On Friday 30 June, the main central trade union groups and social organisations in Brazil organised protests in the country’s biggest cities. The movement, which was initially supposed to be a general strike, was in protest against a reform of the labour code and retirement system. Due to disagreements between the unions, fewer people were involved in the movement compared to a previous day of protests, which took place on 28 April.
The movement brought together just a few thousand protesters in each city and, for the most part, public transport systems were able to continue functioning, except in Brasilia.
