He was wearing a jacket with a slogan.federal military interventionHe said the following in front of his own camera: ‘If anyone doesn’t believe, here we are.

Various judicial fronts
The first sentences are known at a time when the siege around former president Jair Bolsonaro is advancing, not only because of his alleged relationship with the events of 8E, but also for other reasons, such as his attempt to seize gifts from other countries and the decisions he made during it. The epidemic that killed 704,659 people. In fact, he has already been banned from public office for eight years. Your son, Senator Flavio BolsonaroHe stated that when the STF learned of their decision, the judges “wanted to insist on the thesis that there was an intellectual brain behind all this and that there was no such brain. They wanted to say that it was Bolsonaro.” but there is no evidence.” He added that they were trying to impose denunciation agreements for some detainees as part of this road map.
Cid case
No analyst could not miss that Bolsonaro Jr. was talking about the case of Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, who did more than the secretary of the then president, sometimes in charge of public administrations and sometimes recommending maximum secrecy. Cid reached an agreement with the Federal Police to cooperate in several investigations involving the former Army captain. The officer had been behind bars since last May for forging his vaccination card and Bolsonaro’s vaccination card to travel together to Orlando, Florida, following his 1.8-point defeat at the polls against Lula.
The court ordered his release and he must appear in court every week. What comes out of his mouth will have legal and political consequences. The former president’s son isn’t the only one with this impression. According to the magazine vejaCid has already told PF that he gave some of the money from the sale of luxury watches he received from the Saudi State to his former boss. This money was deposited into the account of the officer’s father, retired general Mauro Lourena Cid, who then gave the money to Bolsonaro. The former president denied receiving $68,000. “His lawyers insist he never seized or misappropriated public property.”
According to ‘Carta Capital’ magazine, the lieutenant colonel’s award-winning accusation drove Bolsonaro into a corner. “With each passing day, more elements will emerge and we will become more certain of the existence of a coup plan involving the former president and Erdoğan.“He was infected to the teeth” said Lula when she learned the news about Cid’s case days ago. The first sentences of STF sound like this: Lula’s popularity reached 38%. 31% of people interviewed by consulting firm Datafolha disapprove of his management. Among them is a significant part of the far right’s voter base.
Even though its leader tries to remain unnoticed, Bolsonarism is a reality in Brazil. Folha de São Paulo columnist Reinaldo Azevedo recalls that it was an ideology as well as an electoral force. The former president may remain silent, but others speak on his behalf. Federal MP Nikolas Ferreira wore a blonde wig to mock transgender people, and his parliamentary colleague Gustavo Gayer went so far as to say that the “IQ of monkeys” is higher than Africans. “Although this metaphysics of underdevelopment includes them, it is much broader and has much deeper roots in society than many believe.”
