Working about 24 minutes a day, Bolsonaro's inner circle fears he will not finish his term.

“The strategy has been considered a mistake,” points out Guilherme Amado.

Cornered by accusations, Bolsonaro attacks Lula and students.

247 - “Close advisors to Jair Bolsonaro fear that the defeated president will not be able to complete his term. The reason is Bolsonaro's psychological state, who, in practice, has been removed from the Presidency since election day,” reports journalist Guilherme Amado in his column on the Metrópoles website.

According to Amado, “people close to the president describe his state as 'apathetic' or 'depressed.' Bolsonaro has had very few public engagements in the last two weeks. He did not do his traditional Thursday live broadcasts, a habit he maintained even when traveling abroad.”

"The strategy has been considered a mistake. In the Presidential Palace, it is believed that, after November 15th, the president's voters will begin to demand his presence or a public statement," he adds.
