Saturday, calling for President Jair Bolsonaro's impeachment over his government's handling of the COVID-19 pandemic, per Reuters.
Why it matters: 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 poor approval ratings.
