He gave him on Tuesday (10) testimony to the coup plot. He denied trying to take a coup, but admitted to arguing with heads from the Armed Forces which he called “alternatives” – from the Constitution, he said.
It was the first time that Bolsonaro was facing the minister to be interrogated as a defendant. It was two hours and seven minutes of testimony, in which the former president answered questions made by Moraes, Minister Luiz Fux, Attorney General Paulo Gonet and lawyers.
Here’s a prominent phrases from Bolsonaro’s testimony.
Historic boo
Bolsonaro was not present in possession of, because, according to him, would take the largest boo in history of Brazil. Losing the elections, he stated that he and his allies had to “entail the result” and that they had nothing to do but accept.
As General Freire Gomes said [comandante do Exército na época]perhaps it was at this meeting, we studied other possibilities within the Constitution, that is, never leaving the four lines
Government
In denying the attempted coup d’état, Bolsonaro stated that in a few meetings he abandoned the momentum of trying unconstitutional action. It was therefore, according to him, that his government met the “sunset”.
In a few meetings, we abandon any possibility of one of a constitutional action. We abandoned and faced the sunset of our government.
Crazy
He called him “crazy” supporters who set up scammer camps in front of military units after the 2022 elections and who asked for intervention by the Armed Forces to prevent Lula’s inauguration in the presidency of the Republic.
Now, there are always crazy people there that get that idea, AI-5, military intervention, that the Armed Forces, the military chiefs would never embark on this, because the people were asking there, because it did not fit this and we played the boat.
Children’s Hope
Bolsonaro stated that he raised more money than the campaigns of Child Hope. According to the former president, the financial donations of his supporters, made via Pix, were fundamental to be able to afford the expenses of his defense.
If it wasn’t for Pix’s campaign, which I didn’t do, I don’t know how I would survive today. R $ 17 million, then had a dripping, reached R $ 18 million. And we spend [olha sorrindo para seus advogados, que riem de volta]. You can’t work for free. […] I couldn’t help my son in the United States as well. I raised more money than Child Hope, including. Sign that people like us.
In the four lines
Although he denied a coup plan, Bolsonaro admitted that he studied alternative possibilities after the elections. Even so, he stated that all “possibilities”.
As General Freire Gomes said [comandante do Exército na época]perhaps it was at this meeting, we studied other possibilities within the Constitution, that is, never leaving the four lines
Moraes vice?
Despite being declared ineligible by the court, the former president still considers himself the right candidate for 2026. In his statement, he made a joke with Minister Alexandre de Moraes, inviting him to be his deputy. Moraes refused.
Could you make a joke? I would like to invite you [Alexandre de Moraes] To be my deputy in 2026.
Demobilizing the issue
During the statement, Bolsonaro stressed that he made a video to demobilize the truckers, who protested against the result of the 2022 elections.
If I wanted to rise Brazil it was just turning my back. We had almost a thousand stoppage points for Brazil. And I didn’t omit. I went, made the video, would like to pass it here, it is not possible, precisely to demobilize this issue and we were successful.
Poor poor
In addition to crazy, Bolsonaro called. “The former president denied that these people participated in undemocratic acts.” After the riot, “Bolsonaro said, they broke into the thirst of the three powers and soon left.
I get goose bumps when it is said that January 8 was a blow. Those 1,500 people, poor poor people … One hundred buses, right? They arrived in the urban military sector region at dawn on Sunday and the staff left shortly after the banda and left for those who were camped here. Who really did it left.
Empty
Bolsonaro reflected on the political moment after the defeat in the 2022 elections. The former president stated that many people looking for him during the term of office. The former president said he faced a feeling of emptiness.
Minister, when the Lord loses an election, minister, is a void that the Lord does not imagine. We know friends exactly right now, right? Few people are looking for you, guys want distance and I enjoyed or talked to many not to bother them. So this emptiness was often filled here with the friendly conversation between me and some general officers of the Armed Forces.
Passionate
Bolsonaro jokingly said he was in love with. The statement was given when Moraes asked the former president about the call he gave to his then minister of the GSI (Institutional Security Office), calling him to an emergency meeting. Heleno participated in the graduation of his grandson at ITA (Aeronautics Technology Institute).
Minister, I’m in love with General Heleno, I confess. Sometimes I was also at events and made an excuse. Look, my mother -in -law is calling me, I’ll have to leave now, okay? I don’t remember calling General Heleno.
