Michelle tells the British newspaper that the conviction of her husband was ‘Judicial Farce’

In his first interview since the conviction of former President Jair Bolsonaro, former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro told the British newspaper The Telegraph that the lawsuit against the former president was a “judicial farce” and admitted the possibility of being a candidate in 2026.

Michelle is quoted to run a place in the Senate by the Federal District, but there is a PL wing that defends her name as her husband’s successor in the dispute for the Planalto Palace.

“I’m going to get up like a lioness to defend our conservative values, the truth and justice.” If, to fulfill God’s will, it is necessary to assume a political candidacy, I will be ready to do what He asks me, ”he said.

The former first lady adopted a tone of confrontation and positioned themselves as a potential political heir to her husband, sentenced to 27 years in prison for coup attempt and four other crimes related to undemocratic acts. According to her, the decision of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) was based on “accusations manufactured” with the objective of blocking the advance of the right in the country.

– The trial of Jair and other innocent people was a judicial scam. The accusations were an attempt to hide serious violations ongoing in Brazil, but they eventually explained them, ”he said.

Michelle also made harsh criticism of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, rapporteur of the case in the Supreme Court, to whom he accumulated incompatible roles in the process.

The interview was published at a time of uncertainty about the right-hand lead after the former president’s arrest. Michelle has popularity between evangelicals and conservatives, but other leaders position themselves, such as the governor of São Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), who has the support of Centrão.

While waved a candidacy, Michelle emphasized that her priority is to take care of her husband, who recently underwent surgery to remove skin lesions.

“My total attention is focused on taking care of my daughters and my husband at this delicate moment, so that this persecution and humiliation does not destroy my family or so many other unjustly persecuted,” he said.
