“Today is November 22 and they have just arrested President Bolsonaro. Look, this is disgusting, isn’t it? On November 22, which is a public holiday, they arrested President Bolsonaro. This is the system we are going through. This is the system our country is going through,” declared the deputy mayor of the capital, São Paulo.
