Temer decides to remain silent about accusations of criminal organization.
After meetings with high-ranking members of his government, Michel Temer decided not to make an official statement regarding the second indictment against him filed by the Attorney General's Office (PGR), this time for criminal organization and obstruction of justice. Temer was unsure whether or not to comment, and after consulting with interlocutors and ministers (some of whom were also indicted), he was convinced that the statement released on Thursday was sufficient, in which he stated that the second indictment is "full of absurdities," "lacks credibility," and "pure fantasy."

Brazilian President Temer, a member of the PMDB party, decided to remain at the Planalto Palace on Saturday morning to meet with Foreign Minister Aloysio Nunes and other advisors.
