I wish I was there unfortunately I am far away – Neymar pledges his support to controversial president Jair Bolsonaro ahead of elections in Brazil

By Sushan Chakraborty Modified 29 Sep 2022 Follow Us 1 Comment Share Neymar publicly supports controversial Brazil president Bolsonaro Paris Saint-Germain (PSG) superstar Neymar has publicly backed Brazil's controversial president Jair Bolsonaro ahead of the general election on Sunday (October 2). Brazil’s far-right president Bolsonaro is a controversial figure. Elected in 2019, Bolsonaro has been heavily criticized for his lack of environmental awareness and response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Bolsonaro has a track record of expressing his homophobic and misogynistic views. He is also strongly against same-sex marriage and women’s right to abortion. Considering Bolsonaro is currently trailing center-left rival Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva in the polls, some are doubtful whether or not the president will accept the democratic outcome.
