GERMANY — One man protest: Brazilian activist and artist Rafael Puetter, dressed as the grim reaper, walked in front of the Brandenburg Gate in a one-man protest through Berlin, early on Wednesday. The multimedia artist has started his performance at the Brazilian embassy in Berlin at midnight every night to protest against Brazil’s COVID-19 policies.
