His face is covered with a black scarf to “not be identified by the police” who remotely monitor the approximately 3,000 people who joined the Vida Justa movement demonstration. Still, he agrees to identify himself.
“My name is Kiko Baldé, I’m 30 years old and I live in a neighborhood in Amadora. I’m here because we can’t continue to be treated this way by the police. I am treated worse because of the color of my skin. If it’s because it’s from the neighborhood? I’ll tell you something that’s always happening: when we have a party and they call the police, black people are always pressed against the wall with their legs open.. White people stay apart. But I’m fair. I’ve already needed to call the police, I have and I will continue to call them when necessary. But they can’t keep killing us like this.”
