In the rain, a group gathered on Saturday morning outside the Fairmont hotel, where President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva is staying, to protest the G20 summit. The demonstration, also against Israel and pro-Palestine, is taking place a short distance from the Copacabana Fort, where the president is scheduled to meet with UN Secretary-General António Guterres.

— This movement against the G20 stems from the belief that these 19 countries, plus the European Union and the African Union, lack legitimacy to dictate global policies, especially those related to the environment and funding wars and oil — says communicator Carolina Vaz, involved in organizing the event.

Chanting “Free Palestine” and holding signs demanding “the end of imperialism,” the group left their gathering point near the Copacabana Fort around 9 a.m. and marched along Avenida Atlântica. The march was followed by police vehicles with sirens on and army personnel present to ensure the security of officials.

Lula left his hotel this morning around 10:15 a.m. and headed to his meeting with Guterres. The discussion, also at the Copacabana Fort, will be the president's first bilateral meeting in preparation for the main G20 summit, set to begin early next week.

In this morning's engagement, Lula will also be accompanied by special presidential advisor Celso Amorim and Foreign Minister Mauro Vieira, who met him at the hotel and accompanied him to the meeting location.

On Saturday, Lula will also attend the conclusion of the Social G20, a groundbreaking initiative aimed at increasing societal participation in the summit, at the Museum of Modern Art (MAM) in Rio, in Glória. The president will remain in the neighborhood until mid-next week to participate in the G20 Summit, which will gather heads of state and government from the world's 20 largest economies, alongside the European Union and African Union, on Monday and Tuesday.
