since you came back BrazilAfter a long stay in Florida, Jair Bolsonaro consumes about 1200 Euros per day. According to the Rio de Janeiro newspaper ‘O Globo’, this is the largest public expenditure by a former president in that country’s republican history. This amount does not include the money reserved for his lawyers. Former retired captain saving lots of reasons. One of them, the one about spreading false news about the electoral system, was just banned from public office for eight years.
Investigations on coup attempt They’ve been building a fence around it since last January 8th. Bolsonaro had to testify at a police station in Brasilia on Thursday. refused to participate of a conspiracy denounced by Marcos del Val, who is as far-right a senator as that field’s leader.
Bolsonaro denied any ties to the legislator, but admitted that he had received him at his official residence, along with former lawmaker and far-right ex-policeman Daniel Silveira, whom he pardoned after serving a nine-year sentence while still in government. punishment for attacking democracy. The tripartite meeting lasted about 20 minutes, during which the former president said: there was no mention of “at all” “coup” because he insisted that he would not “accept” it because it “always” remained within the constitutional framework.
According to Del Val, who was an ally at the time, Bolsonaro and Silveira suggested that she seek an appointment with no other than Alexandre de Moraes, then president of the Supreme Electoral Court (STE) and member of the Federal Supreme Court (STF). but first of all, the judge on the back of which the then president vented his anger. Del Val said the idea was to force De Moraes to secretly record him saying something conciliatory, which would allow him to be blamed. The judge’s subsequent arrest would justify Bolsonaro’s persistence in the Executive despite Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s electoral victory in the October elections.
contradictions
For the far right, De Moraes created the conditions for its return to power. In principle, Del Val told ‘Veja’ magazine that Bolsonaro was the author of this maneuver. However, he later withdrew and assured the former captain that he remained “silent” as they spoke. Another rhetorical pirouette later attributed the order to the president to “perform the act” and after being warned that it would be “a very serious crime against democracy”, Bolsonaro escaped from United States of America A few hours before the inauguration of the Labor Party (PT) leader.
Del Val’s track record is not in his favor. At the beginning of February, De Moraes ordered a new investigation against him for revealing the coup plot to the press. At the same time, the Federal Police demanded his arrest. try to obstruct the investigation About the attack on the headquarters of the three forces in Brasilia in 8E.
Bolsonaro said, “Why plan something with the Senator? The transition was peaceful. No one from the PT questioned that it was not well received. Everything was communicated. (Del Val) gave an account of his actions.” headquarters police.
lots of reasons
For the fourth time so far this year, Bolsonaro has appeared before the Federal Police (PF) to testify as part of an investigation. In May, he denied involvement in the alleged events. falsification of vaccination certificates COVID-19 investigated by the authorities. He previously appeared to have denied involvement in the attacks on the public forces headquarters in Brasilia in January, as well as the irregular entry into Brazil of precious jewels gifted by Saudi Arabia in 2021.
The former president’s frequent visits to a PF facility coincide with attempts by the Lula administration to erase any possible traces of the far-right in the state. The government announced this Thursday the closure of the National Civil-Military Schools Program (Pecim), which its predecessor had created as a pedagogical shield against “cultural Marxism.” Former vice president and current right-wing senator Hamilton Mourão described the measure as “vengeful”.
They’re questioning his right hand.
In this context, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, who served as Bolsonaro’s private secretary during his presidency, appeared before the 8E investigation commission in Congress last Tuesday. The former captain delegated many trusted duties to him, including carrying his jee’s cell phone. cid He appeared before the deputies in uniform, which caused strong anger in Lula. The officer has been behind bars since May for holding fake vaccination certificates. He exercised his right to remain silent before the commission of inquiry.
