In an old video that was just released and went viral due to its unusual content, former Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro appears to tell ministers and advisers during a meeting that his election as Brazil’s president was just luck, a “good mistake” ” , and that the ascension of a “bastard” like him to the highest office in the land will never be repeated.
The video, released after the mega-operation that the Federal Police carried out last Thursday against Bolsonaro, the target of the search and arrest, as well as against his former ministers and advisers, four of whom were arrested, was recorded during a meeting between him and the ministers on July 5, 2022. when he was still head of state and was planning a coup to remain in office indefinitely.
“There won’t be any other crap like this in Brazil. “Good shit,” I want to be clear. How can I win the election, a bastard like me? A deputy like me, from the lower clergy, ridiculed and ignored in the Chamber of Deputies, ridiculed, ridiculed, damn deputy?” Bolsonaro addressed his ministers, civilian and military advisers, who listened in silence, not knowing what to say. Video of this unflattering self-determination was seized by Federal Police on a computer used by Bolsonaro’s former aide-de-camp Lt. Col. Mauro Cid, who was jailed for five months last year on charges of helping the former president illegally trade millions of euros in official gifts to the United States offered by other countries in Brazil, and for participating in the coup plan.
The video remained confidential until now and was one of the pieces of evidence supporting last Thursday’s operation against Bolsonaro and his inner circle, as at the same meeting the then-president called on his ministers to help him carry out a coup to stay in power. forever, already predicting, as actually happened a few months later, that he would lose the presidential election in October of that year to the current president, Lula da Silva.
