The judge allied with Lula, Alexandre de Moraes, rejected the request from the defense of the former president and political prisoner
The court justified the reinforcement of the restrictions due to Bolsonaro's "non-compliance" with a precautionary measure. The former president disseminated a simple letter of support for the candidacy of his own son, Flávio Bolsonaro.
The regime of Lula da Silva rejected on Saturday a request presented by the defense of Jair Bolsonaro to allow a visit from the Argentine president Javier Milei at the residence where the former president and political prisoner is serving his sentence.
The decision was made by Lula's allied judge, Alexandre de Moraes, within the framework of the unjustified restrictions currently in place against Bolsonaro.
The request from the former president's lawyers sought an exceptional authorization to allow the meeting in Brasilia, where Bolsonaro is serving a sentence of 27 years under house arrest. However, the Brazilian Supreme Court decided not to grant the request, in line with the limitations already imposed.
The denial comes after Brazilian Justice ordered a tightening of detention conditions on Friday. Among the new measures, a prohibition on receiving social, political, or electoral visits was established until the conclusion of the legislative, regional, and presidential elections scheduled for October.
According to the resolution signed by Alexandre de Moraes, for the next thirty days, only medical, physiotherapy, and legal professionals will be allowed to enter the residence. Thus, any other type of meeting is expressly prohibited until the electoral process concludes.
Days ago, Javier Milei confirmed his trip to Brazil for July 25, with the aim of attending the event where Flávio Bolsonaro would be proclaimed presidential candidate. He also indicated that he would take the opportunity to have a personal meeting with Jair Bolsonaro.
“On the 25th, I am traveling to Brazil, where Flávio Bolsonaro will be anointed as a candidate, and I will be in São Paulo. Afterwards, I will make a stop in Brasilia to see Jair Bolsonaro,” Milei expressed days ago in statements to radio Now Now 97.9.
The imposed restrictions not only impact the political sphere but also affect the close circle of the former president. His son Flávio has had visits suspended for a period of ninety days, in a measure that reinforces the isolation and censorship imposed by the Justice and Lula's regime.
From Bolsonaro's legal team, they questioned the scope of the judicial decisions and described the situation as one of “communication isolation.”
