the former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) shared on his Facebook profile on the night of Tuesday (10.jan.2023) a video that says, without evidence, that the president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) was not elected, but “chosen by ministers of the STF and TSE”.
The publication is an excerpt from an interview with Felipe Gimenez, attorney for Mato Grosso do Sul. It was originally posted by Maria Lealwho claims to be a resident of Vitória da Conquista (Bahia) and a supporter of the former chief executive.
The video was shared by Bolsonaro, who has 15 million followers on Facebook, amid heightened emotions from right-wing supporters after arrests of extremists for vandalizing the Três Poderes buildings in Brasilia on January 8.

There is no evidence to prove fraud at the polls in the 2022 elections. Lula was elected in the 2nd round, on October 30, with 60,345,999 votes (50.9% of the valid ones). Read all survey data.
Bolsonaro is in Orlando, in the United States. He traveled on December 30 of last year, thus avoiding passing the presidential sash to Lula.
The video shared by the former president on Tuesday (10.jan) on Facebook brings disconnected information. Is it possible to watch clicking here. THE Power360 listened and described the content. Read below everything that was said by Felipe Gimenez:
“Lula was not elected by the Brazilian people. Lula was chosen by the electoral service. And I say this, I insist, I will repeat: Lula was not elected by the Brazilian people. Lula was chosen by the electoral service, by the ministers of the STF, by the ministers of the Superior Electoral Court. Because if it were a choice of the people, there would be power of the people over that choice, power of the people over the process of counting the votes. That’s what I’ve been repeating for years.
“I’m pretty tired to say. And people don’t care about that. There is a principle that constitutes democracy, which is the principle of publicity. It is one of the principles that is there, in Article 37, which is the principle of publicity. People hear this and don’t care. It’s like a car horn. When I say this: the constitutional principle of advertising was broken in 1996. People don’t care. It goes in one ear and out the other. It’s like the horn of a passing car.
“If I told you. The building is falling down. One of the beams, one of the pillars of the building, cracked. Understand this. In 96, one of the columns of the building was broken by the ministers of the Federal Supreme Court, it was broken by the Brazilian electoral service. And people are in that fantasy, like they’re watching a James Bond movie. Each one wanting to be more interesting in the discussion of the subject. It doesn’t matter how the thief got into your house. You were robbed. What matters is this.
“You don’t see the counting of votes. You don’t even see your vote. How can you be sure that an image that software shows you on a screen is the same as what came out of your consciousness. The image you see is produced by the software. Software that is not under your control, that is not written by you, that is not verified by you.
“The state is secular. There is no citizen faith. No one is obliged to trust a public servant. Trust is confidere. Fidere de fides, faith. The state is secular. No one has to have faith in anyone in a democracy. There is no principle of faith in a democracy. The public service is obliged to do this job openly, in front of the citizen’s eyes. That’s why Germany refused the 1st generation ballots. It’s just for that. The German Constitutional Court, when it rejected the 1st generation ballot box, basically what it said was: anyone, anyone, from the scientist to the collector of cans, must have the possibility to see the counting of votes. That’s why Denmark votes on a newspaper-sized ballot. That’s why Japan materializes the vote. That’s why India embodies the vote. That’s why Paraguay uses a 3rd generation ballot box, which materializes the vote. Because we human beings don’t have any senses that allow us to see an electrical pulse.
“And there’s no point in this nonsense of comparing the financial system with the vote. The data that travels in the cybernetics of the financial world is data that is traceable back to its source. What is the origin of the six vote, Mario? It is your conscience. How can anyone trace their conscience? Only you, and no one else in the universe, can say that the record outside of you equals your consciousness. That is why the vote must have matter.”
