247 - Commenting on the post with pornographic video that President Jair Bolsonaro made on his Twitter account, the president of the Senate, Davi Alcolumbre (DEM), said, "It is important that we think carefully and evaluate everything we post on social media so as not to have a repercussion like what happened with this video."

Alcolumbre also said that everyone is free to express their opinions, but stated that Bolsonaro ignored the fact that he is president.

"I believe everyone is free to express their views. I have my freedom, just like any of the 200 million Brazilians. Of course, a post by the president of a country, which had the repercussions it did, needs to be very well evaluated, including in light of the government's own communication strategies," Alcolumbre emphasized.

He said that the post expresses Bolsonaro's opinion and also issued a warning about inequalities and prejudices. "Regarding the post that the President of the Republic put on his social networks, it is his opinion. My opinion as a citizen is that we have to work to improve Brazil, to reduce inequalities, to reduce prejudices," he said.
