New York, September 21 (RHC)-- Brazil’s far-right President Jair Bolsonaro is in New York City to participate in the UN General Assembly session, where he spoke on Tuesday.
Bolsonaro, who has bragged about not being vaccinated, was spotted eating pizza with his entourage on the sidewalk outside a Manhattan pizzeria. New York restaurants require proof of vaccination against COVID-19 for entry.
This comes after a member of Bolsonaro’s UN delegation tested positive for coronavirus after arriving in New York.
On Monday, New York Mayor Bill de Blasio had this response: “We need to send a message to all the world leaders, including, most notably, Bolsonaro from Brazil, that if you intend to come here, you need to be vaccinated. If you don’t want to be vaccinated, don’t bother coming.”
