Senator Flávio Bolsonaro says Globo canceled interview over no-edits demand

gazetadopovo.com.br (Portuguese) —

Brazilian Senator Flávio Bolsonaro said Sunday that Rede Globo canceled an exclusive interview after he demanded it be aired uncut, accusing the network of fearing his version of events. Bolsonaro, who left Brazil for the United States on October 28 after a Supreme Court order to surrender his passports, claims the broadcaster prepared a report for Fantástico without giving him a right to reply. He also reiterated allegations of political persecution against him and his father, former President Jair Bolsonaro. The senator announced plans to give interviews to Brazilian and international outlets in the coming days, stating he can now speak freely from the U.S. without facing what he calls arbitrary judicial decisions.
