Thousands of protesters across Brazil called for the impeachment of President Jair Bolsonaro on Saturday, a day after a judge authorized an investigation into him over an alleged COVID-19 vaccine purchase plan, according to The Guardian.
Why it matters: The pandemic has killed nearly 524,000 people in Brazil amid the slow rollout of a vaccine. That investigation, along with a Senate investigation, could hurt Bolsonaro’s re-election chances next year and could hamper his “ability to serve out the remainder of his term,” the New York Times notes.
