Bolsonaro was born in the municipality of Glicério in São Paulo. He is of Italian descent. Bolsonaro served in Brazil's military from 1971 to 1988, graduating from Agulhas Negras Military Academy in 1977. Afterward, he served in [[Rio de Janeiro]]'s city council from 1989 to 1991, and in Brazil's congress starting in 1991.

Jair Bolsonaro is the father of five sons. Flávio, Carlos and Eduardo, who were, respectively, elected as senator for the state of Rio de Janeiro, city councilman in the city of Rio de Janeiro, and federal deputy for the state of São Paulo, the latter winning his second mandate with the largest vote in the country - 1.8 million votes, a record for a dispute for the Federal Chamber. He is also the father of Renan and Laura.
  
 
Bolsonaro has changed parties several times in his career, something not unusual considering the large number of parties in Brazil, along with the fact that conservative parties in the country tend to be weak. He was a member of the [[Progressive Party (Brazil)|Progressive Party]]. The most leftist members of that party usually classify it as a ''PSNN'' (''Progressista Só No Nome'' - ''[[Progressive]] In Name Only'', ''PLINO''). In March 2016, he left PP to join [[Social Christian Party]], and he later joined the [[Social Liberal Party]]. All of these parties are conservative or conservative-leaning despite their names.

During the voting of the Dilma Rousseff in the Congress, on April 17, 2016, Bolsonaro dedicated his vote to [[Brilhante Ustra]], the only militair that was declared by the Justice as a "torturer", and who allegedly was the torturer of Rousseff in the 1970s.

Bolsonaro said that with physical ballots he wouldn't have questions about the voting system, and that the military should watch the voting process. "Accepting proposals from the Armed Forces, the chances of fraud are close to zero. If you have a security system for your home, will you accept it or not? Why don't other countries adopt this system? Can we no longer question? […] Where will this authoritarian escalation go? […] Clean and transparent elections should not be questioned anywhere. How much do I trust from 0 to 10 in the polls? I trust '10' in Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, France, which is the vote on paper. For the rest, we have to be concerned. […] I initially supported the electronic vote, then the printed vote. […] Parliamentarians like Simone Tebet, Roberto Requião, Ciro Gomes have already defended a printed vote. Now, am I wrong? I want transparency" said the President.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.metropoles.com/brasil/eleicoes-2022/bolsonaro-volta-a-questionar-seguranca-da-urna-escalada-autoritaria|title=Bolsonaro volta a questionar segurança da urna: “Escalada autoritária”|publisher=Metrópoles|date=September 6, 2022|language=pt}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://apnews.com/article/noticias-d042b05ba18de9765185ac3b27c61967|publisher=AP News|date=September 6, 2022|language=es|title=Bolsonaro alimenta dudas sobre sistema electoral brasileño}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.elmundo.es/internacional/2021/08/06/610d554ae4d4d8440b8b462a.html|title=Bolsonaro denuncia "fraude" en el voto electrónico de cara a las elecciones de 2022|date=September 6, 2022|publisher=El Mundo|language=es}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.infobae.com/america/america-latina/2021/08/03/bolsonaro-insistio-en-que-el-voto-electronico-hara-que-brasil-siga-el-rumbo-de-venezuela-y-argentina/|title=Bolsonaro insistió en que el voto electrónico hará que Brasil siga el rumbo de Venezuela y Argentina|date=August 3, 2022|language=es|publisher=Infobae}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.elobservador.com.uy/nota/desaconsejan-el-voto-electronico-y-plantean-que-corte-electoral-debe-acelerar-resultados-202210175034|title=Investigación desaconseja el voto electrónico y plantea que Corte Electoral debe acelerar procesamiento de resultados|publisher=El Observador (Uruguay)|language=es|date=October 17, 2022}}</ref>

On November 1, 2022, almost two days after the results were shown, Bolsonaro said "I want to begin by thanking the 58 million Brazilians who voted for me. The acts of popular movement are the result of indignation and feelings of injustice about how the electoral process was conducted. Peaceful demonstrations will always be welcome, but the methods cannot be those of the left, which always preached the invasion of property, the destruction of patrimony. The right really emerged in our country, our robust representation in Congress shows the strength of our values, God, country, family and freedom. Our dream is more alive than ever, we are for order and progress. Even facing the whole system we overcame a pandemic and the consequences of a war. I have always been labeled as antidemocratic and unlike my accusers I have always played within the four lines of the constitution. I have never spoken of controlling or censoring the media or social networks. As president of the Republic and as a citizen I will continue to fulfill all the commandments of our Constitution. It is an honor to be the leader of millions of Brazilians who, like me, defend the economic freedom, religious freedom, freedom of opinion, honesty, and the GREEN and YELLOW colors of our flag. Thank you very much."

The main argument is that in all machines from to 2020 (audited) had more votes for Bolsonaro, while the machines made prior to the 2020 (non-audited, 2015 or prior) model have significantly less votes, the machines were compared in the same voting locations, explaining that neighbors that tend to vote similarly change the pattern in the base of the machines, something very unusual and that suggests human manipulation of electronic ballot machines.

