Former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) said he intends to return to Brazil “in the coming weeks”. The statement was made last Friday (3) in an interview with the Charlie Kirk podcast. Bolsonaro also said that he will make “responsible opposition” against the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT).

“I intend to return in the coming weeks [ao Brasil] and make a responsible opposition against the current government”, said the politician in an excerpt from the interview posted on social networks. Also on Friday, the former president participated in an event promoted by Kirk in the United States, where he has been since December 30.

“I have to stay in politics. Is that [a atividade] in which I discovered myself, a little late perhaps. But due to the absence of right-wing leaders in Brazil, I feel obliged to coordinate these new leaders that have emerged so that Brazil does not plunge into socialism or communism,” he added.
