Actor and writer Pedro Cardoso said in an interview with TV 247 that, in his opinion, fascists and Nazis, incorporated into Jair Bolsonaro's government, should be excluded from public debate.

247 - Actor and writer Pedro Cardoso, in an interview with TV 247, stated that it is impossible to dialogue with or even coexist with Nazis and fascists, who are currently in Brazil incorporated into Jair Bolsonaro's government. According to Cardoso, trying to socially coexist with these people is "stupid." The artist recalled... Nazi-themed staging by former Secretary of Culture Roberto Alvim, which, in his view, laid bare the ideological roots of Bolsonaro. According to Pedro Cardoso, Alvim is the "eternal Secretary of Culture of the [Bolsonaro] government." "Bolsonaro never denied that and never will. The eternal Secretary of Culture of his government is this Alvim, that Nazi expression is the project of these people, these people are completely sick, completely sadistic, they want to eliminate everything, everything, everything that is affective in Brazil. They are people for whom, I think, we should have no leniency and no dialogue."
The actor also revealed feeling embarrassed knowing that there are Brazilians who adopt fascist discourses and practices. “I could talk to several Brazilian governments, I could discuss Brazilian culture with a government from the Novo party, with a government from the old PSDB, the current one I don't know anymore because it's not quite what it used to be. We could discuss it. With this Nazi, fascist project, I think it's foolish to try to have any kind of dialogue. My position is the absolute rejection of coexistence. I never proposed not buying something because of the ideology of the store owner, but today I do. I refuse to enter a store that supported and supports the fascism and Nazism of the project personified in Bolsonaro. I don't want to have any relationship with these people. If they are Brazilian, I am not Brazilian. Unfortunately, I have a legal constraint in sharing a nationality with them, but it's only a legal constraint. The Brazilians I like are not just left-wing people, but decent people.”
