A slam for Bolsonaro | The National History Museum …

Nothing like the anabolism to enlarge the international image of a narrowing government. Jair Bolsonaro awarded a decoration to the former coachbuilder and actor Arnold Schwazenegger, member of the conservative party Rebublican, visiting Brazil to promote a fair for products for the "fitness" market. The plaque given to the former governor of California indicates that "the Federative Republic of Brazil (distinguishes it for his) dedication and integrity throughout his artistic, social and political life". Perhaps, by this recognition, the Brazilian authorities have tried to generate a new impact likely to mitigate a new arrival Monday in New York, whose Museum of Natural History announced that it left without effect a tribute in Bolsonaro.

The authorities of this entity have deemed it inappropriate that their facilities receive May 14 for the awarding of a prize to the former captain whose term would expire in one hundred days. For museum officials, "the objectives of the current Brazilian administration" are a cause for "deep concern". In other words: they have closed the door so that he can not receive the annual personality award from the Brazilian-American Chamber of Commerce. It's a traditional price with 49 years of existence. In 2018, former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg, and former Justice of the Cause of Lava Jato, Sergio Moro, current Minister of Justice, got a rally of activists with banners and songs demanding the release of "political prisoner" Luiz Inácio Lula. da Silva.

Current New York Mayor Bill de Blasio said it was "ironic" that Bolsonaro opened the doors of the museum for a banquet in his honor. The New York Communist Party leader of the Democratic Party claimed that the South American president was "a very dangerous guy" because of his homophobic, racist and contemptuous stances towards the Amazon.

For Bolsonaro, this double slam of the progressive mayor and the museum are new setbacks despite his determination to win a name for projection in world politics. Although there are no surveys on the depreciation of its image internationally, it is feared that it has a low equivalent to that suffered internally, the agency Datafolha having indicated that his authorization had dropped at 32% at the beginning of April. However, at the end of December, the "positive expectations" were 65%.

Recent articles in the newspapers El País, Le Monde and The Guardian have drawn a disappointing record of the early part of the Bolsonaro administration, thus revealing their poor representation in the ranking of world leaders.

The fact is that few Brazilian leaders have made four international tours in three months of government. Highlighting his meeting with Donald Trump in Washington at the end of March and with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem in early April, where he said shortly after his visit to the Holocaust Museum that Nazism was a movement of left.

A few days later, he resumed his thesis, aggravating it: he argued that the crimes of the Third Reich could be "pardoned", for which he had received an official complaint from the Holocaust museum.

Something similar, but less serious, happened with the Schwazenegger public visit to Brazil and the decoration sent by the president. It happens that the Brazilian Bodybuilding Confederation suspects the Arnold Sports Festival launched in San Pablo this weekend. In addition to promoting the sale of devices to get around the biceps, it also promotes doping and anabolic steroids.
