Jair Bolsonaro was one of the special guests of the Conservative Action Political Conference (CPAC), a large political summit organized by the American Conservative Union which is headquartered in National Harbor, Maryland.
CPAC brings together more than 100 organizations and political leaders since 2010 and is supported by space sponsors Human Events, Young America”s Foundation, and the National Rifle Association.
This year’s star guest was the former president of Donald Trump who used the space to push his presidential candidacy for the 2024 general elections. His narrative continues to be the denunciation of the alleged electoral fraud he suffered in 2020 when it was defeated by Joe Biden and he pressured the entire Republican leadership, including governors and presidential candidates such as Nikki Halley or Ron De Santis, who were absent at the meeting. “If we don’t manage to advance that change, we will have to play in the left field of vote by mail,” he said.
In this land of freedom, progress and order, I feel like I am in Brazil. It is very comforting to be received like this in Brazil and anywhere in the world. I am the most beloved ex-president of Brazil.
Trump had a very strong gesture of support for Bolsonaro when in full speech he claimed his “fight against electronic voting fraud” and rated it as “a very popular leader of South America”. In his turn, Bolsonaro ironized that “In the 2022 election I had more support than in 2018 but I don’t know why the numbers showed otherwise.”
“In this land of freedom, progress and order, I feel like I am in Brazil. It is very comforting to be received like this in Brazil and anywhere in the world. I am the most beloved former president of Brazil,” he emphasized.
The Brazilian leader thanked God for the mission of having given him the mission of having governed Brazil for one mandate but clarified thate “the mission is not over, leaving the door open for an eventual application in 2024. His intentions to continue in politics had been expressed in an act last month in Florida and could motivate a new candidacy for Lula, as LPO announced.
