Jean Wyllys returns to Brazil after 4 years – 7/1/2023 – Politics

Jean Wyllys returned to Brazil four years after leaving the country and giving up his third term as a federal deputy amid threats to his physical integrity.

The first lady, Janja Lula da Silva, welcomed the return of the former PSOL parliamentarian. “Nothing like the feeling of coming home. Welcome back”, he wrote to him on the social network.

Wyllys, who after leaving Brazil went to Barcelona for a doctorate, posted a message in Spanish with a photo of himself in front of the Palácio do Planalto colored by the colors of the rainbow, due to the celebration of the International LGBT Pride Day, on the 28th.

“Living colors: my Brazil is not only green and yellow!”, he wrote.

His decision to leave Brazil in 2019, in the first month of the Jair Bolsonaro government, was reported by Sheet.

Elected with 24,295 votes, he claimed to have taken the decision to leave public life due to the intensification of death threats, especially after the murder of then councilor Marielle Franco, also from PSOL.

Since her death, he had been living under guard.

According to him, the links between the Bolsonaro family and the militia also weighed in his decision to leave. “The president who has always slandered me, who has always openly insulted me, who has always used homophobia against me. That environment is not safe for me,” he added.

On the day of the announcement that he would leave the country, Bolsonaro, after saying he was returning from Davos, Switzerland, to Brazil, posted the message “Big day!” on the social network.

Many netizens, at the time, interpreted the message as a reference to Wyllys, but the then president later denied this, writing that he was referring to the mission completed in Davos, his return to Brazil and the confidence in the country indicated by the results of the Stock Exchange.

On Friday (30), upon landing in Brazil, Wyllys reposted the welcome video published by Janja and used the same expression as the former president, who had just been declared ineligible.

“Great day! (I have just set foot in Brazil, in SP! There is heart for so much emotion with this cosmic justice!)”, published the former BBB and former PSOL parliamentarian.
