247 - Jair Bolsonaro contradicted Vice President Hamilton Mourão on Thursday, the 26th, who had defended social isolation in the fight against the coronavirus pandemic.
"I'm the president, man. I'm the president," Bolsonaro said in a conversation with journalists in front of the Alvorada Palace.
“The ministers follow my instructions. And Mourão has been very helpful, collaborating, giving opinions; he’s someone who’s on my side. He’s your backup. If I kick the bucket, you’ll have to accept Mourão. He’s a good person, you can be sure of that,” he declared.
Mourão said that the government's official position is social isolation and that Bolsonaro misspoke. "The government's position for now is only one: the government's position is isolation and social distancing," said the vice president (read more in...). Brazil 247).
