Bolsonaro sees himself jailed after leaving office, “like Áñez”
Monday, June 13th 2022 - 10:26 UTCFull article0 comments

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro said from Orlando in the United States that he feared he might end up like former Bolivia's Jeanine Áñez when he leaves office.

After having promised US President Joseph Biden that he would accept the outcome of this year's elections, which opposition candidate Luiz Inácio Lula Da Silva is poised to win according to all polls, Bolsonaro's statements this weekend mean first and foremost that the idea of being defeated had sunk into his mind.

Brazil's Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Alexandre de Moraes is leading an investigation against Bolsonaro “for allegedly spreading falsehoods about the integrity of Brazil's electronic voting system and engaging in anti-democratic acts.”

In the interview, Bolsonaro also called STF Justice Luís Roberto Barroso a “liar.” Barroso had pointed out that Bolsonaro had revealed data from a confidential investigation. The head of state claims that as President he was not bound by any restrictions.
