The 1992 Brazilian protests, or more commonly known as Pained Faces, Caras-Pintadas and Rio-92, was a mass protest in 1992 against the government of Fernando Collor de Mello which led to his ouster in October, after weeks of student protests and citizen-led unrest in Brazil.[1]

This leading role was mainly due to the campaigns for the conquest of Free pass and half pass | free pass in transport and half-price in cinemas, within the scope of the approval of organic law of the municipalities, a consequence of the recent promulgation of the Brazilian Constitution of 1988.[2][not in citation given]
