By agencies such as the American AP and the German DPA and by newspapers such as the Spanish El País and the Chilean La Tercera, the titles criticize Jair Bolsonaro for “turning the bicentennial of independence into an electoral act”, campaign, with a tone of candidate.
Others such as La Nación and the Télam agency, both from Argentina, and the Portuguese Público (below, with the Brazilian next to the President of Portugal) risked highlighting, even in the initial pages, the “macho discourse” and the “vulgar sexual reference”. , using the “bicentennial to defend his virility”.
It was necessary to explain the expression in the texts. In Público, “Bolsonaro kissed the first lady and began to chant the word ‘imbroxável’ (slang term for a sexually virile man) to be repeated by her supporters.”
In Télam, he “assures that he is ‘imbrochable’ (a word in Portuguese that means that his member is always erect for the sexual act)”.
LULA, ‘LOVE AND UNION’
Most of the reports reproduce the message of the former president on social media in the text, with others, such as the Argentine Infobae, highlighting in the title that “Lula asks Brazil to recover ‘love and unity’ on Independence Day”.
PARALLELS
The New York Times and Germany’s Der Spiegel turned to academics to address Bolsonaro’s self-coup threats. In the first, the article by a professor at Columbia University in New York, Miguel Lago, warns that the Brazilian president wants a “revolution”, citing the parallel with 1964 and charging:
“The Biden administration can make clear the deep costs, it can scare big Brazilian companies – which, as influential supporters, can exert considerable pressure on Bolsonaro. The last time Brazil experienced similar political chaos was in 1964. It only took a few hours.” for the US, led by Lyndon Johnson, to recognize the new government. Much depends on the hope that the US now values democracy a little more.”
In the second, a history professor at UFRJ, Carlos Fico, “military expert”, talks about the climate within the Armed Forces and confirms that “there can be riots like Trump”, pointing out “parallels with the capture of the Capitol”.
