An agglomeration caused by the presence of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro on a beach on the coast of Sao Paulo generated the president’s first controversy in 2021 and raised voices of rejection on social networks for the “irresponsible” attitude of the government. leader.

Bolsonaro, who spends a few days off with his family at a military base on the coast of the state of Sao Paulo, was boarding a boat in Praia Grande and, when the boat approached the bathers, the governor decided to jump in the water, swim and join them.

The presence of the head of state and his companions, who did not wear a mask for COVID-19, caused an agglomeration of people, who surrounded the leader, chanted his name and raised him on their shoulders.

“At a time when Brazil needs peace and attitudes to fight the pandemic and save lives, President Bolsonaro is attacking us again, cowardly. The ineffectiveness and denial of the government of this president caused the death of 194,000 Brazilians from COVID ”, according to the governor of Sao Paulo, Joao Doria.

Just as Bolsonaro joined the bathers, the executive reported that Brazil had racked up 7.7 million confirmed cases and exceeded 195,000 deaths linked to the new coronavirus.

“Bolsonaro loves the smell of death, the smell of gunpowder and the smell of money from corruption (of one of his sons, Senator Flavio Bolsonaro). President: work more and talk less, ”wrote the governor of Sao Paulo on his profile on the social network Twitter.

Praia Grande was one of twelve communes in Sao Paulo that disobeyed regional government measures to return to the “red phase” and tighten containment and social distancing, with the exception of essential services, a provision that Doria just extended to the February 7th.

POLITICAL DISPUTE

Last week, Bolsonaro lashed out at Doria, a longtime ally and now one of her main political rivals, who traveled to Miami on vacation a day after putting the state in a “phase.” red ”for Christmas and New Years, which restricts traffic and Commercial activities.

Doria, who was the target of criticism for “leaving” the state, interrupted family rest, returned immediately to Brazil and argued that the reason for her return was Lt. Gov. Rodrigo García’s COVID-19 , who was to take up his duties during your absence.

Bolsonaro and Doria are leading a political battle over the coronavirus vaccine, in which the governor has come forward and already has eleven million doses and the license for the local manufacture of the antivirus at the Butantán Institute of the Chinese company Sinovac , which is awaiting authorization for its compound to be inoculated into the population.

The president, who like Doria contracted the coronavirus and was cured and was one of the world leaders most skeptical about the scale of the pandemic, is betting on the vaccine from the Anglo-Swedish laboratory AstraZeneca and the University British Oxford, which It should be manufactured in Brazil by the state laboratory Fiocruz.

During the highest peaks of the pandemic, Bolsonaro rarely used the mask at public events and there were often protests in his favor, despite the fact that crowds were banned in the Federal District of Brasilia.

Another voice against Bolsonaro is that of MP Manuel D’Ávila, who ran for mayor of Porto Alegre in November – losing in the second round – and is one of the main political positions of the Communist Party of Brazil (PCdoB) .

“When the worst example for society is the president,” the former 2018 vice-president candidate wrote on her Twitter profile in the formula with leftist Fernando Haddad, in response to the video Bolsonaro himself posted published on his social networks. (EFE)
