BRASILIA (Brazil).- The former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has ruled out this Thursday that his wife, Michelle, as it had been rumored, is going to be a presidential candidate for the 2026 elections. “She has no experience (…) – she is out of all that, she does not want it. We have a 12-year-old daughter.
The former president arrived in Brazil this Thursday following 89 days in the United States on a commercial flight that landed in at Brasilia International Airport around 6:30 a.m. local time.
Greeted by the cry of “the captain has returned”, Bolsonaro has gone to the headquarters of the Liberal Party (PL) following rushing out of the airport, where he landed early this Thursday morning, where he has met with congressmen and training leaders.
Bolsonaro has influenced his wife’s lack of experience, although he has emphasized that “now she wants to collaborate”, as well as the “exceptional work” that he has been doing over the years with “disabled people”, as seen in the videos of the act to which the newspaper has had access The globe.
“I had difficulties being president, even following years of Congress,” he said at the ceremony behind closed doors at the party headquarters. “I am not going to ban her, we will talk regarding her, but she does not have that interest. With all due respect to Mrs. Michelle Bolsonaro, she has no political experience, ”she has settled, avoiding answering whether she might be a good president.
The possibility of Michelle’s candidacy for the 2026 presidential elections has sounded loud in recent weeks, following the wear and tear of a Bolsonaro, who runs the risk of being disqualified due to the various lawsuits that he has open in the Superior Electoral Tribunal (TSE). and because it is not ruled out that he might be investigated for the Saudi jewelery scandal or the attacks on January 8.
Bolsonaro also wanted to thank the PL deputies and senators present at the event for their work in Congress, which is hindering everything that the new Government of Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva wants to do to Brazil.
“Parliament makes us proud for the measures, for the way of acting in there, doing what has to be done and showing those that for now, and while power lasts a short time, they are not going to do what they want with the destiny of our nation”, the former president celebrated.
“We have the ball in our court. I am sure that they will take the country to a safe harbor”, confided Bolsonaro, whose party is the first force in the Chamber of Deputies, with 99 seats, and the second in the Senate, with twelve.
He has also taken the opportunity to slip that the Lula government would be sending him a “message” by having deprived him of the two armored cars to which he had the right until Monday, although he later acknowledged that “it is not clear” if it was obligation of the Planalto Palace to maintain them.
“Until Monday, I had the right to two armored cars, following the announcement of my arrival, Casa Civil withdrew them from me,” Bolsonaro protested, who has already said that he will go to the authorities to request them once more because he feels “concerned” regarding the rise of criminal groups.
“I do not have a chest of action, it is not a rational attitude of this Government. I never persecuted any former president during my tenure. Everything that was asked of us was granted, even something else. On the way back they announce to me, ‘look, you don’t have any more armored car’. They are giving me a message, I can only understand that ”, he said.
From his time in the United States, Bolsonaro has highlighted the fact that he has been residing these three months in a republican state, Florida, where everything he yearns for Brazil is found.
“It is a dream to follow that state in many good things that they have there, the vast majority of the actions are beneficial. This is the Brazilian State that worked, everything there is what we want to implement here as well”, he said.
“There is everything we want to apply here too, freedom of expression, private property, the issue of crime, the legitimate right to defense and what is most important, freedom to work, express oneself, not the State that it swells to make itself grow”, he recounted.
