The former president also complained that he lost armored cars. Lula said it’s hard to disembody the job
Jair Bolsonaro even wanted a motorbike, like the ones sprinkled with snacks from his company card, to celebrate his return to Brazil after 89 days in the United States. The PL predicted a crowd of 5,000 and dreamed of 10,000. But, according to Poder Online, the welcoming committee didn’t exceed 350 people. Among them is their son Eduardo Bolsonaro, who got up early to receive his father. In a meeting with PL, the former president allegedly complained about the lack of armored cars, which is not part of the state’s obligations towards its former presidents.
The ex-captain chose the date of return himself. To no one’s surprise, he will take advantage of tomorrow, the anniversary of the military coup, to join those commemorating one of Brazil’s worst times, the widows and widowers of the dictatorship. But his arrival is a real shock for Bolsonaro, who has not hidden his fragility and his tears in the electoral defeat and who has remained in self-exile in a Florida mansion in recent months.

When he left the government in 2011, Lula never tired of repeating the difficulty of passing the sash to his successor. He said it was difficult to “disembodiment the presidency.” Don’t cry, laugh. But she said it, always following Dilma Rousseff.
Bolsonaro feels the same difficulty of having lost the power of his BIC pen or of his pens given to him by the Saudi Arabian government. One of the gifts, actually a third batch, is still in his possession and needs to be returned, newspapers reported this week. Rather than waiting for a crowd, which has not arrived, the Bolsonarista nucleus hopes that the judicial bills of his government will not arrive, at least in the short term, such as the investigations that could lead to the loss of his political rights, make him ineligible, to say the least minimum. The captain lost power when he left the Palácio do Alvorada, from where former first lady Michelle even took the lucky coins from the carp tank, according to her to donate them to a church.
After a three-month break, in which he only appeared on social media in two ways (excited about having lost or released papers on his alleged successes), Bolsonaro has not awakened in his constituents the desire to get up early at the airport entrance. Appointed honorary president of the PL, he will have to live with his wife as a political figure for the first time. He didn’t work out too well with one of her exes in this role when he put her son up against her for a seat in the House in 2000. Those deals never go as planned. For now, Michelle appears as an alternative to her PL if her husband is found to be ineligible. But her great adversary as leader of the right will really be Tarcísio de Freitas, if the governor of São Paulo behaves well. It’s too early to bet.
However, it is a mistake to think that this is the beginning of the end for the former president. The history of politics is one of ups and downs, and the ideas that brought Bolsonaro to the presidency are still very much alive in state governments, town halls, legislative chambers and sectors of society. The fact is that Bolsonarism does without Bolsonaro. By leaving the country for three months, at a critical moment for his constituents, he left that leadership void and lost his role as a myth.
For now, it’s time to grab the popcorn to see how Bolsonaro manages to “disembody the Presidency” and, at the same time, reclaim his right-wing superhero cover.
