Brazilian far-right party deny Ronaldinho will be candidate
former Barcelona and Paris Saint-German star Ronaldinh
Rio de Janeiro - Al Maghrib Today
A far-right Brazilian party on Friday denied reports that World Cup-winning footballer Ronaldinho is to be one of its candidates in elections for the Senate.
"There is no agreement between the party and Ronaldinho for him to launch a bid for a Senate seat," the party, Patriota, said.
Patriota is led by Jair Bolsonaro, a firebrand former army officer dubbed the "Brazilian Donald Trump" who is riding high in opinion polls ahead of next year's presidential elections.
O Globo's website reported Thursday that former Barcelona and Paris Saint-German star Ronaldinho was to run for a seat in the southeastern state of Minas Gerais.
The article showed a photograph of Ronaldinho with Bolsonaro, with the footballer holding a copy of a book by the politician.
Patriota's president Adilson Barroso said: "He is not a member of our party, but the door is open and it would be an honour to have him with us."
Ronaldinho, 37, won the 2002 World Cup with Brazil.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Al Maghrib Today
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
