The former president () stated this Wednesday (22) that he has the feeling that he will be arrested because of the investigations investigating the coup d’état, the fraud on his vaccination card and also the jewelry presented by .
The president stated that he wakes up every day with the feeling that he will be the target of an operation by the Federal Police — a corporation that he said “has a side” and that is “persecutory”.
“I wake up every day with the feeling of the PF at the door. What is the accusation? It doesn’t matter,” said the former president.
The statements were given to the AuriVerde Brasil channel. This is the second time this week alone that Bolsonaro appears on the channel, where he is rarely questioned about controversial topics and has the freedom to convey his messages.
Declared ineligible by the (Superior Electoral Court) until 2030 for attacks and lies about the electoral system, the former president was indicted last year in three investigations: against Covid-19 and, more recently, the attempted coup State.
“What are they going to arrest me for? The issue of jewelry is there. There is the [Tribunal de Contas da União] saying that Lula’s watch is his, saying that Congress really has to make a law to regulate the issue of gifts. All the gifts I received I returned,” said the former president.
During his appearance on the channel, he regretted not being able to travel to the United States for Donald Trump’s inauguration. His request to recover his passport was denied last week by the minister of the (Federal Supreme Court).
Bolsonaro then said that he does not intend to flee the country and that he would have done so already, if that was his wish.
“I never thought about leaving in good shape. I could have left back there and stayed. I want to stay here to fight with my country”, he stated.
At another point, Bolsonaro spoke about the 2026 elections and criticized the possibility of a “third way” or a “clean right”.
The former president also praised Trump’s decision to withdraw the United States from the World Health Organization. And then criticized the entity for its actions during the Covid-19 pandemic.
At that moment, Bolsonaro read a report prepared by a committee of the American Congress, in which he resumed his denialist speeches, such as criticism of vaccines and the use of protective masks.
