Since June this year (2013), several major protests with people from "all walks of life", took the streets of Brazil's main cities, the most violent ones were lead by Black Blocs movement that focused their violence against brazilian and international big corporations that according to them, represents the hegemonic economical system. Brazilian police took hard and violent measures against those manifestations, fact that generated more violence, resulting in dozens of hundreds of people injured, hundreds of public buses and properties destroyed and several hundreds bank agencies, all over Brazil, vandalised. This was the biggest social unrest and violence outbreak in the country in the last 20 years.
