In an interview with journalists this Saturday (25), the former governor of Minas Gerais Romeu Zema (Novo) said that the minister of the Federal Supreme Court (STF) Gilmar Mendes is “alienated” and needs to leave Brazil “to find out the damage that the Supreme Court has caused to those who work”.

Zema recalled Gilmar Mendes’ speeches when he insinuated the presidential pre-candidate as a “homosexual doll” and said that the former governor speaks a dialect “close to Portuguese” referring to the Minas Gerais accent. “I thought Minister Gilmar Mendes was a more educated man, because in one week he managed to offend homosexuals, he managed to offend the people of Goiás, the people from Minas Gerais,” said Zema.

The presidential pre-candidate also said that he talks “like millions of Brazilians” and thinks that Gilmar Mendes is “somewhat alienated and should know better”. “He is very surrounded by sycophants and is little aware of the real Brazil that those of us who produce live in on a daily basis”, he added.
