Bolsonaro brothers request Italian citizenship at Embassy
Senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL, right) and Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL, right) asked this Tuesday (Nov. 8) for the Italian Embassy in Brasilia to advance the process of obtaining their citizenships in the country.
Flávio’s team confirmed the information to Poder360.
A note written by the Senator informs that the request, in his case, came about because Flávio’s family is of Italian origin.
“I have the right to apply for Italian citizenship, which began to be dealt with in September 2019″, the Senator says.
Jair Bolsonaro was not mentioned
The Senator also said he has no plans to leave the country, will continue in his position as Senator for the next four years, and intends to run for re-election.
Here is the full note sent by the Senator’s staff:
“My family is of Italian origin, and I am entitled to apply for Italian citizenship, which began to be dealt with in September 2019.”
“I am a senator of the Republic for another four years; I intend to run for re-election, and, before you start creating miraculous theses, leaving the country is not an option for me!”
