Former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro this Wednesday asked Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) Judge Benedito Gonçalves, rapporteur for the trial and first voter in Thursday’s process that could strip a former head of state of the right to vote, to change your vote.
“I am sure that even Benedito, the Minister of STJ [Superior Tribunal de Justiça], now a member of the TSE speaker, will change his vote. Señor Benedito is a matter of consistency,” Jair Bolsonaro told reporters, quoted in the local press, as he left the Senate, where he met with some senators, including his son Flavio Bolsonaro.
Regarding the possibility of becoming ineligible, Bolsonaro said he “didn’t want to lose” his political rights.
