“I trust that the laws of the country will be respected during the government of the President Javier Miley whom I admire, and I also count on the excellence of the new Chancellor, Gerardo Werthein,” he wrote this Saturday Eduardo Bolsonaro Brazilian deputy and third son of Javier, former president of the neighboring country. He did it on his X account, and regarding the arrest of two fugitives from Brazilian justice accused of taking over the Planalto and other institutions, in a coup attempt at the inauguration of Lula Da Silva.
Joelton Gusmao de Oliveira (47) and Rodrigo de Freitas Moro Ramalho (34) were the two arrested, both in La Plataof the 61 that the Argentine justice ordered to capture, at the request of their Brazilian counterpart. Bolsonaro, on behalf of the party opposing Lula, treated the two of them and the rest this Saturday as “political asylum seekers”.
“It is with great regret that I learned of the arrest of political exiles in Argentina. Unfortunately, They were arrested despite having a request for political asylumwhich grants legal protection against any extradition attempt by the Brazilian State,” began his post by X Bolsonaro, who is also Secretary of Institutional and International Relations of the Liberal Party of Brazil.
And he pointed cagainst Judge Daniel Rafecas: “It appears that the arrest was carried out illegalby a judge linked to the Argentine radical left. However, at least there, the totalitarian state is not as advanced as in Brazil and there are still institutional tools to prevent this type of abuse of authority.”
Although it was flattering with Milei and with WertheinEduardo Bolsonaro left him a message to the Government and he urged his Argentine counterparts to treat their compatriots well, who participated in the takeover of the Planalto Palace, the Executive building in Brasilia, when the current president of Brazil took office after having defeated Jair Bolsonaro at the polls.
Bolsonaro Jr. wrote. in his statement uploaded to networks: “I firmly believe that These Brazilians will not have their rights violated in Argentina. We will not see the elderly, mothers, people with special needs and all kinds of ordinary people –madly accused of attempted coup d’étatdue to the tyranny that prevails in Brazil – being deported by the Argentine government.
And he delved into geopolitical issues to argue his point: “Just as the global left united to create a totalitarian international system of persecution, We, on the right, unite to stop this tyranny and create an international system to defend human freedoms. Today, thanks to the international work that we all did, we have already managed to raise awareness in free countries.”

“Everyone already knows that Brazil is a systematic violator of human freedoms more basic. Today, the free world can already realize that the public authorities of Brazil have as much credit as the public authorities of Venezuela, Cuba o Nicaraguaperverse autocratic dictatorial regimes”, paralleled Lula’s government.
And in pursuit of a political embrace that will twist the fate of the Bolsonaro militants who fled to Argentina, Eduardo Bolsonaro insisted with arguments about “the crazy narrative, which tries to transform ordinary people into dangerous threats to the rule of law” that ” will not go beyond the event horizon of radical militancy in the editorials submissive to the extreme left“.
Brazilian justice required the arrest of 61 Brazilians
The Argentine justice system ordered the arrest of 61 Brazilian citizens who are in Argentina and have a request for extradition by the attack on the three public powers of Brazil perpetrated in 2023.
The arrest order was issued by Judge Daniel Rafecas at the request of the Superior Court of Justice of Brazil and covers 61 Brazilian citizens, who are in Argentina and have “convictions with final sentences to effective prison terms“added the source.
On January 8, 2023, thousands of followers of former president Jair Bolsonaro invaded the presidential palace, and the headquarters of Congress and the supreme court, demanding the intervention of the Armed Forces to depose Lula and denouncing alleged fraud in the elections.
Brazilian police arrested hundreds of alleged perpetrators, financiers and instigators of these assaults and on June 10 of this year, reported that had asked Argentina for help to locate the possible presence of more than 140 fugitives of the assault in the country.