While several international media predicted a catastrophe of crime and murders, Brazil proved that more weapons and more spending on security means fewer deaths. According to official data for 2021 published by government statistics agencies, the homicide rate has fallen to the lowest number in 15 years.
 +
 
 +
Since January 1, 2019, the day Bolsonaro arrived in Brasília, homicides have fallen 34% to 18.5 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. These numbers imply that in his 4 years in office, the right-wing president's measures have saved more than 20,000 lives that would have been killed by crime.
 +
 
 +
According to official data, in 2018, there were 55,980 homicides in Brazil, before Bolsonaro came to power. After his first year in the Palácio do Planalto, this number dropped to 45,503 homicides, exactly 10,477 homicides less.
 +
 
 +
In 2020, the number managed to stay at the same level, with about 47,722 homicides, about 8,258 homicides less than before he came to power. In 2021, the number fell again, and only 41,069 homicides were recorded, the lowest number since 2007. This number was 14,911 homicides less than during Temer's government.
 +
 
 +
This 2022 is not yet over, but it is estimated that for the first time since the 1990s there will be less than 40,000 homicides, a country where violence and criminality dominated the last 20 years of Brazilian life.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://derechadiario.com.ar/latinoamerica/latinoamerica_brasil/las-medidas-de-seguridad-de-bolsonaro-salvaron-mas-de-20-000-vidas-desde-su-llegada-a-la-presidencia-en-brasil|title=Las medidas de seguridad de Bolsonaro salvaron más de 20.000 vidas desde su llegada a la presidencia en Brasil|publisher=La Derecha Diario|date=October 28, 2022|language=es}}</ref>

Unemployment rate fell to 8.7% in September and is the lowest in almost 10 years
 +
 
 +
The number of unemployed people in Brazil fell by 4 million so far this year, and by 621,000 at the end of the third quarter. The employed population rose to the highest values in history and the unemployment rate fell by almost 4 percentage points since Bolsonaro took office.
 +
 
 +
The economic program promoted by President Jair Bolsonaro and Economy Minister Paulo Guedes continues to yield optimistic results on the labor market. The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) confirmed that the unemployment rate fell to 8.7% in the mobile quarter ended in September.
 +
 
 +
The original series of the unemployment indicator showed a sharp decline compared to the 9.3% recorded in the moving quarter between April and July. Likewise, unemployment fell by 3.9% compared to the same quarter of 2021, when it reached 12.6% of the labor force.
 +
 
 +
The lowest unemployment figures recorded since the third quarter of 2015 were observed. The seasonally adjusted series of the indicator, once the cyclical fluctuations of the product are discounted, marked a rate of up to 8.74% for the end of September. Again, this figure is the lowest recorded since July 2015.
 +
 
 +
In the Bolsonaro administration, seasonally adjusted unemployment accumulated a drop of 3.7 percentage points, compared to the level in January 2019. The Brazilian labor market was on its way to recovering all the ground lost after the severe economic and financial crisis inherited from the last PT administration under Dilma Rousseff.
 +
 
 +
The number of people looking for work but unable to find it totaled up to 9.5 million in the month of September. This record represents a decrease of 621,000 people compared to the previous mobile quarter, and a drop of up to 4,000,000 so far in 2022 (representing a sharp drop of 29.7% in 10 months) as officially confirmed by IBGE.
 +
 
 +
The employed population (both in the formal sector of the economy and in the unregistered sector) amounted to 99.3 million people in September. This is a historical record for the country, since the beginning of the measurement of the IBGE indicator in March 2012.
 +
 
 +
The annual comparison of the employed population shows that up to 6.3 million jobs were created in Brazil in the last 12 months, and 1 million jobs were added during the last quarterly variation.
 +
 
 +
Despite the economic recovery that the country has been experiencing since the second quarter of 2016, the relationship between increases in GDP and increases in employment had not been as dynamic as it is today.
 +
 
 +
The difference with respect to previous periods is explained by Bolsonaro's labor policy, in favor of allowing greater regulatory flexibility to promote employment in those sectors that most need work, among them the younger age segment and those people with a longer duration being unemployed.
 +
 
 +
Bolsonaro's labor reform takes on a preponderant role in the recovery of the labor market. The PRIORE and REQUIP programs, which inaugurated more flexible contracts that encouraged hiring in the formal sector of the economy.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://derechadiario.com.ar/economia/brasil-trabaja-la-tasa-de-desocupacion-cayo-al-87-en-septiembre-y-es-la-mas-baja-en-casi-10-anos|title=Brasil Trabaja: La tasa de desocupación cayó al 8,7% en septiembre y es la más baja en casi 10 años|date=October 28, 2022|publisher=La Derecha Diario|language=es}}</ref> Bolsonaro did more using less. This is efficiency.
 +
 
 +
Bolsonaro reduced public charges and reduced the ministries.
 +
He prioritized technical appointments in technical areas. And he delivered much more than the previous ones.
 +
 
