Senate, Chamber and STF presidents did not attend the September 7 event in Brasilia
The president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) said on Wednesday (7.Sep.2022) that the heads of the Senate, Chamber and STF (Supreme Federal Court) –Rodrigo Pacheco (PSD-MG), Arthur Lira (PP-AL) and Luiz Fux, respectively – were invited to the 7 de Setembro in Brasília. None of the 3 attended the civic-military parade on the bicentennial of Independence.
“Everyone was invited. I don’t answer for them, everyone was invited,” Bolsonaro told CNN Brazil.
Lira participated in a campaign activity in Alagoas. The Senate president had already said that he would not go to the parade on Wednesday, but that he would welcome Bolsonaro and other heads of state in a solemn session of the Bicentennial of Independence in Congress this Thursday (8.set).
With no official commitments scheduled for Wednesday, Fux preferred not to go to the event. On holiday last year, Bolsonaro made direct criticism of STF ministers during demonstrations in Brasília and São Paulo.
Bolsonaro spoke at a political rally after the official event of the government of the 200 years of the Independence of Brazil, in Esplanada dos Ministérios, in Brasília. During his speech, the Chief Executive made reference to the PT government and repeated that there was a “fight of the good count the bad” in the country.
“We know that we face a struggle between good and evil. The evil that lasted for 14 years in our country, that almost broke our country and that now wants to return to the scene of the crime. They won’t. The people are on our side, the people are on the side of good, the people know what they want“, said.
Afterwards, the president went to Rio de Janeiro. In the city, he said that the former president Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (EN) has to be “excised” of public life.
“Compare Brazil with the countries of South America, compare it with Venezuela, compare it with what is happening in Venezuela and compare it with Nicaragua. What do these countries have in common? […] They are friends with each other. All the heads of state of these nations are friends of the 9 fingers that dispute the election in Brazil. It’s not just going back to the crime scene. These kind of people have to be extirpated from public life.”, declared.
