Antiimperialist Protests and Actions in Recife
On April 2, close to the 62nd anniversary of the coup d’etat by the fascist military regime in Brazil. Activists in Recife demonstrated and commemorated the combatants who fell in the struggle against the fascist military dictatorship. A Nova Democracia (AND) reports that “demonstrators made speeches remembering the popular combatants who fell for the anti-fascist cause and they compared the political national situation of 2026 with the one in 1964, highlighting the progress of the popular struggles against the far right, in the service of Yankee imperialism in Brazil, and the decisive blows dealt against the imperialist cannibals by the peoples carrying national liberation struggles, as well as the Iranian and Palestinian peoples”. Several organizations were present, including the International Anti-imperialist League (AIL), Collective Mangue Vermelho (MV), Movement Ventania, the Support Committee for the Landless Peasants’s Struggle in Barro Branco/Jaqueira, the Islamic Cultural Center Imam Sadeq, the Executive National Committee board of Pedagogy Students (ExNEPE), and the People’s Women’s Movement (MFP). The mobilization ended with anti-imperialist slogans and burning the Yankee and Zionist flag. The Military Police attempted to intimidate the demonstrators, demanding the presence of the organizations’ “leaders” and the “people in charge” of the demonstration. But the demonstrators refused.
