Carlos Diogo Santos and João Porfirio, Special Visiting Envoys to Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
The setting couldn’t be better: a special view from Club Costa Brava to Rio de Janeiro – two Rios de Janeiro, one with the complex of high-rise buildings and houses in Rocinha. At the table, challenged by the Observer, are two great Brazilian actors from different generations and opposing political positions: Paulo Petty and Juliano Casarre.
A few hours before the election, Betty (from the soap operas Wereda Tropical, Tita, Malhazo, A Indomada, etc.) did not hide her pride in her candidate, Lula da Silva. In five years, he wants to have a country cut off from religion, “secular”, “protecting the racial status”, a good day-care center and good sex education in schools.
In the chair in front of him, Cazarré (who excelled in Amor à Vida, A Regra do Jogo and is now Pantanal’s top star) couldn’t be more distant. The actor insists that he envisions a country where people have more freedom to make decisions about their lives, but an economically prosperous country with strong families. It did not reveal its intention for the vote, but it explained why it agrees with the current Bolsonaro government on many issues.
