Some people also carried images of former leftist President Luis Inacio Lula da Silva wearing the presidential sash.Earlier in May, the former leader met centrist Fernando Henrique Cardoso, also a two-term former president, for lunch in a public show of their common purpose to block Mr Bolsonaro from gaining a second term in next year's election.Cases also remain high, with 79,670 new infections - taking the total since the start of the pandemic to 16.47 million.
