With the theme “Life in the first place”, this Saturday (5), starting at 2 pm, the preparatory seminar for the 29th Cry of the Excluded in Belo Horizonte will take place. The activity will take place in the hall of the Nossa Senhora da Conceição dos Pobres Church, in the Lagoinha neighborhood.
Traditionally, the Grito dos Exclusivas takes place on September 7, the date on which Brazil’s independence is celebrated. The objective of the popular demonstration, which takes to the streets of several cities in the country, is to denounce the contradictions experienced by the Brazilian population, especially the most socially and economically vulnerable.
For this year, the motto that guides the march and its construction process is “What are you hungry and thirsty for?”. In Minas Gerais, the 29th edition of the act also aims to denounce measures taken by the state government, under the command of Romeu Zema (Novo).
