Bolsonaro sues Wyllys and asks for R$ 100.

247 - Columnist Ancelmo Gois reports in this Sunday's edition of O Globo (27) that the lawsuit that Bolsonaro filed against federal deputy Jean Wyllys (PSol-RJ) is ready, awaiting only the sentence, in which he asks for compensation of R$ 100 thousand. The lawsuit against the deputy stems from an interview with the newspaper O Povo, in August 2017, in which the parliamentarian allegedly called the president "fascist", "racist", "stupid", "ignorant" and "scoundrel" - without mentioning Bolsonaro's name.

Bolsonaro has always persecuted Congressman Jean Wyllys, with homophobic attacks and insults. Last Wednesday (23), he announced that he is giving up taking office as a federal congressman for which he was re-elected last October and will leave the country, to guarantee the safety of his life, threatened by supporters of the president.

The columnist reports that "it is already with Judge Márcia Holanda, of the 47th Civil Court of Rio, ready for sentencing, which should be issued in the coming days, "one of the many lawsuits involving the spats between Jean Wyllys and Jair Bolsonaro." 

"This is a lawsuit for damages filed by the president — who is asking for more than R$ 100 — against the congressman who is leaving the country after being threatened by 'Bolsonaro supporters'," he says. Ancelmo Gois
