Overview
- Ferreira set off Monday from Paracatu, Minas Gerais, along BR-040, planning a seven-day walk of roughly 240 kilometers to arrive in Brasília on January 25.
- He is documenting the "Caminhada pela Justiça e Liberdade" on social media, posting video of himself at kilometer 30 accompanied by supporters.
- The lawmaker says the march protests what he calls unjust detentions from January 8, 2023 and Bolsonaro’s conviction and recent transfer to the Papuda complex.
- Congressman Gustavo Gayer announced he will join the trek and urged other legislators to participate, while figures such as Magno Malta and Sargento Fahur posted support.
- In an open letter, Ferreira pledged a peaceful march and urged Congress to overturn a veto on sentencing rules, as Gayer said a humanitarian house‑arrest petition for Bolsonaro has 168 deputy signatures.
