From GuerillaNews:
RIO DE JANEIRO, Brazil — A wiry Marxist revolutionary who kidnapped the U.S. ambassador to protest Brazil’s military dictatorship in 1969 could become Rio de Janeiro’s next mayor.
Fernando Gabeira still can’t get a U.S. visa, but he got a ringing endorsement from the daughter of the diplomat he held at gunpoint for four days.
“I think it’s fantastic,” said Valerie Elbrick, daughter of former Ambassador Charles Elbrick. “I’m excited and fascinated by it. I’m certainly sympathetic with his party and with his views.”
The 67-year-old motorcycle-riding congressman favors legalizing marijuana and gay marriage and defends the right of prostitutes to safely work.
