Does Paulo Guedes support sex tourism?
"Hey Damares. Damares. Damares. Let everyone… Damares. Damares. The president, the president talks about freedom. Let everyone screw themselves however they want. Especially if the guy is an adult, vaccinated, and a billionaire. Let the guy screw himself, man!", said Guedes.
Near the end of the fateful ministerial debauchery of April 22nd, the floor is given to Paulo Guedes.
In his arrogance, the Minister of Economy unleashes an overwhelming litany of insults, such as privatizing the Bank of Brazil, declaring war on public employees, announcing fantastical figures, and boasting about books he claims to have read, among other things.
Perhaps that's why one part went unnoticed.
This refers to the one in which Pinochet's former aide appears to defend sex tourism. His intention is to attract dollars to the country. Read more:
PAULO GUEDES:
The same thing with ours... the problem with the game there in... there in... the integrated resources.
There's no problem at all. They're billionaires, they're millionaires. Executives from all over the world. The guy comes, and... they hold conventions... look, tourism in Singapore went from five million to thirty million a year.
Brazil receives six. A small city receives… thirty million tourists.
The president's dream of turning Rio de Janeiro into Cancún, Angra dos Reis into Cancún.
That place could turn into Cancún in no time. You understand? The same thing there in Es… uh, Spain.
Spain receives thirty, forty million tourists. That's a city in Asia. Macau receives twenty-six million today in… in China. Just because of this business. It's a business center. It's only for adults. The guy goes in, leaves the money he earned the day before yesterday there – he leaves it there, drinks, and leaves happy as can be.
That thing over there doesn't bother anyone. That doesn't bother anyone. Let everyone else screw themselves.
Oh Damares. Damares. Damares. Let everyone… Damares. Damares. The president, the president talks about freedom. Let everyone screw themselves however they want. Especially if the guy is an adult, vaccinated, and a billionaire. Let the guy screw himself, man! There's no… no one gets in there, no little Brazilian gets in there.
[General laughter]
DAMARES: If C… if C…
PAULO GUEDES: No unprotected little Brazilian will get in. Got it?
DAMARES… if the CGU agrees. If the CGU has the means to control the inflow and outflow of money.
PAULO GUEDES: Okay, let's go then.
Let's repeat the passage:
"It's just a matter of age. The guy goes in, leaves the money he earned the day before yesterday there – he leaves it there, drinks, and leaves happy as can be. It doesn't bother anyone. Let everyone screw themselves over. Oh, Damares. Damares. Damares. Let everyone… Damares. Damares. The president, the president talks about freedom. Let everyone screw themselves over however they want. Especially if the guy is an adult, vaccinated, and a billionaire. Let the guy screw himself over, man!"
Brazil doesn't know Brazil…
