Abstract
The recent and simultaneous public demonstrations in Brazil throughout the country and with clear demands, in a certain way confirms part of the theory elaborated by André Guender Frank and Marta Fuentes in an essay published in 1989, entitled “Ten theses regarding social movements”. As distinct from what, for nebulous reasons, parts of the Brazilian press insists, this is not a movement that is interested in reducing the costs of public transportation for students. In addition, the last reported demonstrations by the press at the beginning of June barely covered the ones in the capital of the state of Rio Grande do Sul, in which the press pointed to such fares as “the main issue”. However it is also necessary to remind readers that before the actual name of “Free Public Transportation Movement” was given, since the last century there has been a Free Public Transportation Campaign in the city of Florianópolis, capital of the neighboring state of Santa Catarina.References
