"The staff, the locksmith and the Imam of Bolsonaro, do you remember Brasilia and that your name is still engraved," says street vendor Glauco Santos, 40, to tourists who walk in the metropolitan cathedral.
In the heart of the federal capital, tourists, security forces and vendors are preparing for the inauguration of President-elect Jair Bolsonaro (PSL), scheduled for January 1st.
Esplanada dos Ministérios, closed to cars, receives tourists flocking in green and yellow t-shirts who take the opportunity to visit the historic buildings designed by Oscar Niemeyer on the eve of the ceremony.
"I voted and campaigned," says 54-year-old merchant Jose Alberto Frota, who came from Fortaleza just to watch Bolsonaro in the Presidential Rolls Royce Avenue and receive the banner of Michel Temer (MDB).
Accompanied by two friends who live in the capital, he says that he just landed in the city and that he's already used to it ("you see so many things on TV that you seem to know, right? ").
This trip was a source of contention at Christmas. Half of his family voted for Fernando Haddad (PT) in October. "Boy, my sister came in and said," I do not want a travel speech, I'm in possession of me, "he said with a laugh.
A little further, the couple from Curitiba and Nelio Sandra Solla head for the National Congress, where the current federal deputy and future president will be sworn in by parliamentarians next Tuesday.
"It's a historic moment, a real change in the country," he said, pointing to posters covering ministries commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights , celebrated on December 10th. "I was even talking to my wife: look, this left subliminal propaganda everywhere, they only talk about rights, but nobody wants to know what homework is, what to do to change the country, "he says.
The two men who lived in Brasilia "about 30 years ago" are walking in the Esplanade to review the monuments, but also to know what to do on the day of the inauguration. Nelio complains, for example, of the absence of warning signs.
He says that he believes however that there will be no tumult on the day of his inauguration. "Of course, you have to be careful, but this group that comes to support is the clbad of the good, does not have this aggression."
On hearing that the story comes from Folha, he comments, "So, I'm talking to the wrong person, Folha is the leftmost."
With the arrival of green and yellow tourists, peddlers who usually stay in front of the cathedral have adapted their products. The 57-year-old Francisca Dantas cart, for example, only brings t-shirts bearing the words "Bolsonaro presidente" and flags of Brazil.
Friday (28), she says she sold 20 units. Elected president of the future president, she says that she will also come to power even if she can not work – security should be strengthened next week and access to the Esplanade can not be done with objects such as the cart that she now wears. "I think it's great, because it's a promise of novelty, no?" He says.
Administrative city, Brasilia is empty weekends and periods of parliamentary holidays – as in December in January. However, between 2018 and 2019, the situation has changed: the Secretary of Public Security of the Federal District expects the event to attract 250,000 to 500,000 people.
According to military police, Dilma Rousseff's possession in 2015 received 40,000 people on the esplanade. In Lula, in 2003, about 200,000 people were present.
According to data from the Ministry of Tourism, the occupation of hotels in the federal capital is estimated at 85% of the total number of places.
"The hardest months are December, January and early February," says Uber driver Sergio Souza, 41. "But this year, we do not feel so much."
With a jersey from the Brazilian national team, he says that he was a Petista, but this year he voted for Bolsonaro in both teams. "I think it was not the best option, but it's the pesticide on which we have to apply the fertilizer later," he said.
However, the Esplanade is not unanimous in supporting the elected president. With a tattoo of the feminist symbol at the back of the arm, a young woman walks with the family to the bus station. When Folha asks her if she will attend the inauguration, she makes a shy "no" and nods that she prefers not to comment on it.
SECURITY
Despite the festive atmosphere of the fans, it is possible to feel some tension on the road. Grids were placed in the center of the Esplanade and biker cops make a periodic tour of the Avenue.
Activated sirens, official cars turn on the street, attracting the attention of pbaders-by.
This morning, a military police officer fired at the mine clearance team after seeing a backpack left near the Ministry of Planning building. The security forces set up an operation, but it was only a false alarm: the suitcase contained only clothes and objects representing a homeless person. that items such as strollers, backpacks, umbrellas and even water bottles should be prohibited on the 1st.
It is still unclear whether the president will parade in an open car. The decision will be made by him on the day of the band's ceremony.
