On the eve of Lula’s inauguration, Bolsonarist businessmen who tend to manifest themselves more frequently on social media may have changed course.
The account of the founder of Localiza Salim Mattar on Twitter ceased to exist. The businessman, who held the position of privatization secretary during Bolsonaro’s administration, used the space to criticize the left and spread his thoughts related to economic liberalism in more than 5,000 tweets in recent years.
Another strong representative of Bolsonarism in business, Gabriel Kanner, from the family that owns Riachuelo, was already showing signs of a reduction in his internet manifestations. “I don’t know about you, but I’m tired of political news,” he wrote on Thursday (15) on his account with over 30,000 followers.
Winston Ling, who became known as the businessman who introduced Paulo Guedes to Bolsonaro in 2018, in turn, accelerated the volume of messages since the election campaign. Ling has again encouraged people to attend demonstrations outside barracks in recent days, but does not reveal whether he attended.
“This weekend we will fill the door of the barracks again”, wrote Ling in a social network, on Saturday (17). In the same message, she released a video of Bolsonaristas dressed in yellow at a demonstration, without identifying the date or location of the event.
Panel SA sent a message to Ling asking if he participated in person, but the businessman did not respond.
