The former president () canceled all public agendas and. The decision occurs at the time, according to allies, he kept a search to keep political capital with growing pressure to indicate a successor to his electoral estate.
The interruption of agendas was reported on Tuesday (1st) after emergency medical consultation. Bolsonaro, 70, presents constant crises of sobs and vomiting, which even prevent him from speaking, according to the former president.
Claudio Birolini and Leandro Echenique stated that the goal is to “ensure the complete recovery of his health after extensive surgery and prolonged hospitalization, episode of pneumonia and recurring crises of sobs.”
“During this period, he will be removed from his usual activities, including public agendas and party-political activity, returning as soon as he is fully restored.”
This Wednesday (2), a new newsletter reported that the former president was undergoing an endoscopy. The procedure revealed that Bolsonaro suffers from esophagitis.
“The drug treatment, which had been started a few days ago. Following the guidelines for speech moderation, ruled diet and family rest,” the statement says.
The two doctors were in front of Bolsonaro’s abdominal surgery and treatment in April, when the former Mandanker felt bad in an agenda in the interior of Rio Grande do Norte.
The interruption of the agendas occurs after an act on Paulista Avenue, in São Paulo, further compared to the previous ones.
On the eve of the demonstration, Bolsonaro reported malaise and had episodes of vomiting. According to allies, he was already facing difficulty sleeping and complaining of a lot of tiredness.
On Saturday, hosted at Palacio dos Bandeirantes, the headquarters of the São Paulo government, he chose to receive anyone and remained more prisoner until the moment to go to Paulista.
The former president is ineligible due to convictions in the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) and is also a defendant in the case of the coup plot. The expectation between advisors to ministers and lawyers involved in the case is that the trial will take place in September.
In the act, he indicated that he does not intend, for now, to speak of a possible passage of the bat. However, he stated that. “If you give me, at the time next year, 50% of the House and 50% of the Senate, I change the destination of Brazil,” he said.
While the president was speaking, next to him were two governors listed as presidential to 2026: São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), and Minas Gerais, (New). Two other heads of the state executive are also seen as possible names in the dispute for the right and center-right next year :. (PSD-PR) and (-GO).
“If you give me it [maioria de deputados e senadores]it doesn’t matter where I am, here or in the beyond, those who take the lead will send more than the President of the Republic, “Bolsonaro added to Paulista.
The former president’s interlocutors say that in the last two or three weeks, especially after the STF hearing, the pressure has increased to end the staff to someone.
The movement, however, is seen by those who live with Bolsonaro as unlikely at the moment, if not impossible. After all, being able to gather supporters and put themselves as an important political actor is one of the former president’s few trumps against the Supreme today.
In addition, there is a frequent assessment that he needs his political capital to defend himself legally. So even though they want to indicate a successor, your allies know that it is important for your defense to insist on a candidacy.
A Caiado interlocutor says he saw in his former president’s speech a sign that he may be feeling a loss of power, so this reaction.
The governor of Goiás is a pre-candidate for União Brasil and has promised pardon to the former president, as well as the other three governors who are quoted for Bolsonaro’s succession.
The measure was even placed as a prerequisite by Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), the oldest son of the former president, for eventual support for a presidential candidacy next year.
Although almost no one speaks openly to Bolsonaro about the possibility that he is not a candidate, he external irritation with these outdoor movements and lets it reach his allies.
The pressure even comes from business sectors, as well as right and center-right party leaders who talk to allies from the governor of São Paulo, in the crowd so that Tarcisio is nominated for his succession.
An ally from Tarcisio, however, says that this insistence for him to pass the bat at this time is negative to both the governor and the former president. There is a great fear that any sign of it is interpreted as a disloyalty with its political godfather.
The governor of São Paulo publicly denies any electoral claim other than to run for reelection next year.
One of Tarcisio’s allies told the Sheet That Bolsonaro’s desire to rely on most of the National Congress is a utopia. For him, the former president, at most, would have only interference with the PL parliamentarians, something noticed by the Bolsonarist surroundings.
The emptying of the last act makes members of the PL also choose to decrease the amount of manifestations. The assessment is that this may eventually tire the militancy. The next act will take place on September 7, and the organizers expect a much higher audience, even for the symbolic weight the holiday has for pockets.
