The celebration of 200 years of the independence of Brazil was painted on Bolsonaro T-shirts, with, for example, the campaign slogan “Brazil above all, God above all”, caps with the inscription “Bolsonaro 2022”, banners against the president of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal, Alexandre de Moraes, defending his impeachment, and many slogans, many in favor of Bolsonaro, several against Lula da Silva and the media.
The first supporters of the president began to arrive at the Esplanada dos Ministérios as the clock struck 07:00 and from that moment, people began to hear “myth, myth, myth” or “Lula thief, your place is in jail “. . As the moment of Bolsonaro’s arrival at the venue approached and the audience grew, the tone and strength of the slogans also increased.
Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa arrived at around 8:20 am, he was received by Vice President Hamilton Mourão, with whom he spent a large part of the ceremony.
Bolsonaro arrived around 9:00 am, he walked down the avenue, from one side to the other, when he returned to the presidential gallery, he walked several meters next to the businessman Luciano Hang, investigated by the Brazilian justice for belonging and participating in a group of WhatsApp in which threats of a coup d’état were made if Lula da Silva wins the elections. This same businessman went up to the podium and warmly greeted the Portuguese president, having even occupied, for a few minutes, the place on the left side of Jair Bolsonaro, who was destined, and was occupied most of the time, by Marcelo.
Back at the hotel, Marcelo Rebelo de Sousa spoke with the journalists and tried to devalue the rallying tone of the civic-military parade. “I, in the gallery where I was, did not hear these slogans. I come here in a historic gesture. This is a historical moment and it is not historical because there is an election, it is historical because there are two hundred years of life.”