 +
- He eliminated approximately 90,000 positions and functions in the Federal Administration by decree (each power is independent from each other to take such actions).
 +
 
 +
- In 2019, 64,527 positions were abolished. In 2020, 21,369. In 2021, 6,377.
 +
- Savings of R$ 867 million per year with the reduction of positions are estimated.
 +
- Technical appointments in technical areas, at all levels.
 +
- He put an end to the culture of merely political appointments in technical areas.
 +
- His government greatly reduced spending and increased efficiency.
 +
- With all this, he was able to help states and municipalities with billions of reais in transfers, help millions of Brazilians with the Emergency Aid, and keep millions of companies running.
 +
 
 +
Sponsorship and advertising:
 +
 
 +
- Savings on big sponsorships, focus on those in need.
 +
- Since 2019, the Federal Government cut sponsorships for large companies and changed the management of resources in several modalities.
 +
- The result: savings of R$ 644.5 million.
 +
- The money was destined to those who need it most.
 +
 
 +
Surplus in the public accounts:
 +
 
 +
- He started the Government with a deficit of R$ 25.1 billion in the public accounts. That is, the accounts of the Federal Government and state-owned companies.
 +
 
 +
- In 2019. the deficit was smaller: R$18.6 billion.
 +
- 2020 had the plandemic, so everyone went back into debt. It was a deficit of R$23.6 billion. But still smaller than in 2018.
 +
- In 2021, Brazil already had a surplus of R$ 4.9 billion.
 +
- From January to June of 2022, the primary result of the Union's accounts was positive in R$ 53.6 billion.
 +
 
 +
- Now in July, the Federal Government has already recorded a primary surplus of R$ 14.4 billion. The best result for the months of June since the beginning of the historical series. IN 1997.<ref>[https://t.me/jairbolsonarobrasil/4890]</ref>

In 2019 there were fires on the Amazon, the mainstream media said it was because of Bolsonaro's presidency, but in reality the fires started in [[Evo Morales]]'s [[Bolivia]].<ref name=AmazonBolivia>{{cite web|url=https://www.libremercado.com/2019-09-21/el-desastre-ecologico-que-calla-la-izquierda-asi-arde-la-amazonia-en-la-bolivia-de-evo-morales-1276644920/|title=El desastre ecológico que calla la izquierda: así arde la Amazonía en la Bolivia de Evo Morales|publisher=Libre Mercado|language=es|date=September 21, 2019}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.libertaddigital.com/internacional/latinoamerica/2019-08-29/los-incendios-del-amazonas-en-brasil-entre-el-alarmismo-la-hipocresia-y-la-agitacion-politica-1276643857/|title=Los incendios del Amazonas en Brasil: entre el alarmismo, la hipocresía y la agitación política|language=es|publisher=Libertad Digital|date=Augusto 29, 2019}}</ref> the worst records of fires in the country's Amazon forests took place under Lula da Silva's government, but at the time there was no reproach against the government of the socialist leader. On the other hand, it has come to light that the bulk of the money dedicated, in theory, to conserve and protect the Amazon has ended up, in reality, in the salaries and per diems of the NGOs involved.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.libremercado.com/2019-09-11/bolsonaro-avisa-hasta-el-70-del-gasto-de-las-ongs-del-amazonas-va-a-pagar-sueldos-1276644346/|title=Bolsonaro avisa: hasta el 70% del gasto de las ONG del Amazonas va a pagar sueldos|date=September 11, 2019|publisher=Libre Mercado|language=es}}</ref> While journalists and leftist politicians talked about Bolsonaro and the fires in the Brazilian Amazon, the attention devoted to what is happening in the jungle and forests of Bolivia was practically marginal worldwide. All this despite the fact that the bulk of the fires that have reached Brazil came precisely from Bolivian soil, as accredited by the data offered by NASA. In the Bolivian case, the political implications of the fires are more than evident, since the government of the socialist Evo Morales approved last July 9 a decree allowing the burning of forests in the departments of Beni and Santa Cruz, the focus of the fires that ended up spreading to Brazil. The Bolivian government spoke of "controlled burnings" which, in practice, ended up being carried out without effective control by public institutions.<ref name=AmazonBolivia/><ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.infobae.com/america/opinion/2019/09/15/bolivia-dos-y-medio-millones-de-hectareas-devastadas-y-el-ecocidio-continua/#2INOYQDE6RBXNOTR72A2X7HJZY|title=Bolivia, dos y medio millones de hectáreas devastadas y el ecocidio continúa|date=September 15, 2019|language=es|publisher=Infobae}}</ref>

