Thousands of anti-fascist protesters took to the streets of Orléans on Saturday to demonstrate against a congress held by Marine Le Pen’s far-right National Rally party. Marchers criticised both Le Pen and President Emmanuel Macron, chanting slogans and carrying banners opposing the far right. The protest came amid renewed nationwide demonstrations over the cost of living, a week after rallies descended into street violence. The two-day congress also marked a major campaign event for Le Pen ahead of France’s presidential election in six months’ time. Antonia Kerrigan reports the latest from Orleans.

Cerca de 100 pessoas protestaram nesta sexta-feira (23) em Brasília contra decisão do ministro André Mendonça de suspender o impulsionamento pago de vídeo (de 2 minutos e 28 segundos) sobre o caso da menina Ana Clara em plataformas digitais. Ele atendeu a uma solicitação do candidato Flávio Bolsonaro.  O ato ocorreu em frente ao Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE), instituição que tem Mendonça como vice-presidente. O ministro decidiu ainda que a campanha deveria se abster de contratar novos impulsionamentos da gravação Flávio defendeu assassino de criança, sob pena de multa de R$ 10 mil para cada alavancagem.

O vídeo divulgado pela campanha de Lula expõe que, durante o mandato, o senador Flávio Bolsonaro defendeu o acusado.   Crítica De acordo com a presidente da União Brasileira de Mulheres (UBM), Maria das Neves Filha, a decisão do ministro configura “censura”.  “Devemos denunciar essa censura flagrante à nossa democracia. Vamos tomar as medidas cabíveis para fazer com que a justiça prevaleça nesse caso.” Ela lamentou o fato de a decisão ter sido proferida no último dia útil antes da votação. “É por isso que estamos na rua hoje.” Justificativa Na decisão de André Mendonça justificou que não se identifica, no material, conteúdo promocional autônomo da candidatura de Lula, e sim críticas apenas. “A mensagem publicitária dirige-se essencialmente à crítica e à desqualificação do candidato adversário.” Outra observação do ministro é que o fato de que o vídeo trazer o depoimento da mãe da menina Ana Clara, Cristiane Gomes da Silva, não garantiria autorização de uso do material. “A circunstância de o material reproduzir manifestações proferidas em debate eleitoral e depoimento de familiar da vítima não afasta, por si só, a irregularidade do impulsionamento remunerado.”
