The campaign team of former leftist Brazilian President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva dug up an old video of Bolsonaro saying he can eat human flesh. In this New York Times interview in 2016, Bolsonaro, then a simple federal representative, talks about the rituals of the Yanomami indigenous group in the state of Roraima (North). “They cook it for two or three days and eat it with bananas,” Bolsonaro says in a post that was circulated on social media. “I wanted to see how an Indian cooks … I was told if you saw it, you should eat it. ..I eat it!” “After all the nonsense that Brazil heard from Bolsonaro, one more thing is even more terrible: he shows that he is going to eat human meat, Brazil can no longer tolerate Bolsonaro,” the audio commentary for the recording says. Bolsonaro’s team responded that “these statements were taken out of context” and announced an appeal to the electoral authorities. For his part, Yanomami leader Junior Hikurari categorically denied the existence of cannibal rituals in his culture. As for Bolsonaro, who regularly accuses Lula of being a “thief”, he called the former president at a press conference on Friday at Alvorada Palace, his official residence in Brasilia, “drunk.” The outgoing president said, “Lula will bring in a gang that has no right to run Brazil and it won’t work,” emphasizing that “our freedom is at stake!” The former left-wing president responded that he would not react to “Bolsonaro’s game”, adding: “We are facing a man without soul and heart.”
