Moments after graduation short speech by the future ex-president Jair Bolsonaro (Poland), the political world took to social media to comment on Tuesday’s (1st) demonstration. As expected, opponents, allies and former allies gave different assessments of the performance.
Among the leaders opposing Bolsonaro, the leitmotif of the comments was criticism of the fact that the losing side did not recognize Bolsonaro’s victory. Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) not second shift.
PT President Glacey Hoffman delivered one of the most scathing criticisms. She recalled that Lula always put up with his electoral defeats, unlike Bolsonaro, whom she called “irresponsible”.
Porto Alegre council member Leonel Radde, a recently elected state deputy, called the speech and the president himself “garbage” and said he was willing to bet that he would be arrested.
Re-elected Federal MP Taliria Petrone (PSOL-RJ) criticized Bolsonaro for referring to “leftist methods” when speaking of ongoing demonstrations across the country.
Also psolist, district deputy, re-elected by the Federal District, Fabio Felix, stressed the failure to accept Bolsonaro’s defeat in the elections and called the performance “insignificant”.
former allies
Once Bolsonaro’s allies, members of the Movement for a Free Brazil criticized Bolsonaro after the speech and took the opportunity to speak out against the ongoing demonstrations. Using the usual rhetoric, they claimed that the protesters were labeled “leftists” by the President.
Criticism from former subtitles and finally suspended from Novo’s party for voting for Lula in the second round, João Amoedo was another critic of Bolsonaro.
allies vibrate
While the opposition has criticized the president’s noncommittal stance, fans have cheered and posted messages that follow the questionable nature of the president’s speech.
The re-elected federal deputy and one of the most influential voices of Bolesonaris in the chamber, Bia Kichis (LP-DF), was even more objective than Bolsonaro and said in his post that the speech was “perfect”.
Another re-elected federal deputy, Marco Feliciano (PL-SP), called Bolsonaro “our leader” and called on the militants: “patriots forward.”
Re-elected State MP Gil Diniz (LP-SP) seemed confused by the message Bolsonaro wanted to convey and said: “I follow the President, whatever his decision!” To all appearances, he expects the losing candidate to make clearer moves in the second round of the presidential election.
