Brazil “must stop being a fag country,” says Bolsonaro

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro made another controversial statement about the new coronavirus and said that the country “must stop being a fag country”, at an event on the country’s tourism organized by the Government at the Planalto Palace. “Now everything is a pandemic. This business must end. I’m sorry for the dead, I’m sorry. We are all going to die one day. There is no use running away from it, fleeing from reality. [O Brasil] it has to stop being a fag country, “said Bolsonaro.

The Brazilian head of state also addressed journalists during his speech and showed that he knew that his words would be controversial in the media. “Look what a full plate for the press back there,” said Bolsonaro, who accuses journalists of trying to denigrate his image before the population. “Tomorrow’s headline: ‘Ah, Bolsonaro has no affection, he feels nothing for who died.’ I have a feeling for everyone who died. But [foi] oversized, “Bolsonaro stressed during the event.

Tourism revenue in Brazil decreased 33.6% between January and August of this year, compared to the same period in 2019, according to a survey published last month, by the Federation of Trade in Goods, Services and Tourism of the state of São Paulo (FecomercioSP), based on data from the Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE). Addressing businessmen in the tourism sector, the President said that there are “many things that do not depend” on you and has blamed Parliament and state governments for the “excess of rules and fees” that are applied in the sector.
