The attack on parliament and government buildings in Brasilia by his supporters who contest Lula’s victory in the last elections also oppresses former president Jair Bolsonaro. The deputy attorney general of the Federal Court of Auditors, Lucas Rocha Furtado, asked for the blocking of Bolsonaro’s assets, as well as the governor of the Federal District Ibaneis Rocha and the former secretary of Public Security of the Federal District Anderson Torres. As reported by CNN Brasil, the prosecutor also asks for “the unavailability of the assets” also for “others responsible, in particular the financiers of the aforementioned illicit acts”.
“We are going to punish all those responsible. Speaking today at the inauguration of the new director general of the Federal Police, the magistrate promised to “firmly fight the anti-democrats, the coup plotters, those who asked for a state of emergency”. Yesterday, de Moraes dismantled the Bolsonaristas’ camp in front of the army barracks, arresting 1,500 people (600 including mothers of young children, people over 65 and others with illnesses were released today).
However, the Brazilian parliament ratified President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva’s provision that assigns security responsibilities to federal forces for one month. Approved yesterday in the House, the measure was ratified today in the Senate, with eight Bolsonarists voting against it, including Flávio Bolsonaro, the former president’s eldest son. “This anti-democratic minority does not represent the Brazilian people, this coup-mongering minority will not impose its will,” said Senate President Rodrigo Pacheco.
Meanwhile, the former president remains in the United States, but announced that he will anticipate his return to Brazil. Bolsonaro confirmed that he is admitted to a hospital in Orlando, Florida, and said that he is “fine” and should be discharged in the next few days. The hospitalization was due to “abdominal pain” resulting from intestinal obstruction, reports CNN Brasil.
