RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Jair Bolsonaro‘s government has classified the information on the record of visitors entering and leaving the “Palácio da Alvorada” and the “Palácio do Jaburu” as “restricted”.
As a result, data on those entering and leaving the official premises where the president and vice president reside will remain confidential for five years.
These data used to be unrestrictedly disclosed until Odebrecht and JBS denunciations exploded.
At that time, between May and April 2017, the government of then-president Michel Temer decided to classify the information after a request for clarification from the newspaper O Globo.
It was therefore not possible to verify the famous visit by Joesley Batista, for instance, in which former president Temer was taped discussing the attempt to buy former federal deputy and former president of the Chamber of Deputies, Eduardo Cunha‘s silence.
