Our reward for pushing out tzdb 2019b to publish Brazil's DST abolition months
early, is that Brazilian President Bolsonaro is now threatening to change his
mind and not abolish DST after all. On Thursday, Bolsonaro signaled that
possibility as follows:
“A minha caneta Bic está à disposição de vocês, qualquer decreto pode ser
modificado. A gente entra em contato com a assessoria de assuntos jurídicos e
estuda. Se for o caso, a gente altera o decreto para atender o bem-estar da
população, sem extrapolar os limites da lei.”
Google Translate renders this as:
“My Bic pen is at your disposal, any decree can be modified. We get in touch
with legal counsel and study. If this is the case, we amend the decree to meet
the welfare of the population, without extrapolating the limits of the law.”
