The house arrest of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) continues to reverberate in the National Congress. One of the targets of the decision of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) defended himself from the accusations that he would have contributed to promoting a video call with Bolsonaro during a demonstration on Paulista Avenue on Sunday (3).
In an ironic tone, the parliamentarian compared the episode to a forced football bid. “I don’t feel responsible. Alexandre de Moraes dug this lack,” the parliamentarian told the newspaper A globethe. “He puts a completely broad precautionary measure. He wanted Bolsonaro’s house arrest.”
The link between Nikolas and the former president was one of the factors mentioned by Moraes to justify the new decision. For the minister, the former president violated the restrictions that prevent him from using social networks and communicating with allies by appearing in the video, even without speaking, as part of a strategy of “institutional coercion” and attempted obstruction of justice. “

Moraes wrote that Nikolas used Bolsonaro’s image symbolically to boost attack messages to the Supreme Court (STF), and also mentioned that Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) deleted a similar publication in which his father appeared during an act in Rio de Janeiro to try to circumvent the prohibitions.
“Take Alexandre de Moraes from the STF”
Nikolas climbed the tone by commenting on the consequences and stated that he does not intend to resort in court. Instead, it defends a political response, with amnesty those investigated for the acts of January 8 and the impeachment of Moraes.
“I will resort to who? What can we legally do against tyranny? [presidente da Câmara] HUGO MOTTA TRADE AND IMPEACHMENT OF MORAES TO DAVI ALCOLUMBRE [presidente do Senado]”He said.

The deputy of Minas Gerais also questioned the accusations of Moraes and said that Bolsonaro’s presence by video has not sufficient legal weight to justify house arrest.
“I literally just called and he saw his supporters. Bolsonaro can’t see people now?” Nikolas reacted.
Moraes’s decision maintains Bolsonaro’s ban approaching embassies or communicating with foreign authorities. It is also prohibited from using social networks or being represented by third parties on the platforms. Moraes also determined the seizure of cell phones and the night’s night collection.
