Senator (-RJ) said on Sunday (7) that the judgment of NA (Supreme Court) is a scam and represents a “second stab” in the former president.
The statement was made during the, in defense of amnesty to convicted of the scammers of January 8, 2023. The protest also happens amid the judgment of the former president in the STF.
In his speech, Flávio Bolsonaro attacked the minister, rapporteur of actions against Bolsonaro and his allies in the Supreme Court, calling him dictator.
“I am impressed how he has a trace of psychopathy. A person who doesn’t care about his own family, as he doesn’t seem to call, can’t be normal. Who wants to keep playing a cowardly competition with Bolsonaro,” he said.
Following, the senator showed confidence that the minister will be punished: “The Supreme himself will give Moraes head on the tray because he went too far, because everyone knows that there was no attempt to blow. We will continue to use the internet, using the truth by our side,” he said.
Wearing a T -shirt with his father’s face and the year 2026, the senator mourned his absence in Bolsonaro’s protest, which has been serving house arrest in Brasilia since early August after Moraes’s determination. And he demanded that the former president can run for the next election for the presidency-he is ineligible until 2030 after being convicted by the Electoral Court for abuse of political and economic power.
“My father once again cannot be present, but I bring him here on this shirt with the year 2026, which is what we demand. It is the right of the Brazilian people to choose who wants to be president of Brazil,” said the senator.
Flávio said that the images of the demonstration will reach the former president, who is prevented from public speaking by court decision. “Yesterday [sábado] It was seven years since my father was stabbed. (…) What Alexandre de Moraes is doing today with my father is a second stab. Everyone knows what will happen this week in the Supreme. Because that is a farce, a theater, “he said.
The senator also stated that a possible conviction should take supporters back to the streets. And he argued that the amnesty project under discussion in Congress includes the former president.
“We will not admit an amnesty that also does not meet President Bolsonaro. Amnesty is not about people, it is about facts. The farce is so widespread that everyone is accused of committing the same acts at the same time and in the same proportion,” he said.
