The month of April begins with the edition of Thinking about Minas about religious intolerance. The objective of the meeting, which is this Monday (4/1/24), is to debate the motivations of religious intolerance, understand why certain groups are more persecuted and learn about ways to combat these crimes.

The meeting will be broadcast on the Escola do Legislativo YouTube channel, starting at 9 am, and the public will be able to participate by sending questions and comments via chat.

There were 1,418 across the country; in 2018, 615 incidents were recorded.
