President Jair Bolsonaro (without a party) called members of so-called anti-fascist groups who are promoting protests against his government marginal and terrorists. In front of the Palácio da Alvorada, he also defended legal backing for police action in the demonstrations.
"It started here with Antifa in the field. The reason, in my opinion, political, different [from that of the protests in the USA]. They are marginal, in my understanding, terrorists. On Sunday, they threatened to make movements for Brazil, especially here in DF, " Bolsonaro said Tuesday night (2), according to a recording released by his supporters.
On Monday (1st), the president told his supporters not to go to the streets next Sunday (7), as they do every weekend since this is will be a protest against fascism and in opposition to the Bolsonaro government.

However, the president's assistants do not know what he will do because, in March, at the beginning of the new coronavirus pandemic, he advised his supporters not to protest. However, he still attended the March 15 act.
