Newspapers at kiosk STORYLINE: Speaking at an event to celebrate the 211th anniversary of Brazil's marines, President Jair Bolsonaro on Thursday stated that "democracy and liberty only exist when the Armed Forces want them to." Bolsonaro did not make mention of the outrage he aroused just one day after sharing an explicit video on Twitter. Bolsonaro made the post Tuesday night, criticising the freewheeling celebrations of Carnival, which many Brazilian conservatives like himself detest as heathen and immoral. The far-right president himself was one of the main targets of revellers' mockery during this week's Carnival, a time when samba schools and organisers of thousands of street parties traditionally take politicians to task. Bolsonaro's post included video of a Sao Paulo street party in which a man wearing a jockstrap touches himself sexually, then lowers his head while another man urinates on him. Bolsonaro wrote "I feel uncomfortable showing it, but we have to expose the truth for the population to know and always make its priorities." "This is what many street parties in Brazil's Carnival have become. Comment and draw your conclusions," he added. Twitter did not immediately respond to a request for comment Wednesday.
