“Lula will not do what he wants with the fate of our nation,” said Jair Bolsonaro, already in Brazil, after returning from the United States, where he spent three months.
“I remember then that if anyone criticized Parliament, Ulysses Guimarães would say ‘wait for the next one’. This time the next one went much better. Parliament is proud of the measures, the way of doing things and acting within, doing what needs to be done and these people who are in power for a short time are showing that they are not going to do what they want with the fate of our nation.”
Bolsonaro had about 350 supporters waiting for him at Brasília airport, which he did not greet as he had been diverted to another exit for security reasons. He then went to the headquarters of the PL, his party, where the post of honorary chairman and allies, such as former ministers, awaited him.
Those supporters also went to the party headquarters, but until mid-afternoon in Portugal only saw Bolsonaro waving from the window, without speeches. However, upon leaving Orlando, the former president spoke to CNN Brasil.
“Some things are turning the pages for us and we are going to prepare for next year’s election [municipais]. I plan to travel Brazil. One or two outings per month, maximum three. For us to talk to our supporters. After all, the PL, where I sit, holds more than 20% of the Chamber and the Senate.”
“We are focused on the Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into the acts of January 8. We regret what happened.
“But I’m not going to lead any opposition. I’m going to join my party as an experienced person, 28 years in the House, four as president, two as councilor and fifteen in the army, to work with whoever wants, how can we present ourselves to keep what needs to be kept and change what needs to be changed”.
“You don’t have to be against this government. This government is an opposition in itself given the qualifications of those who are part of the ministries. [Lula] created 14 more ministries, the profile of the people is very different from ours, you can make a comparison there and you start to understand why, unfortunately I wanted it to be the opposite, this government cannot work”.
