Without a mask on a motorcycle: Bolsonaro collects another fine

Without a mask on a motorcycle
Bolsonaro receives another fine

Since the beginning of the corona pandemic, President Bolsonaro has played down the virus – even though Brazil is one of the worst hit by it. Now he is caught in the midst of thousands of people at a motorcycle rally – without a mask or distance. The state government of a political opponent asks him to pay.

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has again attracted attention for violating the corona measures. For attending an event without wearing a mask, the government of a political adversary fined him, according to the newspaper “Folha de S. Paulo”.

Eduardo Bolsonaro, MP and son of the President, and Infrastructure Minister Tarcísio Gomes were also fined 552.71 reais, the equivalent of 90 euros. Accordingly, the three did not wear a mask at a motorcycle rally with thousands of supporters in the metropolis of São Paulo and thus violated the state’s health regulations. The governor of the state of São Paulo, João Doria, is one of the rivals of President Jair Bolsonaro and a possible opponent in the 2022 elections.

In a speech in Ibirapuera Park, Bolsonaro, who played down the coronavirus from the start, again spoke out against the use of protective masks and social isolation measures. Only three weeks ago Bolsonaro took part in a motorcycle tour through the metropolis of Rio de Janeiro without a mouth and nose protection and gave a speech to his supporters.

Two days earlier, the government of the state of Maranhão fined Bolsonaro for provoking a mass crowd of his supporters in the village of Açailândia and for not wearing a mask, contrary to the law. The governor of Maranhão, Flávio Dino, is a member of the Brazilian Communist Party.
