In Brazil, President's Son Questions Democracy

Associated Press

   RIO DE JANEIRO - Like father, like son?

   A son of Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro has caused a stir by
   questioning democracy in Latin America's biggest country, which emerged
   from a two-decade military dictatorship in 1985.

   "The transformation that Brazil wants will not happen at the speed we
   are aiming for in democratic ways,'' tweeted Carlos Bolsonaro, a close
   aide to his father and a municipal councilor in Rio de Janeiro.

   Bolsonaro, 36, did not say what he meant by "transformation," but his
   father's governing party is struggling to implement economic and social
   changes since it has to form alliances to get a majority in congress.
