When he went to New York and inaugurated the 76th UN General Assembly, Jair Bolsonaro copied the international news, which presented him as an outcast of the world who ate pizza on the sidewalk because he was not vaccinated. I am at the antipodes of this analysis, shared by most of my colleagues. The far-right who governs Brazil has not embarrassed either the country or himself. It is just the opposite. Bolsonaro mocked democracy on a world stage, his lies were translated into various languages, and he returned home hailed by his followers for daring to challenge the part of the world he despises. Welcoming a president who boasts of not having been vaccinated, the shame goes to Joe Biden's United States and Bill de Blasio's New York. The one who is ashamed is, mainly, the UN.Bolsonaro despises the fight against the pandemic with acts and deeds and crosses the American border with such enthusiasm. The Brazilian will also laugh for a long time at the feat of opening the assembly of the international body by spreading lies.

It is useless to stamp a pathetic Bolsonaro on the news, the subject of jokes and cartoons in the press.

Bolsonaro entered the United States without having been vaccinated and this is the main fact.

It also doesn't do much good to write articles and reviews that show you lied about almost everything.

His followers and some non-followers consider that everything that the liberal press says is fake news, and they do not even read, see or hear it.

A part of the planet, and not just Brazil, believes that it can decide what is true if the lie suits it.

This is how elected dictators, like Bolsonaro, destroy democracy from within. If the instruments of democracy are unable to prevent someone like him from speaking at the UN, in person, without being vaccinated, what good are they? If the only thing that Brazilian institutions can do are (more) speeches about how Bolsonaro ridicules the country, instead of preventing him from continuing to govern, what good are they? This is shame.

I would like to affirm that this nightmare happens because democracy did not foresee the existence of creatures like Bolsonaro, but it would be naive.

Bolsonaro is the product of the deformations of a democracy that has not reached the most helpless layers of the population and is a product of the cynicism of liberal capitalism.

Bolsonaro is where he is because the companies and governments that represent them continue to make money and benefit from it.

By giving the comb to those who were demonstrating against Bolsonaro, Marcelo Queiroga told the greatest truth of the UN Assembly.

And now the Brazilian Minister of Health rests in a luxury hotel in New York after testing positive for covid-19 while Brazil borders 600,000 deaths.
