As if it were a circus, the deputy returned to star in a show during the session. He used underwear for a few minutes as a mask. The message he wanted to convey was once again a rejection of the mandatory use of masks. The use of the undergarment was in the sense that as it is made of fabric, it offers some protection as stated several times by the health authorities.
During his oratory in the Lower House, he alluded to the criticism he receives for this type of message.
«They are already adding the votes to ask for my loss of investiture. But they are going to take me out for defending the damn National Constitution. And he told the Colorado colleagues to add the votes well. Now do we have to be afraid to speak pious? Up to that point we are falling », (sic.) He expressed.
He ironized that the cost of masks is high, so they cannot question that he used an undergarment as a face shield.
International media such as Infobae took the information. With the title; “A Paraguayan deputy attended a session of Congress covering his face with underwear”, the Argentine media takes the message of the legislator as a “mockery of health measures”.
BACKGROUND
Two weeks ago, Jorge Brítez, with his speeches against the Anti Covid-19 vaccine, caused the administrators of the You Tube platform to lift the transmission. The suspension lasted a week. But the warning remained that, if the speeches were repeated, the channel of the Chamber of Deputies would be permanently suspended.
The legislator even presented the bill “Protection against all types of discrimination for vaccinated people, with incomplete vaccination and / or not vaccinated against the SARS-CoV-2 virus.
CHLORINE DIOXIDE
At the beginning of July, Brítez published on his Facebook profile that he presented the bill to allow the use of chlorine dioxide to combat Covid-19. The suspension lasted 30 days.
“It is an alternative project and not mandatory. I spoke with people from Italy, Peru and Bolivia who are already using it, ”he argued at the time.
At the beginning of the pandemic, the same legislator urged citizens to burn their masks in the streets, claiming that the lack of oxygen can have health consequences.
MORE POLEMIC
Last March, the deputy presented a bill that establishes the sanction of two years of imprisonment or a fine for those who prohibit or prevent the use of the Guaraní language. This after the outrage in networks that caused a foreign merchant to prohibit their employees from using the language.
