Mônica Bergamo: Boulos will file a lawsuit asking for the removal of the Golden Bull from the Stock Exchange

by

PSOL pre-candidate for the Government of São Paulo, Guilherme Boulos, will file a class action asking the City of São Paulo to remove the Golden Bull installed in front of the Brazilian Stock Exchange, the B3, in the central region of the capital. São Paulo.

Boulos will argue that there was an undue use of public space and a misuse of purpose in the installation of the piece.

Inaugurated on Tuesday (16), the Golden Bull did not last a day without being the target of protests. On Wednesday morning (17), activists gathered to put a poster in the play that reads “hunger”.

The act was “a direct message to the Bolsonaro government and to the entire Brazilian elite that supports the president”, says Tabata Luz, a member of the Fogo no Pavio and Raiz da Liberdade movements, responsible for the demonstration.

The sculpture is a replica of the Wall Street Bull, located in New York’s financial district. The Brazilian version was named the Golden Bull for being golden. The original is bronze.

B3 stated in a note that the sculpture “honorifies the strength and courage of Brazilians, as well as being a gift to the city of São Paulo, aiming at revitalizing the city’s historic center.”

“Bull sculptures, which represent optimism about the financial market, are present in financial centers in several cities around the world, such as New York and Frankfurt”, he added.

The number of investors on the Brazilian stock exchange has increased in recent months, but it still represents a small portion of the population.

In stock market jargon, the bull represents the stock market’s bull times, as the bull horns upward.

The Brazilian version was installed in front of the Bolsa building, on 15 de Novembro Street, and is authorized by the Sé Sub-prefecture to remain there for three months.

The Gold Tour was created in partnership with the partner at XP and president of the Vai Tourinho financial education company, Pablo Spyer —also known for presenting the program Minuto Touro de Ouro, at Jovem Pan—, and conceived by the artist and architect Rafael Brancatelli.
