The MBL (Free Brazil Movement) summit is analyzing this Friday (4th) a series of sexist audio messages allegedly sent by state deputy Arthur do Val (Podemos-SP), @Mamãe Falei, during his trip to Ukraine.

In the audio messages, the pre-candidate for the Governor position in São Paulo would have stated that Ukrainian women are "easy" to get because they are poor - and that you can find more beautiful women in the line of refugees at the war zone than in some of the "best clubs in Brazil".

. . .

Arthur do Val supposedly also claimed that he didn't "hook up with anyone" during his expedition to the country at war, but that he is already planning to buy his air ticket to Eastern Europe for 2023. "I'm 35 years old, man, I've never lived this. I didn't even hook up with anyone here, I didn't hook up with anyone here, but just the feeling of knowing that I could do that and feel like someone... Anyway, you already know, right?[laughs]. I'm already buying my ticket to Eastern Europe next year, as soon as I arrive in São Paulo", he says.

"I've never in my life, never, never seen anything like that in terms of beauty in a girl. The refugee line, brother, l don't know... Dude, really, I'm lost for words. Picture a line of 200 meters or more, like that, filled only goddesses", he says. "If you wait in line at the best nightclub in Brazil, the absolute best, at the best time of the year, you don't get even close to the level of beauty found in the refugee line here."

"easy" compared to Russian women...

Walk around Brazil saying that out loud to every woman you come across, by all means. Go ahead.

Brazilian politician’s sexist remarks about Ukraine refugees spark outrage

Arthur do Val heard in leaked audio messages calling women fleeing war ‘easy because they’re poor’

A prominent member of the Brazilian right is facing calls to resign after he was exposed in leaked audio messages making a succession of callous and misogynistic remarks about Ukrainian refugees during a purportedly humanitarian mission to the recently invaded country.

Arthur do Val, a São Paulo congressman and former supporter of Brazil’s rightwing president, Jair Bolsonaro, made a three-day trip to the region last week, supposedly to raise awareness of the human cost of Vladimir Putin’s attack.

On Thursday Do Val, 35, tweeted a photograph of himself surrounded by crates of motolov cocktails in the border city of Uzhhorod. His traveling partner, the rightwing activist Renan Santos, said they had donated thousands of dollars, helped refugees cross the border and “filmed the reality of a country at war”.

Such ostensibly noble objectives were shattered on Friday, however, when the Brazilian media published audio messages in which Do Val spoke in highly offensive terms about Ukrainian refugees – more than 1.3 million of whom have fled overseas since Vladimir Putin’s 24 February invasion.
