Shadow government destroys Bolsonaro's tribute to those killed by Covid-19

The unusual tribute to the victims of Covid-19 in Brazil was broadcast live on social networks: Gilson Machado, President of the Agency for the Promotion of Tourism, interprets, at Bolsonaro’s request, a version of the accordion (known in Brazil as accordion) of “Holy Mary”.

During the musical moment, the President of Brazil, wearing the usual tracksuit, rearranges papers on the desk and looks around, showing obvious boredom. The video is so unusual that it has traveled the world, not only on social networks, but also in the media of several countries.

Ricardo Araújo Pereira notes that not only had he never heard “Avé Maria” in an accordion, but he continues with the feeling of not having heard it, such is the quality of the interpretation: “What we hear can be both Avé Maria de Schubert and Congratulations to You”, says the humorist, also noting that it is not even clear that the tribute is dedicated to the people who died: “Bolsonaro says: it is a tribute to those who are gone, but he does not say that they are people. It seemed to me a very beautiful tribute to a dead cat. Even because the tribute reproduces the sound of cats that are sick.” – concludes Ricardo Araújo Pereira.

João Miguel Tavares tries to imagine what many Brazilians may have felt, when watching such a show: “I think that for any Brazilian with an IQ above 100, it must have that feeling of being a Roman during the invasion of the barbarians. We look at that and think: what happened to Brazil?”

Pedro Mexia comments that the tribute is at the level of the concern that Bolsonaro has shown with the dramatic situation that Brazil is experiencing: “If it were a Head of State concerned for his fellow citizens, it would be a mass of requiem, 40 cannon salutes … So, it is a” accordion “! It is” national-accordion “, it is the Bolsonarist ideology”. Pedro Mexia is really desolate: “This is a Head of State of a country that is not a micro-republic with 500 thousand inhabitants. It is one of the great countries in the world, not only in terms of population and size, but a country spoken a few years ago as one of the BRICs (acronym for Brazil, Russia, India and China, the group of developing countries that stood out on the world stage), one of the emerging countries that could have a seat at the concert of nations … now, it is “accordion.” – the Mint.
