In three years and five months of government, President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) took advantage of a series of holidays, self-granted days off, and normal working days and prioritized leisure.
Seasons on the coasts of São Paulo, Santa Catarina and Bahia, going to soccer games, "motorcycles", horseback riding, "jeguiatas", "lanchaciata" have led to a profusion of images of the president driving jet skis, motorcycles, horses, having fun in football stadiums, amusement parks, restaurants or enjoying a sunny day on the beaches of the Brazilian coast.
According to the most recent Datafolha survey, 48% of the population disapprove of his management.
In these almost three and a half years, Bolsonaro left Brasilia 15 times to enjoy holidays and holidays on the coasts of São Paulo, Santa Catarina, and Bahia. In the same period of his first term, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) took off three times. Dilma Rousseff (PT), in seven.
Folha sent questions to the Presidency of the Republic about the president's routine, but there was no response.
