In an interview with BandNews TV, federal deputy Sostenes Cavalcante (PL-RJ) said Jair Bolsonaro lives a kind of house arrest. The PL leader in the House of Representatives met with the former president and opposition parliamentarians on Wednesday (23) to plan political and legal strategies.
“We are organizing a strategic planning of all our actions until the return of parliamentary recess. We will work hard throughout the week,” said Sostenes. According to the deputy, unified opposition efforts are being employed at the Communication Commission, aiming to enhance citizens’ spontaneous demonstrations about “political persecution of the Supreme Court (STF)”. In addition, a national act was summoned to August 3.
“It is already practically under house arrest. If there is any decision, it will only be to increase the time [de recolhimento] During the day, ”said Sostenes Cavalcante
When asked about the possibility of STF Minister Alexandre de Moraes determining Jair Bolsonaro’s preventive house arrest, the parliamentarian said the former president did not comment on the issue in this morning conversation. “No one expects prison, especially when she’s unfair,” he said.
Sostenes Cavalcante also repudiated the precautionary measures already in force. “He suffers a dismembered sanction, never seen in Brazil,” he reiterated. According to the deputy, the measures were not motivated by the inquiry of the alleged attempted coup d’état on January 8, but because he was witness in a lawsuit involving his son, Eduardo Bolsonaro.
“We have political actions being studied and two legislative actions that are already in the House,” said the parliamentarian when talking about the alternatives of federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP). In the political route, the opposition articulates the possibility of being licensed from the mandate to take over a secretary of some Brazilian state governed by allies on the right and thus maintain dialogue with the United States. In the legislature, Sostenes cited the possibility of requesting help from the president of the Chamber of Deputies, Hugo Motta (Republicans-PB).
