Bolsonarist businessman Winston Ling, who became known as the man who introduced Paulo Guedes to Bolsonaro in 2018, disappeared from Twitter this week. His account on the social network was used to present ideas such as economic liberalism, Miss beauty pageant and defend Bolsonaro.
On Monday (9), one of his last publications was critical of the arrests triggered after Bolsonarist attacks on the three Powers on Sunday (8). “Arresting for demonstrations is easy. I want to see arrests for corruption”, said the message. A few weeks ago, she wrote: “we are going to fill the doors of the barracks again”.
In October, at the time of the election, he published a photo wearing a T-shirt emblazoned with the Brazilian flag in the voting line and even suggested that there was fraud in the Electoral Justice application. “What technology is this that leaves the App locked for so long!!! #fraud?????”, read the tweet.
Months earlier, Ling was also one of the few who released a message of support for Pedro Guimarães, the former president of Caixa who lost office after being accused of sexual harassment.
