Ticket sales for the Foo Fighters in Curitiba began last Thursday, the 4th. In a Globo news report about the line at the Couto Pereira Stadium ticket office, an interview went viral after a fan took advantage of the live moment to cheer for the arrest of former president Jair Bolsonaro .
Rafaela Folger, a fan from São Paulo , arrived early in line and appeared in other reports on the RPC channel, a Globo affiliate in Paraná, but only gave an interview to the Meio Dia Paraná shortly after purchasing tickets for the show.
During her appearance, Rafaela mentioned that she moved from São Paulo to Curitiba after seeing the Foo Fighters in the capital of Paraná – and took the opportunity to comment on the possibility of Bolsonaro's arrest, who is currently being investigated by the Federal Police.
“I came to Curitiba in 2018 for a Foo Fighters concert, got to know the city and decided to move here. I've been in Curitiba for five years and have a guaranteed ticket. And today is a very important day for Foo Fighters fans, we have tickets in hand and maybe even Bolsonaro in jail,” he said.
The reporter ended the interview with the fan immediately and continued with the story. In the online version of the report , the segment was deleted, and RPC's journalism department issued a statement about the incident: “Regarding the statement made by a Foo Fighters fan during the live broadcast (...), it is important to emphasize that RPC's journalism always defends the democratic right to protest, but we also remind everyone that there is a proper space for this type of expression. And that space is not during a live news broadcast. We apologize and regret this situation.”
