Portuguese term or phrase: fazer festinhas
Le routier parle du gouvernement et dit :

"Pensam en fazer-nos festinhas no pelo, acariciar o pelo, pôr-nos aqui as maozinhas para que sejamos mais calminhos e mais meiguinhos".

Le langage est vraiment familier. Je ne vois pas comment le traduire en français sans être vulgaire.
