Cauê Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 INTERNATIONAL PRESS Brazilian Judge Orders Olympics to Allow Stadium Protests By JOSHUA GOODMAN AND ADRIANA GOMEZ LICON , ASSOCIATED PRESS RIO DE JANEIRO - Aug 9 , 2016 4:46 PM ET A judge has ordered organizers of the Rio Olympics to allow peaceful protests inside venues after several fans were escorted out of stadiums for holding up anti-government signs. http://abcnews.go.com/Sports/wireStory/brazilian-judge-orders-olympics-stadium-protests-41240217 'Fora Temer' ('Temer Out', with the logo of Globo TV) https://www.facebook.com/jornalistaslivres/photos/a.292153227575228.1073741829.292074710916413/388978507892699/?type=3&theater A Charge about the situation: FROM 'JORNALISTAS LIVRES' (FACEBOOK)https://www.facebook.com/jornalistaslivres/?fref=ts 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cauê Posted August 11, 2016 Author Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 No. I'm sorry. This is a historic moment and the protests against GloboTV and the interim government are an important part of this moment. All faces of this historical moment are very important. But the games are very beautiful Rio is the most stunning scenery since the exceptional Sydney Games. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LatinXTC Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 All these protesters that are protesting inside stadiums are f**king stupid. To spend all that damn money seeing an event just to go in to yell and shout, spoiling the game for the spectators and also quite possibly distracting the players. If you must protest, protest during the time when a Brazilian athlete is performing. Don't ruin it for athletes that came in to just get a medal and want no part of your political turmoil. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You should just go and enjoy them then. This is your only chance to do so. They'll be over before you know it, and believe me, you won't want to have missed your chance to enjoy such a special time in the history of your city and country. Your political turmoil will go on beyond the games. That's for you Brazilians to sort out, debate and protest about. It's not for the world and us foreigners to tell you what to do - and nor do the bulk of people who tune into the games to watch a special event really care. Fight your political battles in the appropriate venues - the courts, the parliament, the ballot boxes, and, yes, in the streets - you're lucky and should be thankful that as a democracy that you have the right to protest in the streets. But, just chill out for the moment and enjoy a moment you really should be savouring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ikarus360 Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I think Dilma deserved to be kicked out from office because of the corruption evidence, but Temer is no saint either and he was also heavily involved with both she and Lula misdeeds. He also deserves to share the hatred, specially after a series of controversial decisions he did during his tenure as Interim president. Still though, it is very sad to see an event like the Olympics getting marred by politics, when they are not supossed to get mixed to begin with.

FAAN Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 The so-called "repression" on those protests inside Rio's venues is, ironically, following a law approved by Dilma herself LOL Law that forbids political protests in the Olympics was sanctioned by Dilma Posters with political demonstrations have been - as expected - banned from stadiums during the Olympic Games. PT members are using the poster "Fora Temer" and has been approached by police, which determine the collection of the posters. Otherwise, the protesters need to be removed from the site. This has caused the PT to adopt the narrative saying "we are being victims of authoritarianism" to play the typical victimhood games of the extreme left. The irony of the whole situation is that the rule prohibiting political demonstrations at stadiums has support of Law 13,284. Ironically, it was Dilma Rousseff who signed the law on May 10, in one of his last acts as president, before being removed. In 2014, another version of the law - then sanctioned for the World Cup, also for Dilma in 2012 - was questioned by the PSDB.

It indeed doesn't forbid the freedom of expression. According to the article 28, any flag and/or posters that aren't connected to a friendly and festive kind of expression is not allowed. Basically, the law signed by Dilma doesn't hurt the right of protesting and expressing opinions inside the olympic venues, but those with posters linked to any political matters or anything not conncted to the enviroment of the games must be notified by the responsible agents to let those posters out of the venues or get removed from the venue. So, people are free to protest and express their opinions but the law forbids posters of political/commercial/discriminatory (and anything not linked to the enviroment of the Games) character inside the venues and that's why people with this kind of posters are getting notified during the competitions. The same law was signed by Dilma and considered legal by the Supreme Court back in 2014 during the World Cup. Btw, the incidents of the so-called "repression" happened before the decision of the federal judge that now authorizes this kind of protest.
