The former president () resumed the incisive tone and has increased his public exposure in recent months. The movement was becoming clearer in the face of the trial of the coup plot in the Supreme Court, in which it became a defendant on Wednesday (26).
On the same day, he made a 50 -minute statement and late in the afternoon spoke to journalists for about 45 minutes in the Senate.
The goal, according to bolsonarist allies and parliamentarians, is a course correction in the strategy in the face of probable criminal conviction: activating militancy, lying the campaign against trial and trying to defend itself.
There is a hurry in the strategy, since the expectation is to be convicted later this year. Thus, he seeks to create a significant popular movement in his favor, expecting a new fact that can change the course of trial – the approval of amnesty in Congress or a sanction of the Brazilian judiciary.
The assessment professed by the Bolsonarists is that the former president suffers a persecution of the judiciary and that the process is political, not criminal. The first class made him a defendant along with seven other names on charges of joining the central core of the coup plot, which in 2022 sought to prevent (PT) from assuming the Presidency of the Republic.
The Supreme’s decision paves the way to judge the merits of the complaint against Bolsonaro by the end of the year, in an effort to speed up the process and.
To activate militancy, allies understand that it is best to let Bolsonaro speak, even without script. He was only oriented not to curse or speak profanity in his criticism – after the past, he even called Moraes scoundrel.
In the latest lines, the former president used a more explosive tone and resumed topics such as the offensive against the electoral system. “I am not obliged to believe, trust a programmer. I trust the machine,” he said on Wednesday.
“[O STF] Want to put 30 [anos de cadeia] in me. If I was owed anything I wouldn’t be here. I went to the United States, thank God, that if I were here on January 8, I would be stuck to this day. Or dead, which is the dream I know of some there. Because arrested I’m going to work. “
On another front, amnesty to the prisoners of January 8 is its main flag at this time. Even pockets celebrated the act called from the left to ask Bolsonaro’s arrest in Sao Paulo because they want to compare photographs and demonstrate political strength.
The left summoned an act on Paulista Avenue for next Sunday (30). The former president will be the following Sunday, the 6th, with the presence of parliamentarians and governors, on the same avenue.
“Let’s run the whole of Brazil and make a manifestation for the amnesty. He goes to Rio Grande do Norte, he goes to Santa Catarina, he goes to Paraná, he goes to Sao Paulo. He will play his normal life. Next year is an important election. It has to strengthen the leaders of our parties, the allies,” said Senator Jorge Seif (PL-SC).
“Our mass is engaged. The people are on our side. They know what a blow to no one sticks there,” he added.
On trips, Bolsonaro will intensify the campaign against his conviction, repeating the arguments set out for his defense in the Supreme Court so that he was not declared a defendant. One of the points will be the criticism of the allegation of the former order of orders.
In intensifying militancy mode, the former president tries to use the pressure of the streets to Congress, so that parliamentarians approve an amnesty-the text that is under discussion today is broad and even benefits the former president.
On another front, his allies also expect the president of the United States to impose some type of sanction or restriction on STF ministers, especially Moraes, and that this may alter the correlation of forces in some way. It is not yet clear how this could happen.
“You can even get a minister to ask for a view. You may have some position of international institutions about what is happening,” said the opposition leader in the House, Deputy Zucco (PL-RS).
In the first class, where Bolsonaro trial takes place, only the minister exposed Moraes positions in the January 8 attacks and the coup plot.
On the second day of trial, which he saw on television with allies in the office of Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) in the Senate, Bolsonaro said he was positively surprised by the position of the STF minister.
The speeches of the magistrate have become video cuts for social networking social networks, but allies of the former president still have doubts about how he will position himself about the merit of the accusations.
