Brazil: Bolsonaro calls for review of travel ban to US

Brasilia, Jan 17 (Prensa Latina) Jair Bolsonaro’s defense asked to review the decision of Minister Alexandre de Moraes of the Supreme Court, which denied the former Brazilian president’s trip to the United States for Donald Trump’s inauguration, it was confirmed.

Defense lawyers argue that the desire to travel cannot be interpreted as an indication that Bolsonaro intends to flee, “insofar as (the former president) has already demonstrated, concretely and objectively, his intention to remain in Brazil when he returned from Argentina and the United States.”

According to the legal staff of the former president, the determination must be examined, because some of its assumptions either do not fit the reality or do not serve as a basis for preventing the punctual trip.

In his ruling, De Moraes stated that the deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro, the son of the ex-military, has given “support to the illegal evasion of the national territory and defense of the clandestine stay abroad, especially in Argentina, to avoid the application of the law and of the judicial decisions taken in firm.”

The Attorney General of the Republic, Paulo Gonet, also demonstrated on Wednesday against the request to return the passport to Bolsonaro and therefore his trip to the inauguration of Trump, scheduled for January 20.
