    It's really painful. The president and his son celebrated on Twitter when congressman Jean announced he was not coming back to Brazil.

    Marielle, a city councilwoman for Rio de Janeiro, from the same party as Jean, was assassinated early in 2018 in a professional hit.

    The only silver lining is that the new congressman taking the vacant seat is very good, I know a lot about him and trust him to do a good job, although I fear for him. When a congress seat vacates unexpectedly, the runner-up within the original congressperson's party in the last election takes over.
