The president’s enthusiastic use of social media has exasperated allies and angered the opposition.
By Marina Lopes Marina Lopes Email Bio Follow March 6 at 10:35 AM SAO PAULO, Brazil — Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro tweeted a sexually explicit video of a man touching himself late Tuesday night at a street party during Carnival, a nationwide festival known as the country’s biggest party.
The backlash was swift against Bolsonaro, who has enjoyed considerable support from the country’s right wing, including evangelicals. Several users reported Bolsonaro to Twitter, which prohibits the publication of videos depicting sexual acts. Some users went so far as to demand that the president be impeached for violating a Brazilian law prohibiting officials from “acting in a way that is incompatible with the dignity, honor, and decorum of the office.
Last week, the president jeopardized pension reform negotiations crucial to Brazil’s economic recovery when he told reporters at a breakfast meeting that he would be willing to lower the age at which women could retire, contradicting his economic minister’s long-standing position in the debate and irking his congressional allies.