Bolsonaro also responsabiliced the Globalist NGOs for spreading fire to create a crisis against him saying "The Indians, do you want me to blame the Indians, do you want me to blame the Martians...? Everyone is a suspect, but the biggest suspects are the NGOs. […] There may be, yes, and I am not asserting, a criminal action of these 'oenegeros' to draw attention against me, against the Brazilian government, and that is the war we are facing. […] The fire appeared in strategic places. There are images of the entire Amazon, from what everything indicates, there were those who went to film and make fire. That is my feeling" He removed all aid for them for representing foreign interests and not the Brazilian ones.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.eldiario.es/internacional/amazonia-llamas-bolsonaro-insinua-ong_1_1390079.html|title=La Amazonía está en llamas y Bolsonaro insinúa que la culpa es de las ONG|date=Augusto 22, 2019|publisher=El Diario|language=es}}</ref>

President Bolsonaro also made clear his intention to extract resources from the region writing "With the war between Russia and Ukraine, we now run the risk of running out of potassium or of its price increasing", he has being criticized because legally a lot of lands in the region is considered "Indigenous land". In 2020 a draft law was introduced to allow government to permit the extraction of minerals, water and organic resources from the lands.

Jair Messias Bolsonaro (born March 21, 1955, Glicério, São Paulo, Brazil) was the president of Brazil from 2019 to 2022 until defeated in a disputed election. He is a strongly conservative and anti-establishment[1][2][3][4] former congressman and retired army captain. He often invokes God in his speeches, and is known as the "Trump of the Tropics."[5]

Under his leadership, conservatives made record gains in winning legislative seats through the 2022 election:

Bolsonaro’s Liberal Party gave Brazil’s far right its best-ever election night outcome since the country’s return to democracy nearly four decades ago. It won 99 seats in the lower house of Brazil’s Congress, 23 more than in 2017.[6]

He supports the right of all non-criminals to own firearms and proposed this as one of his first initiatives upon taking the office of president. One of his favorite expressions is "combater o lixo marxista," which means "fight the marxist garbage."[7]

Personal gun registration soared almost 500% under Bolsonaro's government.[8] Brazil was an economic success having deflation while other countries had the opposite. Security grew under the conservative president, Bolsonaro is a great defender of economic and social freedom, he stopped the Sao Paulo Forum and recovered Brazilian national pride. He defended Brazilian sovereignty over the most of the Amazon against globalists like Leonardo Di Caprio and Emmanuel Macron that wanted to globalize the region.

Life and career

Bolsonaro's third wife, Michelle, is evangelical.

Bolsonaro was born in the municipality of Glicério in São Paulo. He is of Italian descent. Bolsonaro served in Brazil's military from 1971 to 1988, graduating from Agulhas Negras Military Academy in 1977. Afterward, he served in Rio de Janeiro's city council from 1989 to 1991, and in Brazil's congress starting in 1991.

Jair Bolsonaro is the father of five sons. Flávio, Carlos and Eduardo, who were, respectively, elected as senator for the state of Rio de Janeiro, city councilman in the city of Rio de Janeiro, and federal deputy for the state of São Paulo, the latter winning his second mandate with the largest vote in the country - 1.8 million votes, a record for a dispute for the Federal Chamber. He is also the father of Renan and Laura.

Bolsonaro has changed parties several times in his career, something not unusual considering the large number of parties in Brazil, along with the fact that conservative parties in the country tend to be weak. He was a member of the Progressive Party. The most leftist members of that party usually classify it as a PSNN (Progressista Só No Nome - Progressive In Name Only, PLINO). In March 2016, he left PP to join Social Christian Party, and he later joined the Social Liberal Party. All of these parties are conservative or conservative-leaning despite their names.

During the voting of the Dilma Rousseff in the Congress, on April 17, 2016, Bolsonaro dedicated his vote to Brilhante Ustra, the only military that was declared by the Justice as a "torturer", and who allegedly was the torturer of Rousseff in the 1970s. Jean Wyllys, after he voted, spat on Bolsonaro.[9]

2018 presidential election

Results of the 2nd round of the 2018 presidential election
Classic Bolsonaro meme from 2018.

Bolsonaro successfully ran for the Brazilian presidency in 2018.[10] He tried in 2014, but the leaders of his party decided to support the Marxist government of Dilma Rousseff. Among the presidential proposals, Bolsonaro called for closing unnecessary ministries (such as Ministry of Finance, which keeps the government in control of the economy, and the Defense Ministry, which creates military subordination to political), the reduction of state in all its spheres, the free market, homeschooling, the neutral point of view in schools, private health, pro-gun rights,[3][11] the prohibition of same-sex "marriage" and abortion. He also ran on a strong anti-corruption program.[3][12][13][14][15][16]

During the 2018 election campaign on September 16, Bolsonaro survived an attempted assassination attempt, being stabbed.[17]

Bolsonaro won 46% of the vote in the election's first round, significantly better than polls predicted and less than four percentage points to winning the election outright.[18] His party performed very well in the congressional and gubernatorial elections held the same day.[19] Bolsonaro's campaign had strong momentum going into the runoff,[20] and he received strong support from evangelical Christians.[21]

Bolsonaro won the election runoff with about 55% of the vote, marking a major shift in Brazilian[2][22] and Latin American[23] politics. He was congratulated by U.S. President Donald Trump[24] and Italian Deputy Prime Minister Matteo Salvini,[25] among others. According to Brazilian professor Dawisson Belém Lopes, Brazil had elected "the most right wing leader of any democracy in the world."[26]

2022 presidential election

Bolsonaro was described as a top target of the Left heading into his 2022 re-election campaign.[27] The official results showed that former Socialist President, Lula da Silva won against Bolsonaro in the first round that was held on October 2, both candidates passed to the second round of October 30 in which the results also flipped in favor of Lula. President Bolsonaro picked general Walter Souza Braga Netto as Vicepresident candidate.[28] President Trump supported Bolsonaro in the election affirming that "has done a great job for the wonderful people of Brazil."[29] and that Bolsonaro will "never let you down" as well as that he is respected worldwide.

