Nervous Staff – President stays tough
It seems that the impact of the news affected the Presidential Staff in charge to record the broadcast far more than the President himself.
During this 22 Minute live transmission, the first four Minutes are without Voice and Sound. At the beginning of the broadcast, nobody had noticed the failure to replicate the President’s speech.
Worldwide, President Bolsonaro is the third head of state infected with the Coronavirus. British Prime Minister Boris Johnson and Honduran President Juan Orlando Hernández had also been affected. Both overcame the disease weeks ago.
