Former president said that despite his words, he does not fear facing his opponents in the next elections
The former president, admitted that his statement about not caring about a possible prison was an exaggeration. He said that despite his words, he is not afraid to face his opponents in the next elections. This confession occurred during the 1st National PL Communication Seminar, where he approached the accusation of being ahead of an attempt at a scam in 2022. Bolsonaro also commented on the performance of an STF minister, suggesting that the goal would be to prevent him to compete in the elections. The Attorney General’s Office (PGR) filed a complaint against him, which may result in penalties of up to 50 years in prison. The former president remains firm in his position, challenging the accusations.
Former first lady, Michelle Bolsonaro, chose not to delve into the subject of her husband’s fear. Instead, he wiped out the Supreme Court and expressed his dissatisfaction with what he considers persecution. She referred to Jair as a “former and future president”, highlighting her belief in a political return. In 2023, the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) declared Bolsonaro ineligible for a period of eight years. However, he continues to claim that there is possibilities to reverse this decision. Councilman Carlos Bolsonaro, one of the former president’s children, expressed his concern about the country’s political situation, stating that Brazil “no longer lives a democracy” and expressing its pain by the condition of the family.