During the campaign, the Bicentennial of the Independence of Brazil happen.[30][31] Neymar football player supported Bolsonaro.

Alexandre de Morães, President of the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE).

The Supreme Electoral Court censored (in colaboration with Big Tech)[32] a lot of posts in support of President Bolsonaro in Social Media, alleging "Fake News" against Lula when calling him corrupt. The main counterweight to the power of President Jair Bolsonaro was the Supreme Federal Court of Brazil. Now many fear that the organism will become a threat.[33] The Supreme Electoral Court President, Alexandre de Morães, ordered the arrest of a conservative congressman, Daniel Silveira, center, after Silveira criticized Morães and other court judges.[34]

In both rounds of the election Bolsonaro started winning in the counting of the votes until the end in which the results started favoring Lula (very similar to what happend in the United States in 2020).[35][36][37] The voting system in Brazil is totally electronic since 1996[38] with machines and not physical ballots, President Bolsonaro tried to reform it but the Judicial System blocked the reform alleging it wasn't possible to implement and the Congress supported it with 229 votes in favor against 218 against but that wasn't enough to reform the Constitution.[39][40][41]

Communications Minister Fábio Faria said that 154,085 paid radio campaign ads for Bolsonaro were not broadcast in Brazil from October 7-21, 2022.[42] In Brazil the institution that organizes elections is run by the Judicial Branch that has many judges introduced by the Worker's Party (PT).

Bolsonaro said that with physical ballots he wouldn't have questions about the voting system, and that the military should watch the voting process. "Accepting proposals from the Armed Forces, the chances of fraud are close to zero. If you have a security system for your home, will you accept it or not? Why don't other countries adopt this system? Can we no longer question? […] Where will this authoritarian escalation go? […] Clean and transparent elections should not be questioned anywhere. How much do I trust from 0 to 10 in the polls? I trust '10' in Paraguay, Colombia, Chile, France, which is the vote on paper. For the rest, we have to be concerned. […] I initially supported the electronic vote, then the printed vote. […] Parliamentarians like Simone Tebet, Roberto Requião, Ciro Gomes have already defended a printed vote. Now, am I wrong? I want transparency" said the President.[43][44][45][46][47]

They did the same thing to Jair Bolsonaro as to Keiko Fujimori in Peru in 2016, where they both obtained a parliamentary majority but lost the Presidency. Bolsonaro's candidates won important State governorships such as Sao Paulo.[48]

An statistic anomaly with a chance of 0% occurred on the difference of the votes between both candidates, when the difference was normal at first, since the 70% every update only added more votes to Lula than to Bolsonaro until the end of the count, this is explicit in the graphic that at first shows a normal difference with spikes and the lines become plain at the end.[49]

In the Brazilian system the invalid votes are put in place by the machines when a candidate is not recognized, this sparked suspicion on how many valid votes were transformed into invalid. The invalid and blank votes could have made a different in the alleged result as they combined are 5.7 million votes, more than the difference of 2.13 votes between the two candidates according to the official results.

Lula da Silva was proclaimed as the winner by the media, President Bolsonaro didn't object or say anything after the election even several hours later.[50][51][52] Alexandre de Morães, the President of the Supreme Electoral Court (Tribunal Superior Electoral, TSE) repeats that the elections are fair. The Brazilian Army supports Bolsonaro.[53]

Steve Bannon commented "It is not possible for the result of the electronic ballot boxes to be correct, it is necessary to audit ballot box by ballot box, even if this takes six months, during which time the president should not accept to leave", he also said that he knows that Bolsonaro and his family is hearing him.[54][55]

Brazilian patriots and Truckers calling for an audit from the Armed Forces in 2022.

Truckers went on strike in support of the protesters on 18 states and more than 26 highways after the results were published accusing electoral fraud.[56][57][58][59] The Brazilian Army supports Bolsonaro.[60]

The Brazilian people also started calling for a military intervention saying "Our flag will never be red!" and "Lula, thief, your place is prison"[61][62][63][64] and an audit by them.[65] A leftist harmed some Brazilian Patriots using his car to run over them.[66]

Massive Anti Communist Protests calling for military intervention outside a military headquarter in Brazil after the 2022 election.

