When questioned, the senator criticized Lula in English and stated that it was up to the United States to inform whether the meeting would take place.
O senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ)pre-candidate for President, denied this Thursday (21) having requested a meeting to the President of the United States, Donald Trump. According to Flávio’s allies, the senator was invited to a meeting with the North American that could be held next week.
Asked if he or his brother Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) requested the conversation, Flávio responded in English: “No, I didnt ask anything. Nobody asked”. The phrase, said to journalists in Congress, can be translated as: “No, I didn’t ask for anything. Nobody asked.” Eduardo Bolsonaro has lived in the United States since last year.
When he continued to be questioned about the topic, Flávio continued speaking in English: “I’m speaking like this because Lula cannot understand what I’m talking about”. Translated, it would be: “I’m talking like this, because Lula can’t understand what I’m saying”.
The senator also said that It is up to the United States to inform whether the meeting will take place: “You have to ask the White House.”
Asked what the next steps of his campaign will be, Flávio replied: “One day at a time”. Last week, it was announced Daniel Vorcaro.
The leader of the opposition in the Chamber, Cabo Gilberto (PL-PB), denied that the PL is considering changing Flávio’s name in the dispute by the Presidency: “It’s speculation”.
