Brazilian Senator's Selfie Scandal Rocks Sports Betting Hearing
Brazilian Senator Interrupts CPI Hearing for Selfie with Influencer Brasília, Brazil – A surprising event unfolded during a Senate hearing on sports betting in Brasília. Senator Cleitinho Azevedo (Republicanos-MG) interrupted the session to take a selfie with influencer Virginia Fonseca, who was summoned to testify. The incident, which quickly spread across social media, has drawn criticism from the CPI president, Senator Dr. Hiran (PP-RR). The video shows Senator Azevedo asking Fonseca to send a hug to his wife and daughter before taking the picture. He also made a public appeal to Fonseca to stop promoting betting, stating, "Se tocar seu coração, como cristão, acaba com isso, não faz mais esse tipo de propaganda" ("If it touches your heart, as a Christian, end this, don't do this kind of advertising anymore"). Senator Hiran expressed disapproval, stating that he wouldn't allow the session to become a "circo" ("circus"). The CPI is investigating how influencers promote gambling on social media, a practice considered problematic due to its potential impact on minors and vulnerable individuals. The incident underscores the complexities of regulating online advertising and the influence of social media personalities. The unexpected interruption serves as a reminder of the challenges faced by regulatory bodies in balancing freedom of expression with the need to protect vulnerable populations.
