Julinho Bittencourt, Fórum Magazine - Education Minister Abraham Weintraub, one of the most notorious provocateurs in President Jair Bolsonaro's (No Party-RJ) government, often offends everyone from students to Chinese people. This time, however, he decided to join the chorus of victimhood from the Planalto Palace. The minister stated in a series of tweets on Tuesday (2) that he and his family have been receiving death threats and insults.

Weintraub also says that he, his wife, and children had their cell phones and personal data violated: “In the early hours of the morning, objects were thrown into our living room and there were more threats (filmed and reported to the police). Look at the group that is attacking us.”

According to Weintraub, “this has been happening all over Brazil. Many patriotic families are being threatened. Our homes are no longer safe. They want to silence us.”
