O Ministério da Igualdade Racial encaminhou nesta manhã (25) ofícios ao Ministério da Justiça e Segurança Pública e à Procuradoria Regional Eleitoral no Estado do Rio de Janeiro para que os dois órgãos investiguem um episódio de crime racista ocorrido na tarde de ontem (24) durante manifestação em favor do candidato Flávio Bolsonaro. Um vídeo publicado em diversas redes sociais e sites de notícias mostraram um militante bolsonarista branco conduzindo um homem negro acorrentado, durante o último ato de campanha do candidato à Presidência da República, senador Flávio Bolsonaro (PL), neste sábado (24), na Praça do Ó, na Barra da Tijuca, no Rio de Janeiro.

Na imagem é possível ver que o apoiador de Flávio Bolsonaro estava vestido de calça e jaqueta verde e branco com aplicações da bandeira do Brasil, camisa e tênis azuis. O homem negro acorrentado estava com uma camisa com listras vermelho e preto, bermuda preta e carregava um tridente. O homem branco se refere ao homem negro como “Luladrão, Satanás e Capiroto”. “É inaceitável que uma pessoa negra seja acorrentada e humilhada, especialmente por reproduzir uma dinâmica já reconhecida pela Organização das Nações Unidas como o maior crime já cometido contra a humanidade”, apontou em nota do Ministério da Igualdade Racial. “Cenas como essa, especialmente no contexto eleitoral, têm um significado ainda mais profundo sobre as marcas que nossa sociedade ainda carrega sobre o período escravagista e como ele segue ferindo nossa nação”, completou a pasta. Mais cedo, a deputada federal eleita pelo Rio de Janeiro Anielle Franco (PT) publicou uma mensagem no seu perfil na rede social X informando que iria acionar o Ministério da Igualdade Racial para que adotasse as medidas necessárias tanto em relação ao caso de racismo no Rio de Janeiro quanto ao de intolerância religiosa em Belo Horizonte, ambos ocorridos em atos bolsonaristas. Na capital mineira, uma mulher rasgou uma imagem de Nossa Senhora Aparecida, durante um ato pró Flávio Bolsonaro. “Estive na live do Exército do Lula com Janones, Muka e Rafael Infante. Falamos de mobilização e virada de votos, mas também de dois absurdos: racismo na Barra e intolerância religiosa em BH. Vou procurar o Ministério da Igualdade Racial para entender as medidas cabíveis. Não vamos deixar passar!”, disse Anielle na publicação.
