Witnesses nominated by former GSI chief minister (Institutional Security Office) told the (Supreme Court) that former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) departed from the general from the second half of his term.
The statements were made in the case of the 2022 coup plot. The Court resumed on Monday (26) the instructional hearings of the process started last week.
The observation is part of the defense strategy to distance the general from the alleged negotiations to prevent the possession of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT), intensified.
Captain-of-sea-war Ricardo Ibsen Pennaforte de Campos was Heleno’s chief of staff when he was minister.
“Yes, I noticed that there was [diminuição de reuniões entre Heleno e Bolsonaro]. I can put half my term, I don’t know the moment, but there was less participation of the minister in the presidency’s office than in the first half, “he said.
Amilton Coutinho Ramos, then a special advisor to communication and press at the GSI, in turn, attributed the removal to a party issue.
“There was this decrease and from what I witnessed was the part of the former president’s affiliation to PL. General Heleno took publicly resistance to the majority current in the National Congress, and then he lost space in the president’s room. And that the general understood very well.
The colonel also said that the former minister defended the printed vote, but not within the GSI.
All witnesses reported having worked directly with Heleno, and stated that he ordered transition to the transition normally after the defeat in the elections, which he kept staff from previous governments in the GSI paintings, which never dealt with anything related to the scam draft or politicized the organ.
Also on Monday, the former government health minister (PL) again defended Bolsonaro’s coup content statements.
“It was a meeting where President Bolsonaro made a very assertive speech, calling on the ministers, who should strive within the project, not as ministers, but as citizens. And each one who was part of the government was there because we believed in that government, so that we could, because we could not, like Brazilian citizens, allow the return of that group that returned to the government,” said Queiroga.
At the beginning of the meeting, Bolsonaro ordered his assistants to repeat, without proof, about electronic ballot boxes, said he was going to put his army on the street and that justice was preparing the victory of “fraud”.
“This was a speech of a very assertive and very affirmative political leadership, as President Jair Bolsonaro, within the standard of what he did the value judgment on other occasions and even publicly,” said the former minister.
