Ask your MP to sign an Early Day Motion on the crucial Brazilian Presidential Election
With the presidential election taking place on October 2nd, we have witnesses a disturbing rise in political violence against Brazilian Workers’ Party supporters and officials; while Bolsonaro’s regime is ramping up threats and attacks against the electoral system.
In response to these threats, and the tragic murder of Workers’ Party official Marcelo Arruda by a far-right Bolsonaro supporter, an Early Day Motion has been tabled in parliament condemning political violence.
