Waiting for the former Mandanician’s speech, the group focuses on a stretch of Avenida Atlântica, which borders the beach. Bolsonaro even talked about 1 million people at the time, but allies considered the exaggerated number and did not detail the expectation of the public.

Forgiveness to the condemned of the acts of January 8 has as its ultimate objective to create political climate to reverse, in the future, the ineligibility of Bolsonaro himself.
