Fernando Paulo Nagle Gabeira ((:feʁˈnɐ̃du ɡaˈbejɾɐ); born February 17, 1941 in Juiz de Fora, Minas Gerais) is a Brazilian politician, author and journalist. He has been a federal deputy for the State of Rio de Janeiro since 1995. Because of his role in the kidnapping of the ambassador Charles Burke Elbrick, Gabeira cannot enter in United States and its territories.〔http://www1.folha.uol.com.br/folha/brasil/ult96u456947.shtml〕〔http://super.abril.com.br/superarquivo/1994/conteudo_114292.shtml〕 Gabeira has asked for a visa revision three times, and was denied each time.〔http://tribunadonorte.com.br/noticia/ex-militante-recebe-visto-dos-estados-unidos/127907〕 == Biography == He is best known for his book ''O que é isso, companheiro?'' (literally "What is this, comrade?"). Written in 1979, the book tells of the armed resistance to the military dictatorship in Brazil, and particularly describes the 1969 episode of the kidnapping of the American ambassador Charles Burke Elbrick, in which Gabeira took part as a member of MR8, a group trying to install a socialist government. The book was made into a movie in 1997, titled ''Four Days in September'' in English. The movie was nominated for many awards, including the Best Foreign Language Film by the Academy Awards. In a May 2009 interview with Ragga magazine, he said "I was in error" in kidnapping the American ambassador in 1969 and that he would never participate in anti-American activity now. Gabeira was also one of the founding members of the Green Party of Brazil, but left the group in 2002 to join the Workers' Party. Recently he rejoined the Greens, due to his disappointment with Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva's government, and also because of the way the Worker's Party was dealing with its remaining far-left members. During his exile, in the 70s, Gabeira lived in many countries such as Chile, Sweden and Italy. In Stockholm, the city that he spent most of his exile in, he studied Anthropology - at Stockholm University - and worked as a journalist as well as metro conductor.〔https://segueuserfiles.middlebury.edu/.../Fernando%20Gabeira.doc〕 Gabeira has repeatedly voiced his ideological support for the legalization of marijuana. Fernando Gabeira ran for the mayoral office in Rio de Janeiro, and was defeated by Eduardo Paes in the run off round on October 26, 2008 (49,3% – 50,7%). He also lost a bid to become Governor of Rio de Janeiro in 2010. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Fernando Gabeira」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
