The arrest of Bolsonaro: the reactions of children, Michelle, allies and opponents of the former president


The children and allies of Bolsonaro ranked the arrest of the house as a symbol of the end of the dictatorship in Brazil, while the opponents spoke of the lack of respect for Bolsonaro for precautionary measures.




The arrest of the Chamber of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), determined by the Minister of the Supreme Court (Stf) Alexandre de Moraes on Monday (4/8), generated reactions of children, allies and opponents.

In the decision, Moraes says that the former president did not comply with the precautionary measures imposed on July 17, when the minister determined the use of an electronic ankle to the former president, as well as the prohibition of the direct use of social networks or through third parties.

According to Monday, Bolsonaro “has produced material for the publication on social networks of his three children and all his followers and political supporters, with a clear content of incentives and instigation to attacks on the Supreme Court and the support, ostestress, to a foreign intervention in the Brazilian judiciary.”

Respect for the sentence has an indefinite time and also imposes Bolsonaro’s ban on receiving visits.

The lawyer of the former president Celso Vilardi was wanted by the BBC News Brazil, but did not reply to the message.

Take a look at some reactions to the determination of domestic arrest.

Eduardo and Flávio Bolsonaro: “End of Democracy”

Son of the former president and federal deputy (PL-SP), Eduardo Bolsonaro made places in English and Portuguese on social networks x protesting against his father’s arrest.

The deputy, who lives in the United States and put pressure on American politicians for sanctions against Alexandre de Moraes and the Supreme Court, said that the arrest took place “without crime, without evidence, without trial”.

“Brazil is no longer a democracy. The world must notice it,” wrote the parliamentarian.

Eduardo Bolsonaro stressed that Moraes’ decision occurred on the same day when the organization for the works of civilization published a dossier accusing the Minister of the Stf of creating a Task force to publish posts on social media by justifying the arrests of January 8.

Bolsonaro and Eduardo are investigated for an attempt to hinder the process in which the former president is accused of commanding a coup d’état supported to remain in power.

Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) declared in an interview with CNN Brazil that his father’s arrest shows that Brazil would now be “officially in a dictatorship”.

“One person decrees the arrest of a former President of the Republic, an honest person, an correct person,” said Flávio, stating that the cause against his father would be a “match of marked cards”.

“It was all that Alexandre Moraes wanted to take revenge on President Bolsonaro.”

The senator accused Moraes of “unbalanced the electoral process” previously when he was president of the TSE during the 2022 elections – “weighing more in favor of our competitor,” said Flávio.

Michelle Bolsonaro: “God himself is the judge”

The former First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) published only a biblical psalm to comment on the arrest of the former president.

“And the skies announce their justice; since God himself is the judge,” he wrote.

Sunday (3/8), Michelle participated in the demonstration of her husband’s supporters in Belém (PA). At the time, he held a speech by saying that the rights are violated.

“My husband is suffering from a previous censorship, my husband was silenced. Many have been silent before. We have several citizens arrested.”

Right politicians criticize the motivation of domestic arrest

The governor of Minas Gerais, Romeu Zema (Novo), ranked the arrest of Jair Bolsonaro as “dark chapter in the history of the political persecution of the Supreme Court”.

According to Zema, Bolsonaro would have been punished only to have “his voice heard in the networks”. The governor provided solidarity with the former president and his family.

The Federal Deputy and the leader PL in the Chamber, Prosa Cavalcante (RJ) wrote on his social network that Jair Bolsonaro’s arrest shows that democracy in Brazil would end.

“There are no more institutions, there are tyrants with toga,” said Cavalcante, claiming that the former president would not have committed a crime and was not entitled to defense.

The deputy federal Nikolas Ferreira (PL-MG) made some places on his social networks criticizing the home arrest decree against Jair Bolsonaro.

Ferreira is mentioned in Moraes ‘decision, according to which the parliamentarian would have used the former president to increase hostility to justice showing Bolsonaro in the video call during a demonstration of scholarships in San Paolo (SP): (…) Juliams’ parliamentarian used the setting of Jair Messias with justice in the free sense. (…).

Ferreira claimed to have shown only Bolsonaro to look at the event, not to speak.

“Look, what a confused dictatorship, right? He cannot speak, he cannot do an interview, but if someone else films him and puts him on social networks, that person is responsible and he [Jair Bolsonaro] He is also responsible. What do you mean? “He asked the deputy minas Gerais.

The parliamentarian, as well as Eduardo Bolsonaro, underlined that Moraes’ decision occurred on the same day of the publication of the works of Civilization.

Ferreira declared that the Magnitsky law, of which Moraes was targeted in the United States, is “little” for the Minister of the Stf – which, according to the parliamentarian, should go to the “prison”.

Governors speak in accordance with justice

Among the governors, the arrest of the Bolsonaro house was celebrated as the fulfillment of the courts.

PT leader in the Chamber of Representatives, the Parliamentary Lindbergh Farias (RJ) said that the arrest determined by the Supreme Court was “proportional to the severity of the documents”.

“The measure was not only because it is unable to respect the already imposed precautions, but for having repeated deliberately, passing by the judicial authority and continuing against the state of democratic law,” said the pedestal on the social network X.

“Him [Jair Bolsonaro] He appeared in a video call during a public act, with dissemination on social networks managed by their children, violating the prohibition of direct or indirect use of the networks. In addition, it continues to promote foreign sanctions against Brazil and payment against national sovereignty in the articulation with international political actors, “listed Farias.

Member of the Lula Administration, Marcelo Freixo (PSOL) defended on his social networks according to which Bolsonaro was penalized with domestic arrest because “he broke a judicial decision again”.

“Bolsonaro tried to transform the ankle and the ban on the networks into a public show. There has been repeated non -compliance with a judicial decision. The judicial decision is not a political discourse, it is a crime. He asked to be arrested,” said Freixo, president of Embratur.
