Datafolha Researcher Attacked by Bolsonarist in So Paulo

Case is one more in the current escalation of the hostility against professionals from the research institute

Sep.22.2022 12:36PM

A Datafolha researcher was attacked on Tuesday afternoon (20) with kicks and punches by a Bolsonarist in Ariranha (378 km from the capital), in an escalation of hostility against professionals from the institute in the midst of the electoral process.

The researcher was interviewing a person, when Rafael Bianchini approached and, screaming, began to demand that he also be heard for the survey. "Picks only Lula" and "slobs" were some of the terms shouted by the bolsonarist in the middle of the street.

The institute's researchers receive standardized training, which determines that people who offer to be interviewed must be avoided in order to ensure that the sample is random. The attack began when the researcher ended his interview with the other resident.

He was hit in the back, and the tablet used for the interview was knocked to the ground. When the researcher fought back, he was also attacked by a son of the bolsonarist.
