BEWARE OF FONSECA
PORTO ALEGRE, RS (FOLHAPRESS) – Advisors Alexandre Bobadra (PL) and Leonel Radde (PT) were involved in a fight this afternoon in Porto Alegre.

The video of the confrontation between them shows a fight, agglomeration, running and a chair in the very center of the city, near November 15 Square.

Before becoming councilors and being elected in the 2020 municipal elections, both were police officers: Bobadra of the Criminal Police and Radde of the Civil Police. This year, Radde was elected a people’s deputy.

Radde posted the video of the moment on his Twitter profile. It can be seen Bobadra in a yellow jacket walking towards a PT who is wearing a black shirt while another man in a white shirt is trying to stop him.

The LP advisor then appears to be trying to wrest something from Radde’s hands and other people approach him.

A man falls, images blur as the violence escalates. A man in a red striped shirt can be seen attacking others with a chair behind his back. Then a car shows up and the military police intervene.

Before posting a video of the incident on his profile, Radde posted another one in which he says he’s on his way to the Police Palace to file a case about being “hit several times” by Bobadr.

According to PT, he was in the middle of collecting illegal campaign apocryphal material when he was attacked by a colleague.

On his Twitter profile, the former mayor of Porto Alegre, José Fortunati (União), posted a video showing part of the discussion before it escalated into violence.

Bobadra appears before Radde in high spirits and says: “You will not go to our tent again, do you hear? You have committed a crime. You broke into our tent and took our things. You do not know. You don’t come into our tent anymore.” Rudde shakes his head when the advisers say that “material without CNPJ is a crime.”

On Saturday morning (22) Radde’s lawyer sent a note stating that the counselor had filed a bodily injury and electoral crime case.

According to PT, Bobadra “was offended after Radde said that the campaign materials could not be linked because they did not meet the requirements of the electoral law.”

He also states that with the arrival of the military police, Radde was “already leaving the place when he was thwarted and cowardly attacked” and that “he never even retaliated for the aggression he endured, he just left.”

The newsletter also uploaded a new video of Radde dodging a punch and running towards a bar, where he is attacked by Bobadr, who is in turn hit in the back by other people.

Bobadra did not respond to the report’s attempts to contact him.

The owner of the bar where the fight broke out, who asked not to be named, said his table and three chairs broke during the fight. However, he said that representatives of both sides had already sought him out to apologize and talk about the damage done.

Basically, he regrets the panic among the clientele. According to him, during the fight, advisers and assistants ran up to the table, at which the woman held three children, one of whom was in her lap.
