Michelle Bolsonaro introduces herself as the name of the PL and says she suffers a ‘reputation murder’


In an event marked by the expulsion of journalists, the former first lady presented her life journey and said she and her husband are targets of defamation

BRASÍLIA – During a last minute event organized by PL Mulher for journalists, former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro (PL) presented herself, this Saturday 2, as a political force to her supporters and stated that she and former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) are the subject of defamation and an attempted “reputational murder”. Both are under investigation by the Federal Police (PF) for alleged involvement in an illegal sale program of jewels received from the Presidency of the Republic.

The event was organized to swear in PL representatives in the Federal District, but most of the programming focused on speeches by the former first lady. Accredited journalists were expelled, claiming that the Sala Hípica, the space where the party meeting in the federal capital took place, had no space to accommodate the press.

In addition to the former first lady, the meeting was attended by federal deputies Bia Kicis (PL-DF), Amália Barros (PL-MT) and the interim governor of the Federal District, Celina Leão (PP-DF). Bolsonaro appeared at the end of the event, where he gave a short speech to his supporters.

In speaking, Michelle presented herself as a “simple” woman who has a long history of “sowing good” on behalf of people with disabilities, through community services performed before and after having held the position of first lady.

Michelle calls the Lula government “bad governance” and says Bolsonaro discovered Brazil

Emphasizing the opposition stance of the PL, the former first lady also criticized the government of President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT), which she classified as “bad governance” and “minefield”, quoting a biblical proverb to compare the management of the petista with that of her husband: “When the righteous govern, the people rejoice, but the wicked govern, the people do not cry, the people groan”.

“That president who didn’t lose the election, that president who elected the largest conservative group to Congress, that president who put the name of God above all else, that president who saved love, patriotism and planted a seed that has left a patriotic legacy. And that no one will erase,” said the former first lady of her husband.

Speaking about policies for people with disabilities (PCD), Michelle said that Brazil was discovered in January 2019, when her husband assumed the presidency. Bolsonaro arrived at the event late, interrupting a coreligionist speech and receiving a “throw on the ear” from the former first lady for arriving “a little too early”. In a quick statement, Bolsonaro did not address the usual acid criticisms of Lula, and said that last year’s elections should be considered a “turn of the page”.

“I can only thank you for your support over these four years. I have given my all over these four years. Let’s consider last year a turned page and move forward, because our Brazil needs to change more than haste,” he said. said the former president.

“They’re trying to erase our legacy,” Michelle says

Not to mention the jewelery case, where she and her husband are being investigated for discovering that allies of the former president allegedly sold jewelery and other valuables received on official trips, Michelle said she was the target of defamation and an attempted murder of reputation, and stressed that the support of coreligionists of the PL is important to address the situation.

“Don’t pay attention to narratives that are being constructed to smear us, to assassinate our reputation. They are trying to erase our legacy,” he said.

The Brasilia event comes two days after the presidential couple opted for silence in a simultaneous testimony by the PF who, in addition to Bolsonaro and Michelle, has sued six other people. In a note published on social networks, the former first lady explained that she preferred to remain silent during the hearing because the Federal Supreme Court (STF), which monitors police investigations and authorizes operations, breaches of secrecy and searches, does not would be competent. for the case.

Talks between investigators point out that a jewel “disappeared with Dona Michelle”

Launched on August 11, the Federal Police operation Lucas 12:2 revealed that allies of the former president would have sold jewels and other valuables received during the official trips of the President of the Republic. According to the PF, these pieces, which should have been incorporated into the Union’s collection, were omitted by public bodies, incorporated into Bolsonaro’s personal inventory and traded abroad for the purpose of illicit enrichment.

Attempts to sell the jewels were only paralyzed after Estadão revealed in March that Bolsonaro’s aides had attempted to enter Brazil illegally with a kit consisting of a necklace, ring, watch and a pair of diamond earrings delivered by the Saudi Arabian government, which would later be handed over to Bolsonaro and Michelle.

In an exchange of messages between Mauro Cid and Marcelo Câmara, two assistants of Bolsonaro also summoned to testify simultaneously, the legality of the sale of jewels is discussed and Marcelo claims that an object would have “disappeared” from the former prime minister. “What’s already gone is gone. But if that still proves us right, it won’t be a problem. Because what went with Ms. Michelle is already gone; so there won’t be a problem,” he said.

For the PF, the message exchange may indicate that other objects may have been hijacked by the group. “The messages reveal that, despite the restrictions, perhaps other gifts received by former President Jair Bolsonaro may have been hijacked and sold without respecting legal restrictions, also noting that “the one that went with the lady…”

Away from the press and the PF, Michelle mocked the situation that threatens to affect Bolsonaro’s electoral capital and legal situation. Before moving on to simultaneous testimony, she posted an MMA workout video with the caption, “Of life’s punches, these are the best.”

Last Saturday, 26, at another PL Mulher event, this time in Pernambuco, she said she was going to create a line of products called “Mijoias”, after being asked about the destination of the objects.
