The senator (PL-RJ) stated that he was asked to insist on the presidents of the Chamber, (-PB), and the Senate, (-AP), to guide the project, which could benefit the former president.
“It was a direct request from him (Bolsonaro) to Hugo Motta and “, he said.
He also stated that his father had a hiccup on Monday night (24) and needed help from agents.
The statement was made by the parliamentarian this Tuesday (25) upon leaving his visit to his father, who is imprisoned at the Federal Police Superintendency in Brasília.
The preventive detention was ordered on Saturday (22) following a decision by Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of the STF (Supreme Federal Court), who stated that there was a risk of Bolsonaro escaping. Video shows that the former president tried to open the ankle bracelet with a soldering iron.
Flávio said that his father is indignant and unhappy with what he calls persecution.
“He says ‘what did I do to be here, my government made a smooth transition’. He was defending himself as always, that obviously he didn’t work so that he could motivate any irresponsible act. He is there all the time repeating this, defending himself”, he declared.
The senator also expressed concern about the statement that someone had prohibited the family from bringing food to the former president, which, according to the senator, is made based on medical prescription.
“He needs to have a special diet because of the intestinal flow and the after-effects of his surgery. It seemed very strange to me that someone had made this decision to go against the medication that is prescribed to avoid complications, he needs to be disciplined with this diet”, he said.
Flávio added that his father was always concerned about the origin of the food.
“He has always said this in public, about the concern that they could do something to him here. He is not suspicious of federal police officers, nothing like that, but he doesn’t know the origin of the food until it arrives at his table. What route it takes, in the hands of whoever passes by”, he stated.
The parliamentarian said that such a prohibition order had not yet started to be implemented and asked the press to confirm the information.
“If this is true, it was a regrettable act, yet another inhumane act of complete irresponsibility regarding his health,” he said.
Flávio and Carlos Bolsonaro, also the former president’s son, arrived to visit him around 9:30 am.
The senator was carrying the book “Metanoia, the key is in your mind”, “by JB Carvalho, which is described by publishers as a text that proposes a revolution in thought. Carlos was wearing a t-shirt with a ninja turtle design on it.
The government must launch a new offensive in Congress to unlock the processing of the amnesty bill.
