Evão participate together in a demonstration against Amnesty and the PEC of the Armagem, scheduled to take place this Sunday (21), at Copacabana Beach, in Rio de Janeiro. A musical act is expected to occur with the participation of the three artists. Djavan’s presence was also confirmed after the announcement of the participation of the three.
The protest is scheduled to happen from 14h at the time of post 5.
There will be acts on Sunday also in at least 33 cities across the country, including 22 capitals. They are being summoned by the PEOPLE without fear and popular Brazil Front, which bring together movements such as the MST (Landless Rural Workers Movement) and MTST (Homeless Workers Movement) and other left-linked groups.
For the organization, the presence of artists in Rio de Janeiro helps attract an audience that is not necessarily linked to social and left movements. “This gives us a more general stamp of movement,” says Raimundo Bonfim, coordinator of the Popular Movement Center and the Popular Brazil Front.
“These artists reach audiences that we, from the social and popular movements of left, have not achieved. They also have an image very linked to the important moments of struggle in defense of democracy,” he says to Sheet.
According to, they should participate in the demonstration in the state capital, in front of the MASP (Museum of Art of São Paulo), presidents of left and parliamentarians. At first, there should be no ministers, even not to intensify the executive’s friction with Congress.
The motto of acts should be against amnesty and the PEC of Armage and the advance in the congress of projects such as income tax exemption for those who earn up to R $ 5,000 and the end of scale 6 by 1.
Approved this week in the House, the armor PEC makes it difficult to investigate parliamentarians. According to the text, which still needs to go through the Senate, deputies and senators can only be processed after authorization from the Legislature. Likewise, the proposal reestablish the possibility of secret vote to authorize the opening of criminal proceedings against parliamentarians.
Twelve of the 69 PT deputies voted in favor of the PEC, disobeying the party’s orientation to go against the proposal. The petistas who voted for the Yes argued that the posture was with the mayor, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), to try to block the advance of the agenda of the amnesty.
The group has been hard attacked in both social networks
In recent days, several artists have started to position themselves against PEC, who dubbed the banditry PEC.
Caetano regimented his colleagues through the social network, through the organization 342 arts, led by his wife and businesswoman, Paula Lavigne.
“The banditry PEC has to receive a healthy, socially healthy response, a demonstration that much of the Brazilian population does not admit such a business,” Caetano said in video.
According to him, protesting against PEC becomes even more important at a time when discussing amnesty for those convicted of January 8, 2023, including former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), convicted of a coup attempted. The Union of Chico, Caetano and Gil, three of the most important names in the history of Brazilian popular music, is a rare moment in recent decades of MPB.
The House approved this week the urgency of the Amnesty Bill, allowing the accelerated process of the proposal, which will not have to undergo committees.
O, Deputy (SP), who is president of Solidarity, said he intends to transform her into a project focused on the reduction of penalties.
