Bras\u00edlia – O Conselho de \u00c9tica da C\u00e2mara arquivou duas representa\u00e7\u00f5es (12\/17 e 13\/17) contra o deputado Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSC-SP) por quebra do decoro (Fabio Rodrigues Pozzebom\/ Agencia Brasil)<\/p><\/div>\n

Earlier this month, Bolsonaro nominated his 35-year-old congressman son Eduardo to the position of Brazilian Embassador in Washington. And as if that wasn’t shameless enough, Eduardo promptly replied to the accusations of nepotism by arguing that he was perfectly qualified for the job, since he had already been to an exchange program in the US, frying burgers and improving his English skills. Who needs jokes when you have a governo<\/em> (government) like this? Well, luckily, Brazilians rose to the challenge and responded to this alleged scandal with the proper amount of sense of humour.\u00a0 One example would be by comedian and writer Renato Terra, who wrote a short article in his weekly column in the Folha de S\u00e3o Paulo newspaper satirizing the whole situation.<\/p>\n

In his text, Terra claims that the other Bolsonaro son, Fl\u00e1vio, got a job at the Naples embassy thanks to his pizza-making talent. So, if you are looking to practice your leitura<\/em> (reading) and vocabulary skills and stay up-to-date on the latest Brazilian noticias<\/em> (news), today’s post will help you help that. Take a look at the original text in Portuguese, see if you are able to identify the general context we have been discussing and scroll down to check my translation! :<\/p>\n

Depois de preparar pizza, Fl\u00e1vio Bolsonaro assume embaixada em N\u00e1poles<\/h3>\n

“Euf\u00f3rico com a pizza preparada pelo primog\u00eanito na semana passada, o presidente Jair Bolsonaro indicou Fl\u00e1vio para uma embaixada em N\u00e1poles, na It\u00e1lia. \u201cEle uniu ingredientes de maneira in\u00e9dita: rodelas de laranja, coentro, Coaf, tomate, Toffoli e jabuticaba\u201d, elogiou o presidente, lambendo os bei\u00e7os. \u201cAl\u00e9m disso, Fl\u00e1vio preparou a pizza de uma maneira que s\u00f3 ele sabe fazer. Foram 48 incurs\u00f5es ao forno de 2 fatias por vez\u201d, completou.<\/p>\n

Seguindo o crit\u00e9rio de eleger dotes culin\u00e1rios para escolher embaixadas para os filhos, Jair Bolsonaro foi questionado sobre o local que escolheria para Carlos. \u201cEle j\u00e1 fritou o Bebianno e o Santos Cruz. Mas por enquanto ele quer ficar em casa jogando videogame\u201d, disse o presidente.”<\/p>\n

After making pizza, Flavio Bolsonaro takes over embassy in Naples<\/em><\/h3>\n

Thrilled about the pizza his firstborn made last week, President Jair Bolsonaro appointed Flavio to an embassy in Naples, Italy. “He has put together ingredients in a new way: slices of orange, coriander, coaf, tomato, Toffoli and jabuticaba,” praised the president, sucking his lips. \u201cBesides, Flavio has made the pizza in a way that only he can do. There were 48 oven forays of 2 slices at a time, \u201dhe added.<\/em><\/p>\n

Following the criteria of electing culinary skills to choose embassies for his children, Jair Bolsonaro was asked about the location he would choose for Carlos. \u201cHe already fried Bebianno and Santos Cruz. But for now he wants to stay home playing video games, \u201dsaid the president.<\/em><\/p>\n
