– If the governor says he will not comply, the Office of the Attorney General, the Ministry of Justice, will take the necessary measures – the president told reporters when he arrived at the Alvorada Palace.
Bolsonaro argued that governors who decide to block essential activities would, in practice, be violating a federal rule. – If there is a violation, the AGU will endeavor, perhaps with the judicial sphere, so that that governor complies with the decree – he said.
The president said he could further expand the list of essential services. – If you have a suggestion for a new profession that is considered essential, we study it and decide. A decree is fast, “he said.

For Bolsonaro, the decree that classifies manicure, beauty salon, hairdressing and gym services as essential will help “very humble people” to return to work and others to “de-stress” when they practice physical activities.
In the president’s opinion, although they cannot ignore the decree, the governors can challenge it. – When any of us thinks that a law is exaggerated, there are two ways: that of Justice and that of Parliament. In case of decree, [a alternativa] It is called a “legislative decree” so that the decree is null and void, he said.
– I appeal to the governors. I recognize the theme of life, which is important. I regret every life that passes, but unemployment kills. Now there is a governor, from São Paulo, who said that the confinement is better than the burial. Not so, not so much to the sea, not so much to the rock. It is the middle ground, you have to deal with both problems – Bolsonaro said, adding – I am seeing a blocking threat, this is absurd, inadmissible. People want to work.
The president said again that he is concerned about unemployment. – Unemployment comes galloping, in formal jobs. It is useless to simply open industrial activities, as I did, that can produce for export, but for domestic consumption, at the end of the line, there will be no open trade to sell products – he said
Bolsonaro downplayed the publication of the decree without first consulting with Health Minister Nelson Teich, since deciding on the extent of isolation is not an agency attribution. For the president, “it is too early” to analyze his performance at the head of the portfolio, which found a “complicated situation”.
