Former president’s eldest son (), the senator (PL-RJ) says that to receive the support of the father, the presidential candidate must not only grant pardon to his father, but fight with the Supreme for it, if necessary.
Which can condemn Bolsonaro for the coup plot, Flavio insists on his father’s candidacy in 2026, but already talks more openly about a scenario without him – and about the main credential for a possible successor.
“I’m doing a scenario analysis. Bolsonaro supports someone, this candidate is elected, pardon or compositions with Congress to approve amnesty, in three months this is realized, here comes the Supreme and says: It’s unconstitutional, everyone comes back to jail. Sheet.
Flavio even talks about the use of force, but says he doesn’t know what a president could do if a pardon was overthrown. The senator states that the only “remedy” against more confusion in the country is a broad amnesty, including for the minister.
Not admitted by Bolsonaro constitutes an affront to the outcome of the elections? NO AFROUND. He was looking for, within the legality, what he could do. Especially because it is not a decree that he signs and, on the same day, there are troops on the streets, arrests everyone, like that crazy [que planejaria a morte de autoridades]. If he had signed, they could say, ‘Really, he started a process.’ Now, do you think about it?
Isn’t discussing a scam a crime? It is not discussing blow, this is the point. Within the Constitution, there is a state of siege and state of defense. Who speaks today this is the same who say that Dilma [Rousseff] suffered a blow. It was within the Constitution. It is forcing the bar a lot, and this is what makes people aware of Bolsonaro.
Mr. agree when he says that a? I think he has to be acquitted to start. He thinks they will do something with him in prison. A poisoning, some attack. He has already been the victim of an attempted murder.
Did the debate on amnesty die? No, it’s more alive than ever. For me, amnesty is the honorable way out for everyone. For the Supreme, Alexandre de Moraes and Congress, who is being very humiliated throughout this process for failing to defend institutionally parliamentary.
Would the amnesty be an honorable way out for Bolsonaro? For everyone, he too. A person who wants to coup d’état names? What is the logic? Do not glue. And in this amnesty you have to enter Alexandre de Moraes because, from my point of view, he committed various acts of abuse of authority throughout this process.
If it happens that Bolsonaro is convicted, we do not know what the reaction of the people will be, the international reaction. There are things that are not in our control. I think it’s very bad [ministros do ] Insist on this path because then the confusion will extend much longer. Minister’s impeachment agenda will be one of the main election.
Would a pardon to Bolsonaro be a condition for his support to the right candidate? Far beyond that. That’s why I’m saying that amnesty is the medicine. Because, let’s suppose, this crazyness of condemning Bolsonaro happened. He is ineligible, he will have to support someone. Not only will you want to support someone who banks amnesty or pardon, but is fulfilled. Because we have to do a scenario analysis that, in the event that the president gives a pardon to Bolsonaro, the PT will come with a habeas corpus in the STF. [Vão declarar que] This pardon is unconstitutional. So it will have to be someone in the presidency who has the commitment, I don’t know how it is fulfilled.
But how? It is a very bad hypothesis, because we are talking about possibility and use of strength. We are talking about the possibility of direct interference between the powers. Everything no one wants. And I’m not talking here, for the sake of God, in the tone of threat, I’m doing a scenario analysis. It is real that can happen. Bolsonaro supports someone, this candidate is elected, pardon or composition with Congress to approve the amnesty, in three months this is realized, here comes the Supreme and says: It’s unconstitutional, turns everyone to jail. This is not. Certainly the candidate that President Bolsonaro will support will have to have this commitment, yes.
But what would be the alternative? Let’s assume that this happens. There is no more remedy that exists for you to make an insane person like Alexandre Moraes returns to normal, do not think he owns Brazil, who has the constitution itself.
Obviously, the president, when choosing a candidate, will take into account this. Now, [o candidato] What do you commit to doing? I don’t know. But someone who has some way to make the STF respect the other powers. Getting Alexandre de Moraes not being the owner of the votes of other ministers, as it seems.
What mr. Isn’t asking a candidate who can face the STF? It is a candidate who can rescue democracy. It will depend on the point of view, do you see?
A candidate who is willing to fight for it. I think so, because there is no other way. If you continue in this tune, Brazil will not be in a democracy, because it is a direct interference of one power in the other. The exclusive competence to give a pardon is the president. This precedent, because the president was Bolsonaro. Then theses are invented. It is a scenario analysis that has to be taken into consideration when making decisions now.
Who would have this profile today? No one will assume “I am the candidate who will do this or that.” It is no use to be speculating names. It will have to have a skill to prevent this from happening and at the same time make things go back to normal. Once again: I am willing to be an open channel to think together what to do and insisting that the honorable path is amnesty.
Mr. He says he is a candidate for reelection to; Is this unchanging? The name of mr. It has already emerged as an option for president. Unchanging. I get flattered. I believe the president will be able to register the candidacy because the two ineligibility conditions he has are very fragile.
Waiting for a decision that reveals ineligibility not harm the right? In a polarized presidential election the way it is, it does not make much difference. Let’s assume that Bolsonaro decides that the candidate is so -and -so or so -called – woman too. With all the visibility, regardless of the condition it is, it will be electoral cable. For whom he point out his finger will be elected.
Would the Bolsonaro family support a plate without a Bolsonaro name? Then you have to ask the franchise owner, which is Bolsonaro, right? He is the owner of the brand [risos].
What mr. Defend? May he support me to the Senate.
And Eduardo? Who is a candidate for the Senate.
E Michelle? Who is a candidate for the Senate.
Allies say that a Michelle-Tarcisio de Freitas plate would be unbeatable, or Tarcisio-Michelle. It can be from above, front, back, side. It is an unbeatable plate, just like any other candidate, mouse [Jr.], [Romeu] Low, [Ronaldo] Caiado, all of these will win from Lula.
Bolsonaro charged support publicly. He feels abandoned? There are a lot of people who like to ask for support, but do not want to have the burden of ombrement with him in this battle to make him eligible again. People have to take the conscience exam to deserve the support of Bolsonaro. It is in the difficulty that you know who the friends are and who the real people are.
Is there a lot of opportunistic? It has a lot.
