Liberal student entity, União Juventude e Liberdade says it had a flag ripped and torn by left-wing students during the UNE Biennial (National Union of Students), in Rio de Janeiro, this Thursday (2).
A UJL member says he was kicked and punched. The pennant, known as the Gadsden, features a snake on a yellow background and is an international symbol of right-wing groups, especially libertarians.
In the USA, however, it was appropriated by some extremist movements linked, for example, to former American President Donald Trump.. The torn flag was later displayed by leftist students at the event.
On a social network, the UJL said it will not be intimidated by the act. “Another flag is already coming, we will not be silent. Freedom is a matter of time. They will have to swallow us”, she wrote.
Last year, the same entity was the target of leftist students at Unicamp, when it called São Paulo councilor Fernando Holiday to give a lecture against racial quotas. The event ended up not being able to take place.
