Brazil’s Culture Minister Roberto Alvim has been fired after giving a speech that appears to copy Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels. Alvim promised a “heroic decade” and played music by Hitler’s favorite composer. Brazil’s Culture Secretary Roberto Alvim was removed from his post on Friday, a day after he posted a video that appeared to show him copy Nazi propaganda chief Joseph Goebbels. The video, posted to his department’s Twitter account, went viral for its, at times, word-for-word similarity to speeches made by Goebbels. In the video, Alvim announced national prizes to revitalize the arts as music by Wagner, Hitler’s favorite composer, played in the background.
