The vandals who attacked the Cuban Embassy have been identified. They are from the MBL (Movimento Brasil Livre).

Felipe Porto, an MBL activist, posted a photograph on social media showing himself, Kelly Bolsonaro, Cristiane Couto, and Marcelo Seixas de Araujo toasting Fidel Castro's death at the Cuban Embassy. His caption reads: “Kelly Bolsonaro, Cristiane Couto, Marcelo Seixas de Araujo, and I celebrating, this Sunday, at the door of the Cuban Embassy, ​​the departure to hell of the bloodthirsty dictator Fidel Castro, with lots of Cuba Libre, “La Habana” cigars, and fireworks, playing the Cuban National Anthem and trumpeting on the microphone the crimes and more than 100 deaths of the dictatorship on the prison island. The communists are going crazy, lol…”; text by Tereza Cruvinel

Yesterday I reported the outrageous scene in which half a dozen right-wing extremists destroyed the flowers and the tribute to Fidel Castro created by admirers in front of the Cuban Embassy. They have already been identified and are currently publicizing their own incivility, rudeness, and disrespect for the Cuban people.

Felipe Porto, an activist with the MBL (Free Brazil Movement), posted a photograph on social media showing himself, Kelly Bolsonaro, Cristiane Couto, and Marcelo Seixas de Araujo toasting Fidel's death at the entrance of the Embassy. His caption reads:

“I, Kelly Bolsonaro, Cristiane Couto, and Marcelo Seixas de Araujo celebrating, this Sunday, at the door of the Cuban Embassy, ​​the departure to hell of the bloodthirsty dictator Fidel Castro, with lots of Cuba Libre, “La Habana” cigars, and fireworks, playing the Cuban National Anthem and trumpeting through the microphone the crimes and more than 100 deaths of the dictatorship on the prison island. The communists are going crazy, lol…”.

He does not confess to the vandalism, the destruction of the flowers and objects, but the police have already identified them. The Cuban community in Brasília is outraged by the fascist demonstration and the disrespect shown at the time of death, which in all cultures is respected even when it involves an adversary.

Check out the moment when Raul Castro announces Fidel's death:
