The demonstration was called to show support for Brazil's oil rights and the Petrobras national oil company. Organised by the major trade unions and the Partido dos Trabalhadores (Workers' Party), the march was attended by thousands of supporters. Over 300 police officers were on duty to close off roads and make sure the march passed smoothly. Ex-president Lula walked among the people for a while, but he was eventually pulled out by his security detail as too many people were gathering round to see him. Pestrobras and its recent oil discoveries are one of the key issues in the upcoming presidential election campaign. Incumbent Dilma Roussef and the Workers' Party have promised to keep the company under public ownership.
