Here in Curitiba we also held a demo with about a thousand people. It started at as a march at the Federal University and then converged to the traditional spot for rallies which is here known as Boca Maldit. An animated mixture of different church representatives as well as radical political parties were present. For Curitiba, an usually difficult place to get people mobilized, it was fairly good, even though the working masses were not there!
