These dates are outside the prison unit’s regular visiting calendar, held on Wednesdays and Saturdays. Here is the full text (– 1.04 mB).

Beattie is a senior advisor for Brazil policy at the United States Department of State. According to Bolsonaro, The American has an extremely short diplomatic schedule, which makes it impossible for him to stay in Brasília until the date defined by Moraes. Bolsonaro already proposed March 16 or March 17 in the initial visit request.
“This is a high-ranking official from the United States Department of State, whose international commitments are structured in advance and subject to a rigid diplomatic schedule, especially on short-term international trips. Under these circumstances, there is no concrete possibility of extending his stay in Brasília to adapt to the set date”, states Bolsonaro’s new request to change the visit date.
The American advisor was recently appointed to the position in the government of Donald Trump (Republican Party). Beattie has criticized Alexandre de Moraes on previous occasions. He called the minister, for example, “heart of persecution” to Bolsonaro.
He arrives in Brazil next week for commitments in São Paulo and Brasília. The objective of the trip is to understand how the Brazilian electoral system works.
