Flora Matos on João Gomes

Flora Matos is drawing a hard line: she won't release songs to anyone backing criminals, and she calls the Bolsonaros major criminals straight up. She points out that someone handed over 200 thousand reais to the guy who murdered Marielle Franco, so if João Gomes sings her track, he's basically supporting a man pushing for the killer of a five-year-old child. Flora says that just doesn't fit João's personality at all. She suspects he was coerced into his original stance and only apologized later because threats were made against what he achieved. Flora knows exactly how that feels since she went through similar pressure herself. She's reaching out to João as a friend but makes it clear he has to defend Brazilian rights or there is no point in him singing her music.
