247 - After spending R$ 32 billion to co-opt deputies into voting to shelve the second accusation against him, Michel Temer released a video on social media stating that "the truth prevailed." Temer also thanked the parliamentarians who voted to shelve the accusation. "Brazil is always greater than any challenge. And it became even stronger after having its institutions dramatically tested in recent months. In the end, the truth prevailed. The individual and institutional guarantees of our Constitution prevailed," he said.
Despite being rejected by more than 90% of the population, Temer said that he will now do "even more, with the help of Congress and, above all, with the help of all Brazilians.
