Bolsonaro’s event in Rio on the 21st will have governors and parliamentarians: let’s see who will participate

Governors Cláudio Castro and Jorginho Mello, sons of Jair Bolsonaro and allies of the former president in Congress, confirmed their presence at the demonstration

The demonstration scheduled for this Sunday, the 21st, in Rio de Janeiro, called by former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL), confirmed the presence of the governor of the state, Cláudio Castro (PL), of the federal deputy Alexandre Ramagem (PL-RJ) , pre-candidate for mayor of Rio and for parliamentarians present at the February event in Sao Paulo. This is the second call for street demonstrations since the former president was the target of an operation, authorized by the Federal Supreme Court (STF), as part of the investigation into the alleged involvement of him and his allies in a coup attempt.

Representatives of the “hard core” of Bolsonarism, such as deputies Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG), Gustavo Gayer (PL-GO) and Sóstenes Cavalcante (PL-RJ), will take the stage and are expected to speak, as will Gilson Machado Neto, former tourism minister in the Bolsonaro government. MP Bia Kicis (PL-DF) informed that she should also participate in the event.

In addition to the former president himself, statements are expected from former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro (PL) and her sons, Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) and Rio councilor Carlos Bolsonaro (PL), recently affiliated with the PL. Pastor Silas Malafaia will also speak at the event, as in Sao Paulo.

In addition to Cláudio Castro, guest of the event, Jorginho Mello (PL), from Santa Catarina, is another governor who has already confirmed his presence. Unlike the head of the Rio executive, the Catarina native was present at the event in Sao Paulo. In the first demonstration, Castro claimed a trip to Portugal to justify his absence.

Only four of the 13 governors elected with Bolsonaro’s support were Paulistas: Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans), from São Paulo, Ronaldo Caiado (União Brasil), from Goiás, and Romeu Zema (Novo), from Minas Gerais, in addition to Jorginho. At that moment only Tarcisio spoke. So far the governor of Sao Paulo has not said whether he will be in Rio on Sunday.

Zema is not expected to participate this time due to the Tiradentes festival, the same day as the event. The State of Minas Gerais annually promotes the Medal of Inconfidence ceremony, in which the governor decorates those awarded the state’s highest honor. The governor’s office said there is no definition yet regarding whether he was in Bolsonaro’s act. According to Malafaia, the governors present will be invited to speak, but they will do so “if they want”.

Ramagem must not speak. His presence is seen as an opportunity to increase pre-campaign visibility together with Bolsonaro, his main electoral supporter. The Bolsonarists estimate that the speech of the pre-candidate for mayor of Rio at the event could be framed as early electoral propaganda. In Sao Paulo, Ricardo Nunes (MDB), a pre-candidate for re-election supported by Bolsonaro, also did not speak to the public.

Despite the closeness of the date, some supporters are still unsure about attending the event. The federal deputy and president of the Constitution and Justice Committee (CCJ) of the Chamber, Caroline de Toni (PL-SC), informed that she will initially travel to Rio to participate in the event, but she has not yet confirmed the presence of she. The governor of Goiás, Ronaldo Caiado (União Brasil), declared that, for now, the trip is not on his agenda.

Absent from the demonstration on Paulista Avenue in February due to an event in the Middle East, the governor of Acre, Gladson Cameli (PP), confirmed that he will not participate in the new event called by Bolsonaro. According to the governor’s office, he will be in transit on Sunday due to his commitments in Brasilia.

Senator Tereza Cristina (PP-MS), who was not in Paulista, will also not attend the Rio event. According to the press office, the parliamentarian already has a family engagement planned in the capital of Sao Paulo and has communicated her absence to her. the former president. In February she didn’t show up because she was off sick.

Federal deputy Carla Zambelli (PL-SP) should also be missing from the act. The parliamentarian said so Estadao who broke his ankle ligament and therefore will not go to Rio. At the event in Sao Paulo, unlike other parliamentarians, Zambelli was in the supporting trio, he did not speak or make himself noticed.

Investigated for attempted coup d’état, Bolsonaro invited the demonstration on his social networks, specifying that he and the other organizers “will bring information about our democratic rule of law” and will talk about “the greatest fake news of the history of Brazil, which today is summarized in the coup plan” – document to declare the state of siege in the country and which, according to investigations, was drawn up by Bolsonaro.
