Lawyers for former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro told Supreme Court Judge Alexandre de Moraes they found it unreasonable for the politician to stay in the Hungarian embassy for two days to seek asylum. This was reported by G1.
“Given the absence of the possibility of preventive detention, it is unreasonable to assume that the visit of the applicant (Bolsonaro – socialbites.ca) to the embassy of a foreign state was a request for asylum or an attempt to escape. The recent introduction of restrictive measures makes this assumption extremely unlikely and unfounded,” continues the text of the letter.
Before that Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs (MFA) called the ambassador In Hungary, Miklos Halmay announced that Bolsonaro, who is under investigation, will stay at the Hungarian diplomatic mission for two days. The newspaper also writes that the meeting lasted twenty minutes. Brazil was represented by Maria Luisa Escorel de Morais, Secretary of European and North American Affairs of the Brazilian Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Halmay listened to the complaints but did not comment.
Brazil believes that this move is an intervention by a European country in the internal affairs of a Latin American state.
