New York gala for Brazil President Bolsonaro loses some sponsors
New York - Several companies have ditched plans to sponsor a gala honoring Brazil's President Jair Bolsonaro in New York, after thousands of people demanded it be scrapped.
On Friday, US airline Delta, British daily Financial Times and consulting firm Bain & Company all confirmed to AFP that they would not sponsor the dinner as planned. Protesters have been gathering every night outside the Marriott Marquis Hotel in Times Square, seeking the complete cancellation of the event, at which Jair Bolsonaro is to receive the Person of the Year award.
