Bolsonaro Attacks Pro-Democracy Letter again in Meeting with Bankers
President also criticizes Lula's adherence to the manifesto and says he will not sign 'the little letter'
In a meeting with major banks this Monday (8), President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) once again attacked the manifesto in defense of democracy, which should be read at the USP ( University of São Paulo) Law School this Thursday (11). Addressing bankers, the president said: "You have to look me in the face, see my actions, and judge me from that." "I will not sign any little letter" he added.
On Monday, the Chief Executive took part in a meeting with Febraban (Brazilian Federation of Banks) and CNF (National Confederation of Financial Institutions) in São Paulo.
Febraban is one of the institutions that decided to sign the manifesto organized by civil society entities in defense of democracy.
Bolsonaro also defended the participation of the Armed Forces in the discussions on the electoral process. "If the Armed Forces were invited to participate in the Elections Transparency Commission and presented suggestions, let the technical teams discuss. Maybe the Armed Forces are wrong? But do not refuse this approach and this conversation", said the president.
