The main pupil of Bolsonaro says before the judge that he never heard him speak suddenly
Him Most exceptional student of Jair Bolsonaro And the possible presidential candidate on the right in 2026 said this Friday as a witness in The judgment at the level Against the former president who develops in the Supreme Court, in Brasilia. The current governor of San Paolo, Tarcisio de Freitas, who was a minister of Bolsonaro, assured the judges in front of the judges that he never heard the defendant speak of a coup d’état. Freitas testified on a day when President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva received good news and bad. The GDP of the first quarter increased by 1.4%, thanks to the impulse of agriculture. But the left has failed to translate such data into political support. The refusal between the electorate has increased again, exceeds 53%. According to an Atlas survey.
The Paolist Governor was one of the witnesses who raised the greatest number of expectations in the trial in which Bolsonaro and many of his closest collaborators when he held the power to face more than 40 years in prison for having urged a plot of the coup against Lula. The interest is motivated because Freitas is the favorite man by a large part of Bolsonaro’s voters to replace him as a candidate, since the former president is Disabled until 2030. The former president, who risks a long prison sentence, now has the last word on who will face Lula in the presidential ones. But it does not show a hurry to decide.
Freitas’ declaration – in Brazil they know as Tarcisio – was at the request of the defense of Bolsonaro and short, less than 10 minutes. The man who entered the Bolsonaro radar almost by chance in 2018, when he had won the elections and sought ministers, expressed himself categorically. “When I was with the president (Bolsonaro) in this final stretch (of his government), November and December, in the visits I made, in different conversations, he never touched this problem, he never mentioned any attempt to break,” he replied. Apart from the lawyer of the former president, no other lawyer, nor the investigative judge, Alexandre de Moares –At the sight of the United States-, not even the attorney general, Paulo Gonet, asked him anything, according to the Brazilian press.
The governor stressed that in that period – the two months from the electoral defeat on the contrary presidential – saw a “sad and discharged” Bolsonaro.

A raising of 12% of Brazilian agricultural sector In the first quarter of 2025 he promoted the growth of the economy, therefore the increase in GDP was 1.4%, as reported on Friday the Brazilian statistical institute Ibge. The result triggered the dollar with respect to reality.
Neither the judicial problems of Bolsonaro, nor the march of the economy promoted the popularity of President Lula. On the contrary. Him discontent with the president Exceeds 53%, with an increase of eight points since the beginning of the year reached the equator of its mandate.
The government is bogged down in a strong internal controversy and with the congress on the measures to be taken to square public accounts and respect the spending limit. In the meantime, both the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, in which Lula’s allies are a minority, increase the pressure to stop the government’s agenda with, for example, a project to dismantle the environmental licenses that grant the system.
