On the day that Brazil will exceed the 10,000-death mark of covid-19, the President of the Republic, Jair Bolsonaro, took a jet ski ride on Lake Paranoá, near Palácio da Alvorada. The images were published by the Metrópoles portal. The Presidency’s Communication Secretariat did not confirm the information and said it was a private agenda.
During the tour, which was not on the agenda, some supporters came to take photos with the president. He also stopped to chat with people who were having barbecues on a speedboat. In the Bahia shirt, which he won when he arrived in Salvador, in the last week of last year, he authorized the shooting. One of the videos was published on the account of PT senator Humberto Costa.
One of the women on the speedboat comments, in a tone of surprise and play: “We came to make your barbecue.” Bolsonaro comments that the country is in chaos and says that there is “a neurosis” around the coronavirus issue. “70% will contract the virus. There is no way,” added the president.
Like Bolsonaro, popular people did not follow the recommendations of the World Health Organization (WHO). They were without masks and did not respect social distance.
A decree from the Federal District government made the use of masks in public spaces mandatory since April 30. The fines of R $ 2,000 for non-compliance will be applied from Monday 11.
The tour took place on a relatively cold day by Brazilian standards (around 23 degrees), after the president stopped barbecue at the Palácio do Alvorada in the face of strong negative repercussions.
The #churrascodamorte topic was one of the most commented on Twitter this Saturday, 9. In the morning, the president called the event a “fake barbecue” on his social networks.
The event was announced by Jair Bolsonaro himself on Thursday, 7. Bolsonaro said he would maintain a fraternization with about 30 people. That Friday, the 8th, he returned to the subject and, ironically, declared that he expected to receive 3 thousand people at the Palace.

Despite the advancement of the new coronavirus, the President continues to minimize the severity of the disease. After referring to covid-19 as a “influenza”, Bolsonaro has already stated that it had nothing to do with the deaths. “And that?
This Saturday, the National Congress declared the official mourning for three days due to the deaths caused by the new coronavirus in the country, which should reach the 10,000 mark this Saturday.
At 2 in the afternoon, the flag in front of Congress, at Praça dos Três Poderes, in Brasilia, was raised at half-staff. During that three-day period, any celebration, celebration or holiday is prohibited.
On Friday the 8th, the minister of the Office of Institutional Security (GSI), Augusto Heleno, was seen without a mask in a supermarket in Brasilia. The video was posted on Saturday by UOL.
He only put on the protection element after being boarded. He justified that he was distracted after answering a phone call. Heleno was one of those infected with the new coronavirus in the presidential party that traveled to the United States in March.
