A man was arrested on Wednesday evening (28) in Brusca, in the Itajai Valley, for setting fire to several objects, including a photograph of President and re-election candidate Jair Bolsonaro (PL), under the Statue of Liberty in a Havana store.

The movement was noticed by employees of the chain of stores, who managed to bring the fire under control before the flames spread through the building. According to the press service of Havana, the man would still say that he was cooking macumba.

The owner of the chain of stores, businessman Luciano Hang, dropped the lawsuit. “It is unfortunate to see how people resort to violence when faced with opposing opinions and positions,” he said.

The police were called and the man was arrested.
