247 - The Globo news portal G1 published a report this Saturday, the 13th, about what it calls "controversial phrases" and "slip-ups" that Michel Temer's interim government has been accumulating over three months of its administration.
Without criticizing some of the absurd claims, the text merely states that remarks "from ministers and Temer himself generated intense negative repercussions, especially on social media."
Regarding Health Minister Ricardo Barros's statement this week that men go to the doctor less because they "work more" than women, contradicting IBGE data, G1 reports that it "was interpreted as 'sexist'."
