These are presidents who, according to the media in general, go over the head of someone convicted on three counts of having undermined the finances of institutions in Brazil. They are people who don't care about the welfare of the people. Perhaps they think that misappropriating something is best. May the people not use toilet paper, make dogs their food for not having anything to eat. Perhaps, “naively”, they do not know that this “fantastic” human being is linked to the doll Pinocchio. I think his end God will provide, for better or for worse.
