The former president’s reaction plans and their allies against the precautionary measures imposed by the (Federal Supreme Court), such as the use of electronic anklet and restriction on the dissemination of interviews, bump into the threat of the magistrate’s arrest and also in the resistance of the mayor, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB), to allow activities during parliamentary recess.
The strategy now is damage containment. His defense expressed on Tuesday (22) to the Supreme that he did not break the precautionary measures by giving interviews and statements, as made in the House the day before, and has no way to control social networks of third parties.
The defense promises that Bolsonaro will not manifest until it is clarified exactly what it may or may not do regarding interviews.
Allies report, on the other hand, that the former president contacted party leaders throughout Tuesday to seek help from a solution presented by his son Deputy (PL-SP) to about products in Brazil-when he linked the announcement to an alleged persecution of the former president.
On Monday (21), Moraes banned the transmission or broadcast of Bolsonaro interview videos or audios on social networks. The former president took a reprimand and threat of arrest after talking about improvisation at the exit of the House, in a scene where he displayed his anklet and was republished by the press, by supporters and critics on social networks.
Its surroundings want to shield it from possible more serious consequences, such as prison, but admits that Bolsonaro is unpredictable. Therefore, the idea is to reduce his exposure right now.
Bolsonaro’s defense was in this line, in a manifestation to the Supreme Court this Tuesday. “In the sign of absolute respect for the decision of the Supreme Court, the embargo will not make any manifestation until there is the clarification pointed out in the present embargoes.”
But Bolsonaro did not interrupt his activities behind the scenes and spent Tuesday at PL headquarters in central Brasilia. One concern is to reduce wear because of impacts on the Brazilian economy from Trump’s announcement.
The precautionary measures against Bolsonaro were taken under the open inquiry against Eduardo to investigate his actions in the US that would aim to coerce the judiciary in the process of the coup plot in which the former president is defendant.
Eduardo was willing to take the presidents of the House, and, (Brazil-AP), to talk to authorities. This is the former president’s first movement to solve the imbroglio
In conversations, Bolsonaro would have said he does not want to see the country sink and asks for help to resolve the situation.
Initially, the former Mandanitor intended to participate on Tuesday of commissions led by his party, whose meetings were called to approve motions of support to him.
But by determination of the lawyers, he gave up, especially after the threat of arrest for breach of precautionary measure when going to the house the day before.
The initiative to resume legislative work to pressure the Supreme Court did not avenge. The mayor tried to dissuade the opposition of trying to hold the meetings the day before, without success, and published an act banning meetings until August 1.
Its justification is that there would be no respect for the plurality of the house, since other parliamentarians are not in Brasilia. And that they can do acts in defense of Bolsonaro on the return of work in two weeks.
According to allies, Motta bothered with the initiative of the opposition and said that it would not be hit by them.
Parliamentarians from center parties, who were already away from the opposition with Trump’s surcharge, had the assessment that the pockets are isolating themselves in the house.
They saw acts as radicalized movements that repelled allies. The initiative to force the return of the work was interpreted in this way.
A center party leader said that in return to work, they will further decrease the chances of bringing forward projects of interest to the PL.
Without the stage to hold the commissions and honors to the former president, the deputies told the press that the legislature was canceled-for them. In practice, most return to their cities, where they will seek to organize mainly pro-Bolsonaro acts.
Deputies also chose not to stretch the rope anymore. “Our legislative priority is to guide the amnesty. How will we guide the amnesty without a decision of the president? Do you understand that it cannot be absolutely opposite. We can not disrespect the decision of the president and then insist that the amnesty is based,” said Paulo Bilynskyj (PL-SP), chairman of the Public Security Commission.
There was a crack among the pockets and some argued that the deputy and insurgent against Motta’s decision, which did not happen.
In addition, during the press conference to mark that there would be no meeting, Deputy Delegate Skull (PL-PA) even displayed a Donald Trump flag, but colleagues asked him to remove the item.
Amnesty to the convicts in the January 8 attacks remains the priority of the PL in the house. Beside her, the pockets began to defend the PEC (proposal for amendment to the Constitution) that ends the special forum. The measure, they said reserved, would bring more “comfort” for the deputies to vote for the Amnesty proposal without fear of retaliation of the court.
The Legislative Front is one of the three announced by the PL, in response to Moraes’s measures. They also met to deal with communication and street mobilizations. According to the PL leader, (RJ), the work plans will be presented on Wednesday (23).