On November 1, 2022, almost two days after the results were shown, Bolsonaro said "I want to begin by thanking the 58 million Brazilians who voted for me. The acts of popular movement are the result of indignation and feelings of injustice about how the electoral process was conducted. Peaceful demonstrations will always be welcome, but the methods cannot be those of the left, which always preached the invasion of property, the destruction of patrimony. The right really emerged in our country, our robust representation in Congress shows the strength of our values, God, country, family and freedom. Our dream is more alive than ever, we are for order and progress. Even facing the whole system we overcame a pandemic and the consequences of a war. I have always been labeled as antidemocratic and unlike my accusers I have always played within the four lines of the constitution. I have never spoken of controlling or censoring the media or social networks. As president of the Republic and as a citizen I will continue to fulfill all the commandments of our Constitution. It is an honor to be the leader of millions of Brazilians who, like me, defend the economic freedom, religious freedom, freedom of opinion, honesty, and the GREEN and YELLOW colors of our flag. Thank you very much."

After Bolsonaro's statement, the Minister of the Presidency, Ciro Nogueira, said he is responsible in the Government for the transition of power process, did refer to Lula as "president-elect". "Based on the law, we will start the transition process," Nogueira said.[67][68]

Rumors were circulating that the military would do an audit of Brazil's elections,[69] however Bolsonaro didn't commented anything about an audit on his statement. The machines are made to not have much audit possibilities and also the Supreme Electoral Court (TSE) dependent of the Judicial System full of leftist judges opposes this initiatives. The Brazilian people also started calling for an audit by the Armed Forces.[70]

On November 4, a video made by the Argentinian Fernando Cerimedo (director of the newspaper "La Derecha")[71] about a private audit started circulating on internet, the video is called #BrazilWasStolen and can only be found in Alt Tech such as Odysee and Rumble. The main argument is that in all machines from to 2020 (audited) had more votes for Bolsonaro, while the machines made prior to the 2020 (non-audited, 2015 or prior) model have significantly less votes, the machines were compared in the same voting locations, explaining that neighbors that tend to vote similarly change the pattern in the base of the machines, something very unusual and that suggests human manipulation of electronic ballot machines. The audit used public and official datasets taken from the Tribunal Superior Eleitoral (TSE).[72]

"I see no explanation for Bolsonaro having zero votes in hundreds of polls", says the economist and former vice-presidential candidate for the candidacy of Soraya Thronicke, Marcos Cintra.[73]

Transition and inauguration

Even before his inauguration, Bolsonaro had already begun making conservative changes.[74] Among his other actions in preparation for assuming office, he nominated Ernesto Araújo, a pro-Trump nationalist, to be his foreign minister.[75] He also nominated an evangelical pro-lifer pastor to be his minister in charge of family, women, and indigenous issues.[76] Overall, his cabinet was comprised of conservatives and military men.[77] Bolsonaro was inaugurated on January 1, 2019, declaring in his inauguration speech that Brazil would now be "liberated from socialism, inverted values, the bloated state and political correctness."[78]

Tenure

Bolsonaro's presidency represented a unique opportunity for Brazil to advance conservative policies and improve the standard of living.[79] He made many changes just in the first few days of his tenure.[80] In his first address in front of Brazil's congress, Bolsonaro stated that "we are going to unite the people, value the family, respect religions and our Judeo-Christian tradition, combat gender ideology, conserving our values," and he mentioned his campaign slogan of "Brazil first and God above everything."[81]

The Left used the same tactics and made the same attacks against Bolsonaro as it did against U.S. President Donald Trump.[82]

In Bolsonaro's first 100 days in office, analysts agreed that he kept more campaign promises than, at least, his two most recent predecessors.[83] He promoted conservative policies in his first year.[84]

Gun rights

Bolsonaro announced that upon assuming office, he would sign a decree to allow all Brazilians to own firearms if they do not have a criminal record,[85] something he did on January 15, 2019.[86] On May 7, 2019, Bolsonaro signed another decree, increasing the amount of ammunition Brazilians could buy and reducing restrictions on gun imports.[87] On June 25, 2019, Bolsonaro reversed the May order, seeing that Brazil's congress would reject it.[88][89]

In March 2021, Bolsonaro signed four decrees expanding citizens' ability to arm themselves for self-defense.[90]

Personal gun registration soared almost 500% under Bolsonaro's administration.[8]

While several international media predicted a catastrophe of crime and murders, Brazil proved that more weapons and more spending on security means fewer deaths. According to official data for 2021 published by government statistics agencies, the homicide rate has fallen to the lowest number in 15 years.

Since January 1, 2019, the day Bolsonaro arrived in Brasília, homicides have fallen 34% to 18.5 homicides per 100,000 inhabitants. These numbers imply that in his 4 years in office, the right-wing president's measures have saved more than 20,000 lives that would have been killed by crime.

According to official data, in 2018, there were 55,980 homicides in Brazil, before Bolsonaro came to power. After his first year in the Palácio do Planalto, this number dropped to 45,503 homicides, exactly 10,477 homicides less.

