After a microphone capture a biased speech of President Jair Bolsonaro against the population of the Brazilian Northeast, Twitter was taken by innumerable criticisms to the figure of Jair Bolsonaro. Last Friday (19.Jul.2019), Bolsonaro used a pejorative term to refer to the governors of the region during an informal conversation with Minister Onyx Lorenzoni.
Several Brazilian artists, politicians, and journalists have spoken publicly against the president's speech. Many of them recorded videos or wrote on Twitter strongly criticizing the conduct of Jair Bolsonaro.
In commenting on the fact, Bolsonaro stated that he was not referring to the people of the Northeast in general. He said that the pejorative term was addressed to the governors of Maranhão, Flávio Dino, and Paraíba, João Azevêdo, two politicians of the Brazilian left.
Bolsonaro, therefore, did not apologize for the use of a pejorative word.
