[Brazil] Protests: Peaceful protest

Summary

Single-source ACLED detection — awaiting independent verification. Peaceful protests occurred in São Paulo on March 30, 2025, with demonstrators on Paulista Avenue calling for accountability for participants in Brazil's January 8, 2023 coup attempt. The demonstration proceeded to a former detention facility from Brazil's military dictatorship period, with reported government representation at the event.

Supply chain impact

No commodities or chokepoints are directly mapped to this event; second-order effects depend on how the situation escalates. Given the peaceful nature and limited scope reported, immediate supply chain disruption appears minimal.

Watch points

• Monitor for potential escalation or expansion of protests to other Brazilian cities that could affect transportation networks
• Track whether demonstrations spread to areas with greater economic infrastructure concentration, particularly around major ports or industrial zones