In 2020, the number managed to stay at the same level, with about 47,722 homicides, about 8,258 homicides less than before he came to power. In 2021, the number fell again, and only 41,069 homicides were recorded, the lowest number since 2007. This number was 14,911 homicides less than during Temer's government.

This 2022 is not yet over, but it is estimated that for the first time since the 1990s there will be less than 40,000 homicides, a country where violence and criminality dominated the last 20 years of Brazilian life.[91]

Crime

The homicides in Brazil went down by 40%.

Bolsonaro sent soldiers to the province of Ceará to put down major gang violence.[92]

In Christmas 2019, Bolsonaro issued a pardon to police officers convicted of involuntary crimes – committed out of self-defense.[93]

On Christmas Day 2019, Bolsonaro signed a major bill cracking down on crime.[94] On December 27, 2019, Bolsonaro signed a bill removing jail time as a possible punishment for military police and firefighters convicted of disciplinary offenses.[95]

Defense of broad LEGAL defense for the good citizen . Successive Drug Seizure Records . Lowest crime figures in the last 20 years . Lowest number of murders in two decades: 41,000 in 2021 . Largest reduction in murders in series history: -21% (2019)

Record increase in drug seizures:

. Marijuana:+133.89% . Cocaine:+67.67%[96]

Economy, deregulation, and bureaucracy

Immediately upon assuming office, President Bolsonaro weakened the department protecting "indigenous rights," and instead promoting integration into Brazilian society, economic development, and improving indigenous quality of life.[97][98] He also signed several decrees promoting the free market, including reducing a planned minimum wage increase, reducing the number of ministries, and firing partisan civil service officers,[99] actions which caused Brazil's stock market to rise significantly[100][101] and business optimism to increase.[102] Bolsonaro's government promised to privatize about 100 government-run industries.[103][104] In his first few days in office, Bolsonaro abolished Brazil's labor department.[80]

Bolsonaro has promoted Brazil as an emerging free-market society, criticizing his predecessors and stating that "the left wing will not prevail."[105]

Bolsonaro worked to reduce socialistic environmental regulations.[106]

After Brazil's congress rejected President Bolsonaro's decree to transfer indigenous land decisions to the Agriculture Department, Bolsonaro issued another decree reinstating this policy in June 2019.[107]

Under Bolsonaro's presidency, Brazil's congress passed a major pension reform bill to improve the country's financial situation.[108]

Under Bolsonaro, Brazil saw an increase in economic growth and investment.[109]

Unemployment rate fell to 8.7% in September and is the lowest in almost 10 years

The number of unemployed people in Brazil fell by 4 million so far this year, and by 621,000 at the end of the third quarter. The employed population rose to the highest values in history and the unemployment rate fell by almost 4 percentage points since Bolsonaro took office.

The economic program promoted by President Jair Bolsonaro and Economy Minister Paulo Guedes continues to yield optimistic results on the labor market. The Brazilian Institute of Geography and Statistics (IBGE) confirmed that the unemployment rate fell to 8.7% in the mobile quarter ended in September.

The original series of the unemployment indicator showed a sharp decline compared to the 9.3% recorded in the moving quarter between April and July. Likewise, unemployment fell by 3.9% compared to the same quarter of 2021, when it reached 12.6% of the labor force.

The lowest unemployment figures recorded since the third quarter of 2015 were observed. The seasonally adjusted series of the indicator, once the cyclical fluctuations of the product are discounted, marked a rate of up to 8.74% for the end of September. Again, this figure is the lowest recorded since July 2015.

In the Bolsonaro administration, seasonally adjusted unemployment accumulated a drop of 3.7 percentage points, compared to the level in January 2019. The Brazilian labor market was on its way to recovering all the ground lost after the severe economic and financial crisis inherited from the last PT administration under Dilma Rousseff.

The number of people looking for work but unable to find it totaled up to 9.5 million in the month of September. This record represents a decrease of 621,000 people compared to the previous mobile quarter, and a drop of up to 4,000,000 so far in 2022 (representing a sharp drop of 29.7% in 10 months) as officially confirmed by IBGE.

The employed population (both in the formal sector of the economy and in the unregistered sector) amounted to 99.3 million people in September. This is a historical record for the country, since the beginning of the measurement of the IBGE indicator in March 2012.

The annual comparison of the employed population shows that up to 6.3 million jobs were created in Brazil in the last 12 months, and 1 million jobs were added during the last quarterly variation.

Despite the economic recovery that the country has been experiencing since the second quarter of 2016, the relationship between increases in GDP and increases in employment had not been as dynamic as it is today.

The difference with respect to previous periods is explained by Bolsonaro's labor policy, in favor of allowing greater regulatory flexibility to promote employment in those sectors that most need work, among them the younger age segment and those people with a longer duration being unemployed.

Bolsonaro's labor reform takes on a preponderant role in the recovery of the labor market. The PRIORE and REQUIP programs, which inaugurated more flexible contracts that encouraged hiring in the formal sector of the economy.[110] Bolsonaro did more using less. This is efficiency.

