In a demonstration through a note sent by the Federal Public Ministry (MPF), prosecutors also said that Bolsonaro’s speech “reinforces the perception of the absence of an effective commitment to strengthening mechanisms to combat corruption.” They also mentioned that they face “powerful forces in the opposite direction.”
In the speech this Wednesday (7) at the Planalto Palace, the president had said:
“It is a pride, it is a satisfaction that I have, to tell this wonderful press that I do not want to end Lava Jato. I finished with Lava Jato, because there is no more corruption in the government. I know this is not a virtue, it is an obligation. ”
Bolsonaro gave the statement at a ceremony on measures for civil aviation, while praising the management itself, in which, according to him, people are trustworthy and there is no interest in “making it difficult to sell facilities.”
