Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL), who has been in the United States since the end of last year, shared a video this Tuesday 10, questioning the result of the 2022 presidential election, in his first rally expressed in defense of the thesis. of electoral fraud after Sunday’s coup in Brasilia. The content was deleted just over three hours later.
The video shared by Bolsonaro shows an excerpt from an interview with lawyer Felipe Gimenez, from Mato Grosso do Sul, in which he claims that the election of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) was rigged and that electronic voting is unreliable . The clipping carries the caption “Lula was not elected by the people, he was chosen and elected by STF and TSE”.
“Lula was not elected by the Brazilian people. Lula was chosen by the election service, the ministers of the STF and the ministers of the Higher Electoral Tribunal,” Gimenez says in the video. “Because if it was a people’s choice, there would be people’s power over that choice, people’s power over the vote-counting process.”
The conspiracy hypothesis of the video shared by the former president is one of the narratives used as a foundation by the extremists who invaded the National Congress, the Planalto Palace and the Federal Supreme Court on Sunday.
Accused of instigating anti-democratic acts, Bolsonaro also said on Sunday that looting and invasions of public buildings “run away from the rule” and denied responsibility for the facts.
“Peaceful demonstrations, in the form of the law, are part of democracy. However, the looting and invasion of public buildings as they have occurred today, as well as those practiced by the left in 2013 and 2017, escape the rule,” he wrote on a social network.
The ex-president’s sharing of the video came a day before the news that new acts are scheduled for this Wednesday, the 11th, in all capitals of the country, including Brasilia. The information was disclosed in the early hours of this Wednesday by the Advocate General of the Union (AGU).
