Bolsonaro contradicts the Attorney General's Office and says he will appeal to have Ramagem in the Federal Police: 'I'm the one in charge'
“I want Ramagem there. It’s interference, right? We’ll do everything for Ramagem,” declared Bolsonaro, contradicting what he said earlier in a statement to the Attorney General’s Office, that he would not appeal the Supreme Court’s decision that suspended the appointment of the new director of the Federal Police.
247 Jair Bolsonaro disregarded an official statement from the Attorney General's Office (AGU), now headed by José Levi do Amaral, and declared that the federal government will indeed appeal to have Alexandre Ramagem appointed as director-general of the Federal Police.
“I want Ramagem there. It’s interference, right? We’ll do everything for Ramagem. If not, his time will come, and we’ll put someone else in,” Bolsonaro declared. When questioned about the Attorney General’s Office’s position, which had been released shortly before, he replied that appealing is a “duty of the agency.” “I’m the one in charge,” he added.
Ramagem's appointment to head the Federal Police It was suspended by Justice Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Federal Court.. In the note, José Levi argued that it would not appeal because, after Moraes' decision, the Executive rendered the appointment ineffective., and therefore there would be no reason to insist.
