As a fellow brazilian, I totally agree with you. I believe we should not allow party flags to be raised right now. The truth is that politicians from all parties (supportive or not to the present government) were involved in some sort of corruption across Brazil.

As violent and absurd this may sound, I believe those who live in Brasília should go to undoubtedly corrupt politician's homes (like Renan Calheiros') and destroy it, the same way people have been doing with banks, telecom, and media companies (entities that literally have raped and manipulated us for decades) in several capitals.

Although I believe this may not prevent corrupt politicians from being in power in the future (only a properly educated population can ensure that), we need to act now. Our political system is broken and there is no way change will come from those in power - their own interest is holding control.

I agree with gverri. Sorry, but your comment is very naive, nd not informed. These people with political flags were the people attacked by the police earlier, the people who started everything and now they are being attacked by the new protesters with poor political understanding.

Your notion of "party" is even inaccurate. A party don't need to participate in elections (there are lots of not electoral parties). And between parties who act in elections, there are those who do it not to be elected (in fact, they are almost never elected), but to spread their message in the TV during elections. Just trying to use the system against the system. Even there are parties (PT, PSOL), that are in fact a huge aggregation of different groups (like sub-parties), and those groups can be very diverse, some of them not wishing to concentrate in government, but acting with social movements.

The current acts against political parties in Brazil is a huge ignorance spread by right wing groups. Is indeed a very fascist thing.

You are so wrong. This only show how you must improve your knowledge of Brazilian politics.

Not all parties were involved in some sort of corruption. And those who didn't are the ones having their flags burnt by protesters.

Lot's of activists from PSTU died protesting against big farmers violence against the indigenous. Activists from PSOL, PSTU, and other left wing parties have a LONG history of protesting. Just search google: Pinheirinhos, Belo Monte, União Homoafetiva, Marcha das Vadias, Marcha da Maconha. They were always there, fighting for what they believed was right.
