Deputy Erika Hilton (Psol-SP) claimed that Governor Tarcísio de Freitas prevented workers from holding a demonstration on Paulista Avenue on Labor Day (May 1st). According to her, the avenue was reserved for groups linked to former president Bolsonaro. The protest against the 6x1 work schedule was moved to Roosevelt Square.

The 6x1 work schedule refers to a system where workers work six days per week with only one day off. According to the Military Police, three Bolsonaro-supporting groups had previously requested authorization to use Paulista Avenue on Labor Day, and the corporation followed the chronological order of requests.
