According to the senator, the president’s trip to the US is an opportunity to undo fake news about a coup exported to the world
the senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) said in an interview with Young pan, on Thursday night (June 9, 2022), that the president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) “is at all times making gestures of respect to the institutions“, but is “ran over” with decisions that invade the sphere of the Executive.
“There is no war against the Supreme, there is no declared war against the institutions. The problem is a few people who insist, who call themselves saviors of the homeland and who have the power to decide what is best for the country, and not the president of the Republic elected with almost 60 million votes., said Flavio. “The president is always making gestures of respect for institutions, respect for democracy, respect for freedom. And he is also constantly being run over, surprised by a decision that invades the Executive’s sphere.”
The comment was in reference to the removal of the mandate of the state deputy Fernando Francischini (Brazil-PR Union).
On Tuesday (June 7), the 2nd Panel of the STF (Federal Supreme Court) overturned, by 3 votes to 2, the decision of Court Minister Nunes Marques that had reinstated the deputy’s mandate. With the decision, the politician is again impeached, as defined in October 2021 by the TSE (Superior Electoral Court).
Minister Edson Fachin’s vote won. For him, political parties, candidates or agents cannot “act against democracy”, spreading fake news. The magistrate was followed by Ricardo Lewandowski and Gilmar Mendes. Nunes Marques, rapporteur of the case, lost the argument. He was only accompanied by André Mendonça.
Francischini was the first politician to lose his mandate for spreading fake news election via social networks. The TSE judgment was one of the most emblematic of the Court in 2021, because it equated digital platforms with media, such as newspapers, radio and TV, opening the way for the punishment of those who spread fake news on the internet.
WHAT ELSE FLÁVIO SAID
Read other topics covered in the interview:
SUMMIT OF THE AMERICAS – “Brazil has great potential to save the world, especially in terms of energy and food. The president is very prepared. Obviously, he himself will soon announce the progress of what will be treated with the [presidente dos EUA, Joe] Biden, but it’s a great opportunity because the entire world scenario ends up making the world’s attention turn to Brazil.”
Bolsonaro and Biden attended a bilateral meeting on Thursday (June 9), during the 9th Summit of the Americas, in Los Angeles.
The senator mentioned the US willingness to finance renewable energy projects in Latin America, which could be exported to other countries. “Once again, our foreign policy showing that it is serious, is respected and can raise its level of importance even more.”, commented.
DEMOCRACY – according to Flávio, his father traveled to the USA to “undo the fake news that is produced in Brazil and exported to the whole world that President Bolsonaro has some desire for a coup or will not respect the election result”.
“It could be an opportunity for him to show the truth of what is happening here in Brazil. Prove once again that we are a consolidated democracy, that we have a President of the Republic who respects the Constitution, who respects freedom, who respects the independence of the Powers.”
TSE (HIGH ELECTORAL COURT) – the president “wants a transparent and secure electoral process, which the TSE also says it wants, but, in practice, we see with some gestures that this would be easy to give. For example, the suggestion of the Armed Forces. They’re not just denied, they’re mocked.”.
