Rather than respond to his teacher in class, Kataguiri posted a video to YouTube, which quickly went viral. Kataguiri then founded the Free Brazil Movement, "a libertarian group that espouses free-market values." The first goal of the movement has been to impeach Dilma Rousseff, the current president of Brazil who belongs to the left-wing Workers" Party, for her failure to stop corruption in the state-owned oil and gas company Petrobras.
Kataguiri characterizes the Workers" Party as "the nemesis of freedom and democracy." Kataguiri says the broader goals of the movement are "to liberalize the state.
We want less tax, less bureaucracy and the privatization of all public companies." On 15 March 2015, more than a million Brazilians attended anti-Rousseff protests around the country. In São Paulo, Kataguiri addressed 200,000 protesters in the largest demonstration in the city in a generation.
In October 2015, Time named Kataguiri as one of the most influential teens of 2015. Kataguiri is the grandson of Japanese immigrants.
