Karina Michelin stated that images of the pro-Lula act on Avenida Paulista showed vandalism, graffiti, and a burning United States flag. She compared the scenes to the coverage of January 8, when, as she wrote, the press broadcast the events in real time and published immediate condemnations. Michelin questioned why Folha, O Globo, and UOL did not give the images from Avenida Paulista similar prominence, with cover photographs and headlines that classified the acts as terrorist or coup-related. She suggested that the difference in treatment could be related to the political identity of those involved. The author also pointed out similarities between the episodes, such as the presence of hooded groups, vandalism, and intimidation, and said that this reinforced the hypothesis of infiltration of violent groups among peaceful protesters on January 8. Finally, she stated that innocent Bolsonaro supporters had been arrested and cruelly convicted and expressed outrage at the possibility that those responsible for the vandalism on Avenida Paulista had not yet been identified or punished. #Imprensa #Vandalismo #GuerrilhaUrbana (translated)
