This time, for no apparent reason, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro, a candidate for re-election in the second round of the presidential election on the 30th, experienced an unexpected fit of rage during an informal meeting with journalists at the Palacio da Alvorada, the presidential residence in Brasilia. Out of control and screaming, he accused the Federal Supreme Court (STF) of backing his opponent in the race, Lula da Silva, and insulted the poll-leading former president.
The President’s excitement was not provoked by an uncomfortable question from the numerous journalists who surrounded him. He suddenly lost control of himself when he talked about various topics of Brazilian life.
Bolsonaro, who until then seemed serene, suddenly began to scream, hoarse and almost breathless, and said that the Supreme Court supported his opponent in the race for the presidency, because, according to him, Lula da Silva has an “ass”. arrested,” meaning he has pending business with the justice system. So the President suggested that the Supreme Court maneuver to elect Lula and then order him to maneuver him, which, he added, he could not do to him, Bolsonaro, because he owed nothing to justice.
No one had the courage to interrupt him, so much anger he showed, Bolsonaro turned his spinning machine gun on judge Alexandre de Moraes, who leads several investigations against him in the STF, and is also president of the TSE, the Supreme Electoral Court. ., the body responsible for elections. The head of state said that the judge is a “criminal” and “dictator” who repeatedly violates the law and the Constitution only to harm him, because, Jair Bolsonaro added, he had a “personal problem” with him, although he admitted that he did not I know what.
Finally, it’s Lula da Silva’s turn, who won the first round of last Sunday’s presidential election and is leading the second round. Bolsonaro called Lula “pingunso,” a very derogatory term for someone drunk, said that the opponent was the head of a “gang,” the Workers’ Party, and asked what would happen to Brazil if the opponent was indeed elected.
Then, suddenly calming down, he tried to be nice to the bewildered reporters. He cracked a couple of jokes and invited everyone to have lunch with him.
