Activist group calls for end of diplomatic relations with Brazil
about 1 hour ago
A group of activists who entered the Brazilian embassy as a protest against the country's new far-right president say their stance has prompted a vile hate campaign.
Organise Aotearoa, a socialist organisation formed late last year, sent about 10 activists into the Wellington embassy on Thursday.
It was the newly inaugurated President Jair Bolsonaro's first day in office.
The group say they stood in solidarity with the Brazilian people against Mr Bolsonaro, a divisive populist whose racist, homophobic and misogynistic comments have angered many.
