Washington - President Jair Bolsonaro arrives at 4:18 pm in the United States, where he meets Tuesday with American President Donald Trump. A group of 60 protesters staged a protest outside the White House on Sunday afternoon, 17, against Bolsonaro's visit. They had already demobilized at the time of the arrival of the Brazilian president and the access to the street was closed by the American secret service.
On Twitter, when he landed in Washington, he said that the union between Brazil and the US "scares defenders of backwardness and tyranny." "For the first time in a long time, a Brazilian president who is not anti-American comes to Washington. It is the beginning of a partnership for freedom and prosperity, as Brazilians have always wanted," wrote Bolsonaro.
Many of the participants expressed fears that the relationship between the two heads of state could raise tensions in Venezuela, with negative effects on political stability in South America, and declared themselves as anti-fascists. The event was organized by the group "DC United against hate", in a free translation of the title "DC United against hate."
"Bolsonaro and Trump legitimize the far right on a global level as they take on a dangerous rhetoric against various sectors of society," said Michael Shallal, one of the organizers of the protest, a museum worker in Washington. One of his main fears is that "the United States could spread imperialism through South America, especially with a blow to Venezuela, with military interventionism."
For Barbara Silva, a translator and teacher of Portuguese and Spanish in the American capital, Bolsonaro defends "a hate speech", based on many prejudices against women, blacks and supporters of the LGBT movement. She also points out that the defense of the Brazilian president of Juan Guaidó as legitimate president of Venezuela may also increase tension between the governments of Brasilia and Caracas. "I fear that the US can use the approach with the new Bolsonaro administration to sell more weapons, which is certainly not something that is favorable to peace."
Barbara held two posters, one in which she said "all against the fasci" and another with the photos of Trump and Bolsonaro with the phrase "He does not" in Portuguese and English. She also pointed out that from the meeting between two leaders there may be positive news. "There is an agenda that should deal with economics, like beef exports from Brazil to the United States, which is favorable. There will not be only negative points of the meeting," he said.
In the evaluation of the policy analyst of a non-governmental organization, whose first name is Jessi, Bolsonaro has many similarities with Trump for having an intolerant stance against "people who do not think like him", which creates an environment of animosity and division Social. "It would be important for the president of Brazil not to adopt a behavior so close to that of Donald Trump, but I have no expectation that Jair Bolsonaro will change in the short term, which is bad."
"Bolsonaro represents a kind of religious fascism and discriminates against black people, encourages police violence, and since he was elected we have heard more and more news of homosexuals and blacks killed by the police. Rhys Baker, a 31-year-old English speaker who works in digital communication on a TV network. He said he learned of Brazil's situation through American journalist Glen Greenwald.
Already Ben, an American activist who did not want to say his last name, did a post-graduate degree in Latin American studies and said he had many Brazilian friends in Washington. "Bolsonaro represents everything I am against: sexism, racism, homophobia, transphobia. It is terrible in all spheres," he said.
The call for action was made through social networks by the movement titled DC United Against Hate. The call for movement contained the words: "without Bolsonaro in DC! Solidarity with international anti-fascism".
Bolsonaro arrived this afternoon in Washington, where he will stay until Tuesday night. He will be staying at the Blair House, the residence of American government guests, in front of the White House. The Brazilian's first commitment will be dinner with representatives of the conservative American movement. Monday will be aimed at meetings with entrepreneurs and investors, and on Tuesday, Bolsonaro will have a bilateral meeting with US President Donald Trump.
