Brazilian protest in Den Haag

I am pretty sure that I will be accused by my post-structural colleagues of being Eurocentric and a big supporter of Political Parties, but I will allow myself to commit this sin. Sorry for this, but I am still wondering what is at stake in the protests in Turkey and Brazil. What I fear is current manifestations seem more an anti-political turmoil than a structural protest for institutionalize a conflict.
Today here in The Netherlands around 500 Brazilian have been protested for really good and justified reasons. As you will verify in some photos that I present here, people were requesting for more quality in education and health, for more efficiency, and more order against violence, and more diversity, more tolerance for sexual diversity, more individual rights (abortion and others), more participation, no more corruption, and impeachment the President Dilma: They also blamed the World Cup and complaint against the bureaucratic malfunctions.
And here I show you my sacrilege. This is or is not a fuzzy manifestation? What political structures support these events? Everything begun with a protest against the increase of 20 cents in public transport... but this is really the big deal?
Is it or not a fuzzy protest? If we accept that, what kind of political or sociological symptom represents this diffusivity?
I only have questions and a huge concern: how these emerging actors can win the game for more democracy and avoid themselves as a simple expression of antipolitical?
In Latin America the anti- political way (both left and also right wing - CHAVEZ or URIBE -) has been played against the democracy with extensive damage to the political system.
Is not the antipolitical the short-cut to reach the Fascism?
