The governor (Republicans) stated that (), his political godfather, is absurd and that “no one can prove” the charges that weigh against the former president.
“The arrest of Jair Bolsonaro is absurd. The truth is that Bolsonaro was tried and convicted much before all of this begins. An attempt at a blow that did not happen, a crime that did not exist and accusations that no one can prove,” the governor of social networks said on Monday (4).
Although he did not mention the (Supreme Court) or the minister, who determined Bolsonaro’s house arrest on Monday, Tarcisio criticized the decision and indicated that it would be undemocratic.
“Is it worth ending democracy under the pretext of saving it? Is it not clear that we are advancing on individual guarantees? It has been time for institutions to take initiatives to unleash the crisis, ending a dispute that results in zero sum, which shows inability to resolve and mediate conflicts, which generates no other effect but the loss of confidence,” he wrote.
“Today, each of the good Brazilians who believe in freedom, democracy and justice is being punished too. But know, they will not silence the movement. Force, President. We are with you,” he added.
Moraes justified the determination of this second alleging imposts on July 18, when the former president was forced to put an electronic anklet and forbidden to wear social networks.
On Sunday (3), during an amnesty acts to the defendants of the coup plot, Bolsonaro was present through videos shown by supporters or video calls. The ban also applied to the use of networks through other people.
Quoted as presidential to the 2026 elections, although publicly denied the desire to leave a candidate in any scenario other than reelection in Sao Paulo, Tarcisio is seen by center-right allies as Bolsonaro’s political heir, which is ineligible.
However, the governor was criticized by the former president’s allies for being absent from the act on Paulista Avenue this Sunday. At the same time as the demonstration occurred, the governor performed a medical procedure to treat a lump in the thyroid. He was discharged the same day.
