Jair Bolsonaro sets March 29 for his return to Brazil

The former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has again announced another date for his hypothetical return to Brazil, on March 29.

However, he explained that, as he has been doing so far, he is reserving the previous week to decide according to “the situation in Brazil”.

In an event with Brazilian businessmen held in Florida, where he has been since the end of December 2022, Bolsonaro explained that although he has “always” set a return date since he has been in the United States, seven days before he studies with his people “the situation in Brazil” and that of his “contacts”.

The event was attended by his wife, Michelle, who landed on Tuesday in the United States, where, according to Bolsonaro, he will stay for the next “four or five days”.

At the same time, he has taken the opportunity to deny some rumors and has affirmed that she “will not be a candidate for the Executive”, reports the newspaper ‘O Globo’.

Bolsonaro has been in the United States since last December 30, thus avoiding having to hand over the presidential sash to Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva.

Michelle returned last January 26. However, he has been extending his stay in the North American country.
