Flávio Bolsonaro publishes statement and denies regret

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) on Sunday published an official note stating that he regrets “absolutely nothing I did.” In the position, the parliamentarian refuted recent judicial decisions, justified his going abroad declaring that he did not leave the country, but “for Brazil”.

Flávio has been in the US since Wednesday (28/10), when he fled Brazil after being defeated in the elections for President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). According to the senator, he is in a country where he can express “freely his opinion”.

Note rebates judicial decisions

In the text, the senator criticized the Judiciary’s actions and said that the measures against him were based on “lies”. “Don’t leave Brazil, leave for Brazil! I dreamed of changing our country for the better and on Sunday, just seven minutes after the announcement of the result of the elections, there was already a court decision with precautionary measures against me, based on lies.

He also questioned the fairness of the process. “This is not democracy and it is far from a fair and impartial judicial process,” he said. The source did not specify which court decisions motivated the criticism.

Senator quotes Zanin and criticizes system

Flávio Bolsonaro claimed to have faced a system that he says wants to keep things as they are. “I was a presidential candidate facing a whole system that wants things to continue as they are in Brazil: great for them, but much worse for you. I regret absolutely nothing I have done and leave a reflection: ‘There is no effective remedy in Brazil to stop violations of Human Rights.’” (Cristiano Zanin, Aug 7, 2016)

The citation attributed to Cristiano Zanin, lawyer and current minister of STF, was used by the senator to reinforce his criticism of the judicial system. The source did not detail the original context of the sentence.

Flávio promises interviews without cuts

The MP announced that he will grant interviews in the coming days. “In the coming days, I will talk to great national and international vehicles. No cuts, no filters. Anyone who wants to listen will listen to what no one else can say while in Brazil,” he said.

The statement suggests that the senator intends to use free speech in the U.S. to make revelations or criticisms that he says would not be possible in Brazil. The source did not specify which vehicles would be searched.

Publication in X reminds subpoena

In a publication in X, Flávio recalled that he was subpoenaed by the Federal Police after the order of Minister Alexandre de Moraes, of Supremo Tribunal Federal (STF), to hand over his passports. “All before the tearful gaze of a father (former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL), with comorbidities, who is sentenced to more than 27 years in prison,” he wrote.

The reference to his father, Jair Bolsonaro, sentenced to more than 27 years in prison, appears as an emotional appeal in the note. The source did not detail the former president’s health status or the conditions of the subpoena.

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro did not respond to further requests for comment until the publication of this article. The Boca no Trombone Portal will continue to monitor the developments of the parliamentary statements and possible reactions of the Judiciary.
