The decision of thousands of Brazilian citizens to take to the streets in June 2013 inaugurated a decade of social and political upheavals, which included an impeachment, the rise of the radical right-wing after a cycle of left-wing governments, the first arrest of a former Brazilian president after a criminal conviction and his new election to the leadership of the country.
Ten years later, the protests "against everything" that shook Brazil, walling up the political class and burying an impending World Cup in doubts, are an inconclusive subject for the country's life and an enigma to be fully unraveled by historians and academics.
The four weeks of upheaval were connected to a global wave of anti-establishment revolts similarly summoned by early-stage social media.
Scenes of depredation practiced by black blocs, police violence, conflicts between the demonstrators themselves, attempts at government reaction, and general stupefaction marked the Brazilian scenario. Since then, the streets have become the character of a country that still lives with the problems pointed out in 2013.
