Juca Kfouri now patrols even presidents.
A columnist for Folha demonstrates a lack of fair play and dissatisfaction with the meetings between Dilma, Lula, and FHC with the leadership of the CBF (Brazilian Football Confederation).
247 - Columnist Juca Kfouri, from Folha de S.Paulo, is today the head of the official patrol of the Brazilian sports press. A historical adversary of the leadership of national football, he tries to intimidate government officials into avoiding institutional meetings with the leadership of the Brazilian Football Confederation, in the midst of the Confederations Cup. Kfouri had already criticized former president Fernando Henrique Cardoso (read more). here) and today he did the same with President Dilma Rousseff and former President Lula.
Read below an excerpt from his column:
DEPRESSING
It's well known that José Maria Marin, instructed by brilliant crisis managers, has forced awkward encounters. But nothing explains why those who don't want to appear smiling by his side, as FHC, Lula, and President Dilma Rousseff did. Frankly, what a mess!
Certainly, Kfouri would like President Dilma, in the midst of preparations for the 2014 World Cup, to get caught up in a political battle that doesn't belong to her, jeopardizing the success of the event that Brazil is hosting.
In their meetings with the CBF leadership, FHC, Lula, and Dilma demonstrated maturity. Juca, however, has lacked fair play.
