Brazilians see red over pro-Bolsonaro mayor’s blue Santa grotto

Christmas attraction in Rio Branco is painted in the blue of mayor's party - then traditional red, then back to blue

Christmas has never been white in Rio Branco, a sweltering Amazon river town where December temperatures often soar close to 40C.

This year it may not be red either, owing to a politically charged ding-dong over the colour of a Santa's grotto that has been erected by the city's Jair Bolsonaro-supporting government.
