Who is Jair Bolsonaro ?

Bolsonaro is a candidate for the presidency of the Republic of Brazil and always appears first in the intentions of votes in all Brazilian states, after former President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva was declared ineligible.

Born on March 21st, 1955 in the city of Campinas in São Paulo, Jair Mesias Bolsonaro is captain of the Brazilian Army Reserve and Federal deputy for Rio de Janeiro in his seventh term.

The controversial Federal Deputy is known for his nationalist discourse, conservative right, defender of family values and more severe punishment of the criminals.

Descendant of Italians Bolsonaro is the son of Perci Geraldo Bolsonaro and Olinda Bonturi.

Politics

The political career of Jair Mesias Bolsonaro began in 1988 when he was elected councilor for the city of Rio de Janeiro, at the time by the Christian Democratic Party (PDC).

Already in 1990, due to his performance as a municipal parliamentarian, he was elected a Federal Deputy by the PDC.

In 1993 Jair Bolsonaro was one of the founders of the Progressive Party (PPR) that merged two parties the PDC and PDS.

Bolsonaro was reelected in 1994 and already in 1995 he joined the Brazilian Progressive Party (PPB).

In the year 2002 for the fourth time a federal deputy, the deputy left his former PPB party and joined the Brazilian Labor Party (PTB). Shortly after the deputy leaves the PTB and migrates to the late Liberal Front Party (PFL).


In his parliamentary mandates, he stood out in the fight against child erotization in schools and for a greater disciplinary rigor in these establishments, for the reduction of the criminal age, for citizen's armament and the right to self-defense, for legal security in policing and for Christian values.

Political Proposals

Among all the proposals of Jair Mesias Bolsonaro, we can find the following:

Privatizations

One of the main intentions of Jair Bolsonaro is to make a program of privatizations in Brazil.



Labour Reform

He voted in favor of the proposal in the Chamber of Deputies. He already informed in interviews that it would be better for the worker to have more employment than more benefits.

Public Security

This is one of the strengths of Bolsonaro's candidacy, that is, it aims to fight crime, aims to make the hardening of criminal laws and give more strength to the police.

Attack to Bolsonaro

On September 6th, 2018, Jair Bolsonaro was stabbed in the abdomen at the time he was in the middle of a crowd campaigning in the mining town of Juiz de Fora. Bolsonaro was taken to the Casa de Misericordia, where he underwent surgery. The blade reached the small intestine and the large intestine. After the surgery, Bolsonaro was transferred to the Albert Einstein Hospital in São Paulo. On Sep 13th, after being diagnosed with adherence in the intestine, Bolsonaro underwent emergency surgery and is in recovery. The aggressor was arrested and taken to the Federal Police to give clarifications.

The Candidates with the Highest Possibilities

Fernando Haddad will obtain the votes of who, opposed with a male chauvinist, racist and homophobic Bolsonaro finds in the candidate of the left the only way that Bolsonaro does not come to power.

Jair Bolsonaro will get the votes of who, fearing that Brazil approaches the Venezuelan model and the Workers' Party retakes the power that allowed him to empty the State, find in the "Donald Trump without money", the option to avoid including the former President Lula da Silva is not only pardoned as he could end up as Chief of Staff in a possible presidency of Haddad.


Results of the Presidential Elections - First Round (Oct 7th 2018)

The candidate of the right has capitalized on the dissatisfaction of the Brazilians with a radical discourse that his detractors claim to be racist, homophobic and misogynist. Today is the favorite to win the second round.
