Eduardo Bolsonaro attacks Alexandre de Moraes by denying coup attempts.
The congressman insinuated that the Supreme Court minister's decision to investigate the attempted coup is generic, a kind of "flying cockroach." "It's tarnishing the name of the Federal Police."
247 - Federal deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) attacked Supreme Federal Court (STF) minister Alexandre de Moraes for denying coup attempts during his father Jair Bolsonaro's (PL) government. "What executive act was committed?" he questioned. The congressman insinuated that Moraes' decision to order an investigation into the coup attempt is generic and needs more consistent argumentation. The minister's statement is a "flying cockroach," he added during a live broadcast on his YouTube channel.
Bolsonaro's son stated that his father is still able to gather many voters to support the former president. Moraes "is trying to stifle this achievement," Eduardo said. "Alexandre de Moraes's hand is tarnishing the name of the Federal Police. The persecution (against Bolsonaro) is notorious." >>> Bolsonaro and his coup-plotting allies could face up to 23 years in prison.
Bolsonaro's son denied any attempt at institutional rupture. "There is a path to crime. A crime begins with contemplation, then goes through preparatory acts, and finally, is consummated. To consider that there was an attempt, you have to begin the execution. There are several considerations. Where is the crime? The execution? What act of execution was committed?", he questioned.
"Bolsonaro never received a draft of a coup. A coup isn't carried out on paper. It's carried out with a gun, with weapons, shots, and death," he continued. "The Judiciary is concentrating its energies on January 8th, which wasn't even imagined, and we're letting the increase in crime, Brazil resuming relations with Venezuela, and pardoning people imprisoned in Lava Jato pass by." >>> A document supporting a coup, found at the PL headquarters, was in Bolsonaro's office.
