During conversation with journalists, Bolsonaro emphasized that the main focus will be the organization of applications in the states: ‘Many people want to come to the Senate, but there are no vacancies for everyone’
The former president met on Wednesday (12) with, president of PL, for the first time in over a year. They gathered at the liberal party headquarters and went out to have lunch together at a steakhouse in Brasilia. Yesterday, the STF minister, Alexandre de Moraes, overthrew precautionary measures and authorized contact between politicians, who even spoken by telephone.
During conversation with journalists, Bolsonaro emphasized that the main focus will be the organization of candidacies in the states and discussing a bill that aims to grant amnesty to individuals involved in the acts that occurred on January 8. “The game began to tape, with many candidacies. A lot of people want to come to the Senate, but there are no vacancies for everyone. I need to talk to Valdemar what the criterion we will adopt. In principle, those who have mandate would be inside, but who is burned will not compete with me being electoral cable, ”he said.
“Amnesty PL for us is a priority. All parties, except for the left are on our side, or very favorable, ”said Bolsonaro. He stressed the importance of establishing criteria for candidacies, stating that those who occupy elective positions are fit, while those who are “burned” should not compete.
Valdemar Costa Neto, in turn, announced that communication between him and Bolsonaro will be daily from now on, after a long period of more than a year without dialogue. This new phase of interaction may be indicative of a more unified strategy within the party. “The pumps all I play in the hands of Bolsonaro. I was with a lot (longing). I already kissed him today, ”said Costa Neto earlier.
Moraes’s decision also had significant implications for Valdemar, who was able to recover property that had been seized by the Federal Police. Returned items include money, luxury watches, iPhones and their passport, which had been retention for 13 months. Valdemar’s defense argued that the absence of complaints by the Attorney General’s Office was a determining factor for the end of the precautionary measures imposed on him.
The STF minister had prohibited contact between the two in February 2024, after the Federal Police (PF) triggered Operation Tempus Veritatis, which served search and seizure warrants in the inquiry into the attempted coup d’état in 2022.
Act in Paulista
The former president said he waited up to one million people on the street that will be held on Paulista Avenue this Sunday (16). According to him, the tonic of his speech will be exclusively on the Amnesty PL, which is treated as a priority in the party. “I won’t charge Hugo Motta. He knows what he has to do. He is a balanced person. I talked to him before the elections. I did not require any requirement. We, as parliamentarians, you looking at the eye know what the other wants. It’s not my priority, it’s from those who have a heart, ”said Bolsonaro.
He landed in Brasilia on the morning of Wednesday after commitment in São Paulo. At the landing, the former president met the secretary of government of São Paulo and PSD president, Gilberto Kassab, and embraced him. According to Bolsonaro, there was no time to deepen any conversation, but reported having already sought the party leader to ask the party to support the Amnesty PL.
Also according to reports from the former president, Kassab declared himself in favor of the proposal. In public statements, the PSD president released parliamentarians to vote as they wish. Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), to chair the House Foreign Relations Commission.
He minimized the PT and government movement to veto it, as well as the discontent of STF ministers because of the deputy’s relations with the Donald Trump government, on the grounds that Eduardo is the right person for the position. “Eduardo is a friend of Trump. Who wanted to be a friend of whom? Of the mature? Is this crisis? It’s a solution, ”he said.
