Neymar complained on his social networks about some attacks he suffered after appearing in a video declaring support for the current president Jair Bolsonaro (PL), candidate for reelection.
“They talk about democracy and a lot of things, but when someone has a different opinion, they are attacked by the very people who talk about democracy. Go understand”, wrote the player on his Twitter.
Yesterday, the striker of the Brazilian team and PSG published on his TikTok a video dancing and singing a song in allusion to the politician.
“22 is Bolsonaro. Vote, vote and confirm, 22 is Bolsonaro”, says the jingle sung by Neymar – the presidential elections take place this Sunday (2) throughout Brazil.
As he is in Paris, the player will have to come to Brazil if he wants to turn the dance into a vote. It’s just that Neymar hasn’t transferred the voter title since he went to Europe. The player’s voting location is in Santos, as stated in the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) system.
According to the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, “voters who vote in Brazil cannot vote in transit abroad.”
A Datafolha survey carried out with face-to-face interviews, contracted by Rede Globo and the Folha de S. Paulo newspaper, released yesterday, pointed to stability in the first round scenario. Former president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) appears with 50% of the valid votes – that is, when blanks and nulls are excluded. Jair Bolsonaro appears with 36% of valid votes. The margin of error is plus or minus 2 percentage points.
