By 5 votes to 2 in favor of conviction and ineligibility, Bolsonaro will be out of the elections until 2030

Manaus (AM) — After the decision of the Superior Electoral Court (TSE) to make former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) ineligible for eight years, last Friday (30), right-wing politicians in Amazonas commented, this Monday (3 ), about the gap left in the conservative wing in the state.

In a statement to Em Tempo, the former candidate for Senator Coronel Menezes (PL) claimed that the TSE decision was a political issue and that “We have to keep having hope in our country”, “the ideology of the left only produces misery and disgrace”. Menezes believes that the country needs to think about a prosperous future, progress and better management.

When questioned about again running for mayor of Manaus and a possible union of the right for his election, Coronel Menezes stated that the ‘direct union’ is ‘invention of the left’ and that Amazonas has qualified politicians who will receive the former president’s support, thinking about the best for the city of Manaus.

By 5 votes to 2 in favor of conviction and ineligibility, Bolsonaro will be out of the elections until 2030 with a decisive vote given by Minister Cármen Lucia. Throughout the week, leaders of the PL stated that, if the ineligibility materialized, Bolsonaro would become the party’s “greatest electoral force”. On social networks, Valdemar highlighted the role of the former president from now on.

“We are going to work double time and show our loyalty to President Bolsonaro. You can believe that today’s injustice will be able to reveal the strongest voter in the nation. And the result of this will be recorded in the 2024 and 2026 elections. More than ever, Brazil needs strength. It’s time to overcome. Bolsonaro is the greatest popular leader since redemocratization and will continue to be”

he wrote.

Councilman Capitão Carpê Andrade (Republicans) stated that the TSE’s decision was ‘completely disproportionate’, that former President Bolsonaro as well as any citizen should have the right to question and demand more transparency in the electoral process. Carpê including Recently it has been shown that even Lula’s justice minister, Flávio Dino, was in favor of the printed vote and questioned possible fraud. Therefore, he believes that the punishment was something ‘unreasonable’.

“The right has been very successful in occupying seats in politics, especially in parliaments. I believe that for all his history and what he represents for the right, Bolsonaro must continue to be the great leader of these Brazilians. The expectation is that the right can discuss and unite efforts to find a name that can defeat Lula in the next election. Whoever Bolsonaro nominates will certainly have many chances.”

he declared.

Third president to be ineligible

Jair Bolsonaro (PL) is the third president to be ineligible, justifying it as a crime against democracy, the other two were Lula and Fernando Collor de Mello. Current President Lula had the decision revoked in 2021.

Ineligibility leaves Bolsonaro out of the 2024, 2026 and 2028 elections, and can only run in 2030.

In a press conference in Belo Horizonte, on Friday afternoon (30), Bolsonaro declared that his ineligibility, determined by a majority in the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), is “the first conviction for abuse of political power”. He classified the decision as “a stab”comparing the process with the stab wound he suffered in Juiz de Fora, in the Zona da Mata region of Minas Gerais, in September 2018.

In his speech, Bolsonaro reiterated that “was condemned based on a decree that was not concluded” by the Federal Police, and also mentioned that the investigations into the January 8 attacks on the headquarters of the Three Powers, in Brasília, did not reach definitive conclusions either. The former president also pointed out that “the transition (between his and Lula’s government) was made normally”and denied any coup aspirations by his supporters.

“I collected myself, the transition made in absolute normality. No one from the PT can complain about any of my ministers about the transition. On the 30th (of December), I left Brazil and unfortunately the 8th of January happened. Anyone who talks about a coup doesn’t know what a coup is. With all due respect, he is a political illiterate.”

“Nobody is going to strike a blow with little men and women with the Brazilian flag”, he added. The former president declared that there are “300 wrongfully imprisoned” as a result of the protests in Brasilia.
