Beach volleyball player Carol Solberg, 33, had a busy Monday morning (21), run over by the care of her two children and the repercussion of her protest against President Jair Bolsonaro (no party) on Sunday (20 ). .
In an interview with SporTV after the sports stage in Saquarema (RJ), he said: “just to keep in mind: out, Bolsonaro!”
The act generated a note of repudiation by the Brazilian Volleyball Confederation (CBV). The entity stated that it will take all appropriate measures so that events like these, which denigrate the image of sport, are no longer practiced ”.
We also take the opportunity to show all our sadness and dissatisfaction, considering that this first stage of the CBVP Open 2020/2021, considered a milestone in the return of Olympic sports competitions, due to such importance, could not be tainted by a totally thoughtless act practiced. for that athlete “, completes the confederation
In an interview with leafCarol says it is regrettable to face any threat of punishment as a result of her freedom of expression.
“I am not an activist, but I feel compelled to take a position and it is regrettable and curious that I can be punished for exercising my freedom of expression in the face of this mismanagement,” said Carol. “I have no idea what is going to happen, but CBV’s reaction in my case was quite different than what happened with Wallace. Show something “.
In the middle of the 2018 presidential elections, Wallace and Maurício Souza made number 17 with their fingers in a photo during the dispute for the World Championship, in reference to the number of the then candidate Bolsonaro for the presidency of the Republic.
The record with the act of the couple was even published by CBV on their Instagram account. The entity, however, withdrew the publication and published the following note:
“The CBV repudiates any type of discriminatory manifestation, be it in any area, and does not agree with the political manifestation either. However, the entity believes in freedom of expression and, therefore, it is not allowed to control the personal social networks of athletes, components of the technical commissions and house staff. At this time, the selection board will take the necessary measures to prevent collective demonstrations from taking place. “
The reaction of the entity to the protest of the athlete, whose main sponsor is Banco do Brasil (since 1991), has been questioned on the networks since Sunday afternoon. Volleyball fans and Carol supporters compared it to the entity’s treatment of the players’ act in 2018.
There were also requests for the bank to stop sponsoring the player, but she is not sponsored by Banco do Brasil. In the Brazilian Circuit, in Saquarema, she wore a top with the logo of the state company for the sponsorship of CBV.
This Monday, the National Commission of Beach Volleyball Athletes of the CBV also repudiated Carol’s gesture. In a note, signed by its president, former player Emanuel Rego, the class assures that “we will fight as hard as possible so that these types of situations do not recur.”
Emanuel, who is running as Rafael Westrupp’s runner-up for the presidency of the COB (Brazilian Olympic Committee), was removed from the high-performance area of the Federal Government’s Special Secretariat for Sports in June this year.
Despite the contrary manifestations, the player says that she feels relieved with his gesture.
“This scream was not premeditated, it was in the stomach, it was put in the mouth. Yes, I received attacks and messages of support from friends, family. Many are concerned about me, from my physical integrity to my career, which shows how this government promotes hatred between people, “he said.
Carol Solberg is the daughter of former volleyball player Isabel Salgado, who is one of the leaders of the Sport for Democracy movement, created this year. In an interview with Folha in June, Isabel refuted the idea that athletes should not speak politically.
“My gesture is small, but since I am an athlete I consider it important to let go of our voice. How to keep quiet before a government that burns the Pantanal, 140 thousand people die from the coronavirus, is a disregard for culture, ”says Carol. “My mother clearly has influence, but I didn’t even speak to her before I took office and it would be no different even if she wasn’t so involved in pro-democracy.”
