The former first lady spoke to tears on Paulista Avenue on Sunday afternoon and said former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), her husband, will not give up.
“I never thought it would be so hard to be here with you,” he said. “But I believe and I’m sure we will go through this and the justice of the Lord will reign over our nation.”
She participates in a demonstration in defense of the former president, the impeachment of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Court (STF), and for the amnesty to the prisoners in the scammer acts of January 8.
In a speech full of religious citations, Michelle complained about the precautionary measures imposed by the Supreme to Bolsonaro, specifically citing the constant surveillance and police magazines in the condominium in which he lives with her husband in Brasilia.
“It’s a lot of humiliation that we are living,” he said. “But it’s part. Humiliation is part of the process. We’re going to get stronger. We won’t give up.”
Michelle says he takes care of Bolsonaro, unfolding himself as “mother, wife and president of the PL woman”, and has confidence that they will come out victorious. “If we have this army of good men and women on the streets, defending true democracy, it is because God raised this nation.”
The former first lady’s speech occurs during the articulations for the definition that the name of the right will compete in the 2026 elections against President Lula (PT)-and at a time when the Paulista Governor (Republicans) gains strength as the main choice.
How it showed the SheetTarcísio has been talking under reserve with politicians about the profile of the plate, the party and even possible vice names. Michelle is among the prices.
Earlier, organizers of the Bolsonarist demonstrations in Brasilia and Rio de Janeiro reproduced audio recordings sent by former first lady.
“Moved by revenge, perverse authorities arrested innocents, children were taken to a detention field set up in the Federal Police. Older people were arrested because of January 8, they are being beaten in jail,” she says in the recording.
Michelle also said that the country is experiencing a dictatorship that includes political persecution.
“Ministers, you have promised to comply with the laws and defend our constitution. It is being torn daily, injustices are committed by a few of your means that judges say, but act like tyrants.”
Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), Michelle’s husband, is ineligible until 2030 due to convictions in the (Superior Electoral Court) for abuse of political and economic power and misuse of the media.
Therefore, the priority is to bet on someone with the benefit of the former president. Members of the right assess that a plate with Tarcisio and Michelle would be unbeatable because she was a woman, evangelical, charismatic and having the surname Bolsonaro.
Behind the scenes, another hypothesis considered is Michelle to dispute the presidency as a head of the plate, representing her husband. In this scenario, Tarcisio would compete for reelection to the government of São Paulo.
The presence of the former first lady was doubtful until the middle of the day before. In August, and was criticized by her husband’s allies.
Bolsonaro has met house arrest since that August, when he appeared on video and said in a message released on a broadcast list: “Thanks to all,” “for our freedom.”
The former president is tried in the Federal Supreme Court on charges of plotting a coup after the 2022 elections. Last week, the process report and the oral support of the prosecution and the defenses were read.
From this Tuesday (2),. If convicted of the crimes attributed to him, Bolsonaro can take more than 43 years in prison.
At the same time, the former president’s allies, led by Tarcisio, articulate the approval of an amnesty proposal that encompasses those convicted of the acts of 8 January, but also benefits Bolsonaro.
Most Brazilians by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, from the STF. According to a survey by the Datafolha Institute, 55% fully agree or partly with the application of the electronic anklet and the ban on leaving home at night.
The amnesty to those convicted of the coup protests of January 8, 2023 is also, according to the institute. There are 55% opposed, against 35% favorable. The surveys were conducted on July 29 and 30, therefore before the decree of house arrest.
