Bolsonaro, the current head of state who is still without a party, responded to journalists in a very insensitive manner this Tuesday morning. Check out all the information about this episode below.
As published in the press this morning: he told reporters to shut up on Tuesday morning (5) when he was asked about recent changes in the Federal Police. Bolsonaro also attacked Folha, calling the newspaper a “scoundrel”, “scoundrel” and “liar”.
In a statement in the morning in front of the Palácio da Alvorada, Bolsonaro showed an image that reproduced the headline of the printed edition of Folha this Tuesday and, referring to the headline “New PF director takes over and accepts Bolsonaro's request”, said that he did not interfere in the corporation.
Bolsonaro continues to treat the press rudely.
In a very emphatic manner, the president of the republic, Jair Messias Bolsonaro, spoke together with his supporters:
“What a scoundrel press Folha de S.Paulo is. Scoundrel is a compliment for Folha de S.Paulo. The current superintendent of Rio de Janeiro, who [former minister Sergio] Moro said I want to replace for family reasons.”
He continued: “No one of my relatives is being investigated by the Federal Police, neither me nor my children, zero. A lie that the press repeats all the time, saying that my children want to change the superintendent [of the PF in Rio],” the president added.
As we saw, during his speech, Bolsonaro was asked by journalists if he had requested a change in the PF superintendence in Rio. That was when he told the professionals to shut up.
Check out the president's speech in full:
“Shut up, I didn’t ask anything,” he responded to an initial question, asked by a reporter from O Estado de S. Paulo.S.Paulo Newspaper, a scoundrel and lying newspaper”. Questioned later by the Sheet, the president shouted again: “shut up, shut up.”
So, what did you think?
Should this really be how the president should treat journalism professionals in Brazil? Leave your comment!
