Brazilians call for boycotts of major companies that support Bolsonaro

Boycotts follow plans for demonstration against Brazil's Democratic institutions, which have been backed by businesses

Brazilians appalled by Jair Bolsonaro's bigotry and authoritarianism are calling for boycotts of major companies whose founders or owners support the far-right president.

Bolsonaro has often attacked LBGT people, indigenous people, and journalists, and expressed admiration for military dictatorship, but the immediate trigger for the boycotts was a planned demonstration against the country's Democratic institutions, which has been backed by some business leaders - and the president himself.
