| The feeling that took so many people to the streets is not only brazilian, it's not only turkish, it is global. It's bigger than a president, the government. | |
| It's about an order, a system, our global system. | |
| The fact is that we don't feel represented. We don't have voice | |
| The truth is that we lost our life thinking about the politics and it makes no difference because they don't have enough power to change what need to be changed and as we live in what we call as democracy, the fault is all ours | |
| because WE don't know how to choose good representatives | |
| and in the end we feel guilty. | |
| Those protests is our voice that was quiet for years and now is screaming " I DO CARE. I NEED TO TO SOMETHING TO CHANGE, BUT I DON'T BELIEVE IN THE POLITICS WE HAVE AND NOW I BELIEVE IN POWER OF PEOPLE." | |

| The crowd is chanting "without any political party " - meaning there's no affiliation with one particular party. Everyone is just fed up with the government as a whole. | |
