The journalist made headlines using a female piece borrowed from her cousin, now Bolsonarian Leda Nagle.
Those who follow the unflappable patience and calm speech of Fernando Gabeira on GloboNews cannot imagine the fury he caused in Brazil during the dictatorship.
Originally from Rio de Janeiro, he worked as a journalist and activist for a revolutionary group that promoted the armed struggle against the regime. In 1969 he participated in the kidnapping of US Ambassador Charles Elbrick.
The following year he was shot in the back while fleeing the police in Sao Paulo. Arrested, he was eventually released and went into exile. He has lived in Algeria, Italy, Sweden and Chile.
He returned to Brazil in 1979, benefiting from the amnesty law. He has resumed his career in journalism. He launched the book ‘O Que É Isso Companheiro?’, Chronicling his trajectory in activism.
Best seller, the work served as the basis for the screenplay of the homonymous feature film, directed by Bruno Barreto, nominated for an Oscar for best foreign language film in 1998.
In the early 1980s, Gabeira horrified the ruling military and conservative society with her boldness. He once he wanted to go to the beach and he didn’t have a bathing suit.
She took a thong dug out of her cousin’s closet, also a journalist Leda Nagle, who was working at the Globe at the time. Boldness spawned headlines and became a trademark of the former guerrilla.
Some time later she bought another thong, tiny and thin at the hips, similar to a bikini. It was the attraction of the hot sands of the south of Rio.
Gabeira’s clothing and behavior became symbols of liberal behavior during that time. There was a quest for sexual freedom and the deconstruction of male and female stereotypes.
“In exile, I was used to vacationing on nudist beaches in Greece. I didn’t imagine that the thong would turn into something scandalous, ”he told ‘O Globo’.
Having entered party politics (first in PT, then in PV), the journalist began to defend the LGBT + cause. Supported gay and lesbian applications. He led the environmental defense movement in Congress.
He served 4 terms as a federal deputy, was a candidate for mayor of Rio, governor of RJ and president of the Republic. In 2013 he joined GloboNews.
It has its own seasonal reporting program on deep Brazil. He appears almost daily as a political commentator. At 81 he was treated by his colleagues as a bulwark of journalism.
His faux pas are popular on social media. He has already been seen taking a live nap, being disturbed by his cat and dropping the camera. Impassive, he laughs at himself.
