Amid a fierce clash between football fans, unions, political organizations, and retirees, a march against the government occurred and was repressed by the police. In this context, various cultural figures have expressed their opinions, including actress Celeste Cid. The renowned actress shared a raw image of the demonstration that took place in front of the National Congress.
The phrase that Celeste Cid went viral with in her Instagram stories refers to the appearance of the uniformed security forces: “Amid increasingly humanized robots and increasingly robotic humans.”
So far, 14 people have been arrested during the demonstration and six security personnel were injured. Three of the injured are members of the Federal Police and three are from the Naval Prefecture. During the disturbances, the security forces seized two homemade firearms, two 12-gauge shotgun cartridges, and a butcher's knife. The material damages caused during these events are also being assessed.
At one point during the police repression, an elderly woman received a strong blow from the officers and fell to the ground. Celeste Cid shared the video of this incident, adding at the bottom of the clip: “There are no words, it hurts the heart to see what one has to see.”
