Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said the mission to take charge of the country God has allegedly entrusted to him is not over, in the first such statement since he was defeated by President Lula da Silva.
“It was an experience that I understand as a mission and as He [Deus] Understand it, I think this mission is not over,” Bolsonaro said during a speech at an evangelical church in Orlando, United States of America.
“He knows the right time for everything,” he added, receiving an immediate “amen” from those present.
Jair Bolsonaro also told during his speech at the church of Nueva Esperanza that while he was president, he would have asked God what his alleged sin would have been for holding a position that brought him nothing but trouble, published in a series of videos through the Metrópoles portal.
“Sometimes you don’t remember that I had a wife. It’s true. You come home and she’s asleep or when she left I was the one who slept,” he recalled in relation to Michelle Bolsonaro, who has been in Brazil since the end of January and already working for the Liberal Party (PL).
Bolsonaro also took the opportunity to protest the salary he received while he was president of Brazil, stating that no one wins office to be financially rewarded. “Does anyone know how much my salary was in December last year? 33 thousand reais, that’s $6,000. Is it worth it?” he wondered.
The former Brazilian president also criticized the pressure he received from various political parties to occupy a ministry – “it has always been like that in Brazil and now it is like this” – and again in the government of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.
“Setting up a ministry is not (…) ‘I love you’. First you have to see if the person is qualified. See if he accepts it, because being a minister doesn’t pay that much in terms of salary (…) If you compares my ministers to those who came before me and those who are at the moment, the difference is huge,” Bolsonaro noted.
While Jair Bolsonaro extends his stay in the United States with no scheduled date for his return to Brazil, the investigations against him continue for a variety of reasons, some of them related to his attacks on institutions and the electoral system, which he cast doubt on even when he won. in 2018.
Before his return, the former Brazilian president should join former President Donald Trump in Washington in the annual Conference on Conservative Political Action (CPAC), which will take place between March 1 and 4.
