Brasilian Exats Protest in Berlin
Brazilian expats and Berliners protest in front of the Brazilian Embassy against a project of constitutional reform and a legislative initiative of amnesty in Berlin, Germany, on September 21, 2025. The Brazilian parliament deals with a constitutional amendment known as the Shielding Project (Projeto de Emenda Constitucional da Blindagem, renamed by protesters as 'da Bandidagem' or 'of Banditry'), which requires Congress to authorize any criminal charges against deputies and senators through a secret vote. This week, Brazil's Chamber of Deputies, with a conservative majority, approves a parliamentary initiative that extends immunity for legislators and an amnesty project that could benefit far-right former president Jair Bolsonaro, sentenced by the Supreme Federal Tribunal to 27 years in prison for coup-plotting.
