Allies of () and leaders of right-wing parties classified what shows the former president explaining the burn marks on the electronic ankle bracelet, released this Saturday (22), as demoralizing and electorally very damaging for Bolsonarism.
In a reserved manner, they state that the exploitation of these images in next year’s dispute for the PT is certain, which puts names linked to the former president in a delicate situation and favors those who are more independent.
In the video, made by a server at the Federal District Penitentiary Administration Secretariat, Bolsonaro says he used a “hot iron”, a , to try to open his ankle bracelet. The attempted rape was one of the points mentioned by the minister, of the (Supreme Federal Court), when determining the.
When asked about what had happened, Bolsonaro stated: “I put a hot iron in, I put a hot iron in there… curiosity.”
The senator (PL-RJ), who had been gaining strength as a presidential candidate, left the episode with a damaged image, having called the vigil that was understood by the PF as a possible part of an escape strategy.
Bolsonaro’s former minister, the governor (Republicanos-SP) would also have to explain the conduct of his political godfather in clashes with opponents.
The governor (PSD-PR), in turn, would have an advantage, as he is more distant from the former president and was not part of the Bolsonaro government, even though he is considered an ally of his.
These right-wing leaders also see a strengthening of Alexandre de Moraes, minister of the STF, in his arm wrestling with Bolsonaro. The ankle bracelet episode generated a striking image of infraction on the part of the former president, they assess.
The deadline for presenting appeals in the coup plot trial could lead Moraes to order the former president’s definitive arrest and the beginning of his sentence at the beginning of next week. The deadline for presenting new appeals by the defenses of convicted defendants ends on Monday (24).
Members of the STF state that a determination could be made as early as Tuesday (25), if Moraes maintains the understanding that a second presentation of appeals would only be a delay and would not have the capacity to change the outcome of the trial.
