Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) said on Sunday, 16, at Copacabana beach that even “arrested or dead” will remain a “problem” for the Supreme Court (STF). In the speech made for supporters in Rio, the former president said he already has enough votes to get the amnesty to the convicts of the scammer acts of 8 January, which can also benefit him.
“I was in the United States [no dia do vandalismo em Brasília]. If I were here, I would be stuck to this day or who knows them killed. I’m going to a problem for them, arrested or dead. But I leave the flame of hope, the liberation of our people, ”said Bolsonaro.
As shown by EstadãoBolsonaro was denounced by the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) as a “leader” of the coup plan to stay in power after the 2022 election defeat.

Bolsonaro also said that the size of the sentence imposed by the Supreme Court on the vandals that were arrested in the Three Powers’ Square was calculated to justify a 28 -year conviction against him.
“What they want is a condemnation. If it is 17 years for humble people, it is to justify 28 years to me. I will not leave Brazil ”
Bolsonaro defended the amnesty project to convicts on January 8 and said that “patriots” fled the country to escape the Supreme Court. He was next to relatives of Cleriston Pereira da Cunha, arrested on the day of scammer acts, but who died in November 2023 at the Papuda Penitentiary in Brasilia.

According to the former president, the opposition to the government of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) already has enough votes to approve the project. As the Estadão showed, the PL leader in the House, Deputy Sostenes Cavalcante (RJ), predicts that the house will discuss the project later this month.
“We already have enough votes to approve in the House. We will be victorious. We will see justice appear. If it is not for that other power that exists for this, by the Legislative Power. Even if Lula vetoes, we will bring down the veto, ”said the former president.
Bolsonaro also cited a conversation he had with PSD president Gilberto Kassab, who, according to the former president, signed support from the party benches in the congress to amnesty. The acronym integrates the Lula administration base and commands three ministries on the Esplanada.

“I even, a few days ago, had an old problem and solved with Kassab in Sao Paulo. He is by our side, with his bench, to approve the amnesty in Brasilia ”
The former president also attacked STF Minister Alexandrde de Moraes who, according to him, had a “heavy hand” against the PL in the 2022 elections.
“There was a heavy hand from Alexandre de Moraes on the occasion of the elections of 2022. For example, I could not show Lula’s image defending abortion, I could not show Lula’s image defending cell phone and saying that this was to have a beer, I could not show images of Lula with dictators around the world,” he said.

Bolsonaro also wondered if he really lost the election in the amount of votes and cited the Supreme’s confidentiality. The investigation motivated its ineligibility until 2030, when it was presented to ambassadors at a meeting in Alvorada.
“Our government did its work. Why did you lose the election? Why did you lose the election? Is the answer in the 1,361 inquiry, secret to this day? ”Asked the retired captain.
In a campaign tone for 2026, Bolsonaro asked his supporters to elevate half of the House and Senate. Declaring that the Supreme Court “will not defeat the pockets,” the former president said that if he controls the legislature, he will “change Brazil’s destinations.”
