Education Minister Abraham Weintraub was carried by supporters of his and Jair Bolsonaro's government after leaving the Federal Police headquarters on Thursday afternoon (4), where he gave testimony about the accusation of alleged racism against the Chinese people. Upon arrival, Weintraub had already been greeted with shouts and chants of solidarity from the people who had gathered there in support of the Minister.


Support for the Minister of Education gained strength among the government's followers after the release of the video of the ministerial meeting on April 22, in which Weintraub calls ministers of the STF (Supreme Federal Court) “vagabonds” and asks for “jail” for them.




During the hearing of the Minister, he refused to answer the PF's questions and submitted his statements in writing. The investigation in which this Thursday's testimony will be included is being processed by the STF, under the reporting of Minister Celso de Mello.


The minister also recently refused to answer questions in the 'Fake News Inquiry' conducted by the STF itself.


Earlier this month, amid the coronavirus pandemic, Weintraub posted a satirical post on Twitter about the way Chinese people speak, which provoked a reaction from the Chinese embassy in Brazil. The minister insinuated that the Chinese could benefit from the coronavirus crisis. Chinese ambassador Yang Wanming called Weintraub a racist.


China's international relations policy has been to vehemently deny alleged blame for the Coronavirus pandemic, which originated in the Chinese city of Wuhan.
