In a statement to PF, a former aide-de-camp says the former first lady and her 03 son were part of a group that encouraged the former president not to accept the results of the polls; Defense says charges are ‘absurd’
The former aide-de-camp Jair BolsonaroLieutenant Colonel Mauro Cidhe said in his plea agreement to the federal police that Eduardo Bolsonaro and the former first lady Michelle they were part of a group urging the former president not to accept defeat Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to the polls and carrying out a coup. The information was provided by the Aguirre Talento column on the portal Uol
According to the CID, this group of radical advisors, which included his son 03 and the former first lady, stated that Bolsonaro would have the support of the population and armed people, the CAC (Collectors, Sports Shooters and Hunters), who had easier access to weapons during the former president’s rule. Jair and Michelle Bolsonaro’s defense said the allegations were “absurd”, while Eduardo said the “narrative is nothing more than fantasy, a daydream”.
The senator Flavio Bolsonaro, the former president’s 01 son, is said to be part of another group, which was trying to convince Bolsonaro to speak publicly and accept the election result. The former president spoke to the public only more than 44 hours after the end of the second round, on November 1, but did not openly admit defeat to him. He said the demonstrations that took over the streets at the time demonstrated a “sense of injustice” among the people. It was up to the Prime Minister of the Civil Chamber, Ciro Nogueiraconfirm that the government will respect the transition law.
According to the CID statement, Bolsonaro’s resistance to admitting Lula’s election and demobilizing the coup camps in front of the headquarters of the armed forces was due to the fact that the then president believed in the appearance of some sign of fraud at the polls to annul the result. However, according to the former aide-de-camp, no evidence of fraud was found.
Another of Bolsonaro’s hopes, according to the statement, was for the military to join the coup proposals. More information on the CID’s complaint to the PF says that the former president had met with the leaders of the Armed Forces, after the second round of the presidential elections, to discuss the possibility of military intervention to reverse the result that had elected Lula to the seat . Presidency. .
According to the lieutenant colonel, only the commander of the Navy, Admiral Almir Garnier Santos, joined the coup proposal. Bolsonaro saw his intention to stay Planalto Palace deflated after hearing from an army officer that, in the event of a coup, he would also end up being removed from the presidency.
As aide-de-camp, Cid had free access to the Palácio do Planalto, alongside Bolsonaro in interviews, in life, in meetings and even in the operating rooms, being the right-hand man and private secretary of the then president during the four years of the last government. The memories of him and the outbursts he had make the complaints a problem for the former CEO.
Mauro Cid was arrested on May 3, in a PF operation investigating the insertion of false data on Covid-19 vaccination. After having his plea deal approved by Federal Supreme Court (STF) Minister Alexandre de Moraes, Cid was released from the barracks where he was detained on 9 September.
Jair and Michelle Bolsonaro’s defense says charges are ‘absurd’
In a statement, the defense of the former president and former first lady said that the CID’s allegations are not supported by evidence.
“The statements made by alleged sources are absurd and devoid of any support in the truth and, indeed, in evidence. It causes, at the same time, species and concern for the defense of former President Bolsonaro that such statements appear in these terms and contradict directly the very recent – said and rewritten – declarations of the Deputy Prosecutor of the Republic, Dr. Carlos Frederico, indicating that the declarations made by Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, as a rewarded collaboration, do not highlight any element that could implicate the former president in the facts which are the subject of the ‘investigation”.
The note also indicates that the Bolsonaro family has never been linked to movements of institutional disruption and that the defense has not yet had access to the contents of the complaint.
Eduardo Bolsonaro, in turn, said the accusation was fanciful. “Wanting to involve my name in this narrative is nothing more than a fantasy, a daydream. If the opposition wanted to carry out a coup d’état, one wonders, then, why the Minister of Justice did everything possible so that the images of his ministry were not made public?”
