Where was Michelle’s head? At her request, her husband’s lawyers included makeup artist Agustin Fernandez on the guest list for the 15th birthday party of Laura, Michelle’s daughter with Bolsonaro. She wanted Fernandes to sleep from today until tomorrow at her house, in Brasília.
The lawyers sent the list to Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the Supreme Court, asking for authorization for the party and Fernandez’s overnight stay at the house. Overnight stays were not permitted. It is already unusual for a prisoner to host a birthday party. Let alone offering overnight stays to guests.
Fernandez, a Uruguayan by birth, and the dolled-up Michelle are inseparable like flesh and blood. Fernandez arrived in Brazil in 2011. He first settled in Florianópolis and then went to live in São Paulo. The two met when Michelle was first lady and Fernandez celebrated her 30th birthday.
On a Brazilian Air Force plane, requested by Damares Alves, then Minister of Women, Family and Human Rights, Michelle and her 16 companions boarded for Fernandez’s cool party. The next day, Fernandez hitched a ride on the plane and flew to Brasília. By law it couldn’t, but the law was ignored.
Since that time, he has stuck to Michelle and Michelle has stuck to him. Takes care of Michelle’s makeup, Michelle’s hair and the clothes she wears. It gives insights into other aspects of Michelle’s life. And he particularly appreciates Michelle’s emergence into politics, something that doesn’t please Bolsonaro at all.
Michelle has been very verbal since her husband lost his voice and started having intermittent hiccups. He does not disguise his sudden love for politics nor his plan to run for public office. Or the president of the Republic, or the vice president or the senator. Travels around the country and targets mainly evangelical women.
But, little by little, he also begins to speak to the world. In an interview with AFP, a French news agency, he repeated that Bolsonaro was the target of “a judicial farce”. He blamed “our governments” who “violate human rights and democratic principles” for the sanctions applied to Brazil by Trump.
Regarding his future, he declared with a certain pomp:
“Any decision I make regarding possible candidacies will go through an in-depth debate with my husband, my daughters, the PL and, in particular, will be the result of a lot of prayer so that I have discernment regarding the mission that God, eventually, wants to entrust me with.”
Fernandez absolutely LOVED what Michelle said.
