Just over 48 hours after the Federal Police found the remains that would have been British journalist Dom Phillips and Brazilian indigenist Bruno Araújo Pereiramurdered in Vale do Javari, extreme southwest of Amazonas, President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) will go to the state capital – but for a motorcycle ride with his supporters.
The event is scheduled to take place on Saturday, the 18th, starting at 3 pm, departing Ponta Negra and ending at Arena Amazônia, after traveling, according to the organizers, to the four corners of the city. At night, the president will still go to an evangelical event, which will have the presence of Pastor Silas Malafaia, his unconditional ally – on May 28, Bolsonaro had already participated in the March for Jesus in the city.
The demonstration is convened by right-wing groups and Bolsonar politicians such as Colonel Alfredo de Menezes, pre-candidate for the Senate, federal deputy Captain Alberto Neto and the founder of the Amazonas Conservative Movement, Sérgio Kruke, who is a pre-candidate for state deputy – all for Bolsonaro’s PL.
On Twitter, there are many people questioning the convenience of the event amidst the atmosphere of commotion over the death of Dom and Bruno.
The nameless threatens to do motociata next Sunday in Manaus and in the name of Jesus. If it occurs, in addition to being a mockery, it is a lack of respect and sensitivity to human life and the families of Bruno Pereira and Dom Phillips, which will leave the whole world astonished.

So that means that Saturday there will be a motorcycle rider in Manaus to commemorate the deaths of Dom and Bruno…

Bolsonaro goes to Manaus to ride a motorcycle. Needless to say, this man despises any level of humanity.
