The governor of Goiás, Ronaldo Caiado (PSD), pre-candidate for president of the Republic, stated this Sunday, March 1st, during the “Wake up, Brazil” rally, held by the right on Avenida Paulista, in São Paulo, that “no one in the history of Brazil, without a mandate, in prison, can mobilize the Brazilian population like Bolsonaro can in this country”. In his speech, Caiado praised the mobilization capacity of former President of the Republic Jair Bolsonaro (PL), currently imprisoned for an attempted coup, and classified him as “the man who managed to lift Brazil up and say loudly and clearly: let’s walk for freedom and full democracy”.
Caiado also welcomed federal deputy Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG), to whom he attributed the call for the movement, and senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ), pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic.
He also stated that, if the political group returns to power, “the first act will be full, general and unrestricted amnesty on January 1st”.
‘Untouchables spree’
Also present at the event in Paulista, the governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema (Novo), pre-candidate for president of the Republic, stated that the country “can no longer handle the party of the untouchables” and that there are authorities who “consider themselves above all laws”.
In a speech on the sound car, Zema said that “no one in Brazil is untouchable” and that the population is “outraged” by recent events. “We will not bend. We will not allow these absurdities that are happening to continue”, he declared.
The governor of MG also stated that he will return to Paulista “as many times as necessary”, in reference to the mobilization of opposition to the federal government and ministers of the Federal Supreme Court (STF).