Bolsonaro reduced public charges and reduced the ministries. He prioritized technical appointments in technical areas. And he delivered much more than the previous ones.

- He eliminated approximately 90,000 positions and functions in the Federal Administration by decree (each power is independent from each other to take such actions).

- In 2019, 64,527 positions were abolished. In 2020, 21,369. In 2021, 6,377. - Savings of R$ 867 million per year with the reduction of positions are estimated. - Technical appointments in technical areas, at all levels. - He put an end to the culture of merely political appointments in technical areas. - His government greatly reduced spending and increased efficiency. - With all this, he was able to help states and municipalities with billions of reais in transfers, help millions of Brazilians with the Emergency Aid, and keep millions of companies running.

Sponsorship and advertising:

- Savings on big sponsorships, focus on those in need. - Since 2019, the Federal Government cut sponsorships for large companies and changed the management of resources in several modalities. - The result: savings of R$ 644.5 million. - The money was destined to those who need it most.

Surplus in the public accounts:

- He started the Government with a deficit of R$ 25.1 billion in the public accounts. That is, the accounts of the Federal Government and state-owned companies.

- In 2019. the deficit was smaller: R$18.6 billion. - 2020 had the plandemic, so everyone went back into debt. It was a deficit of R$23.6 billion. But still smaller than in 2018. - In 2021, Brazil already had a surplus of R$ 4.9 billion. - From January to June of 2022, the primary result of the Union's accounts was positive in R$ 53.6 billion.

- Now in July, the Federal Government has already recorded a primary surplus of R$ 14.4 billion. The best result for the months of June since the beginning of the historical series. IN 1997.[111]

. Increased purchasing power, even with the crisis caused by the pandemic and war. . Gasoline is cheaper

2022 . Minimum wage: R$ 1.212.00 . Price of a liter of gasoline (Aug):R$4.99 . How much can one buy with the minimum wage: 242.9 liters[112]

Land titles given to settler families in Brazil (2000-2022).

Record-breaking delivery of land titles

Farming families can now reside and produce safely with access to the Program to stimulate production and generate employment and income

Titles delivered in Bolsonaro's Government (3 years and 9 months): total of 420,637

Bolsonaro's annual average: 105,159 (divided by 4 years)

Record number of land titles issued in a single year: 140,598 in 2022 (until September, 2022)[113]

Inflation

Inflation in Brazil is already the 6th lowest among G20 countries:

For the 14th consecutive year, projections bring to 2022 new expectations of falling inflation (reduction in the price of food and consumer goods)

With the drop in the IPCA (National Wide Consumer Price Index) in the last months of 2022, the country registered the sixth lowest inflation in August among the G20 countries, a group formed by the largest economies, according to a survey by Austin Rating.

The index is lower than the European Union (7.6%), the United Kingdom (7.1%), Germany (7%) and the United States (5.4%).

On the other end, the survey also shows that Venezuela and Argentina lead the ranking, with 60.4%, 56.5%, respectively, year-to-date.[114]

Bolsonaro and U.S. President Donald Trump in March 2019

On his first day in office, President Bolsonaro signed a decree giving Brazil's government strong oversight over international organizations operating in Brazil.[129] Meanwhile, Brazil's foreign minister, Ernesto Araújo, stated that Brazil would reject globalism and oversight by international organizations.[101][142] In January 2019, Bolsonaro stated Brazil would move its embassy in Israel to Jerusalem,[143] though in March 2019, he announced Brazil would open a trade office in Jerusalem "as a part of its embassy in Israel."[144] Bolsonaro became the first Brazilian president to visit the Western Wall while being accompanied by a senior Israeli official.[145]

In January 2019, President Bolsonaro withdrew Brazil from the UN Migrant Treaty, citing a desire to protect the country's national sovereignty.[146] In a 2019 speech to the trade organization Mercosur, Bolsonaro advocated for national sovereignty,[147] and he did the same at a United Nations General Assembly speech later that year in which he also criticized socialism.[148]

This administration concluded works that had been expected by the population for a long time. Other governments have done many inauguration works, to profit electorally. Bolsonaro chose to finish the works and serve the Brazilians.

- He concluded the Transposition of the São Francisco River, after 13 years of waiting, and even expanded the project.

- The dream of the transposition came since the period of the Empire. - In Minas Gerais, he paved a stretch of BR-154 that connects the Center-West and the Southeast.

The legal security guaranteed by the Sanitation Legal Framework attracted investors. Sanitation is no longer the ugly duckling of infrastructure, and is now ranked first in private investment. We have already guaranteed almost R$ 60 billion in investments.

Remember that a large part of the left was AGAINST it in the National Congress.[161]

In August 2019, after disestablishing a left-wing Cuban slave doctor program, Bolsonaro created a Doctors for Brazil program, giving medical jobs to Brazilians.[162] In 2019, Bolsonaro ended visa requirements for tourists and business people from China, India, the United States, Canada, Japan, and Australia.[163]

In December 2019, Bolsonaro signed an order allowing small farmers to gain the title of the land they farm.[166]

In 2020, Bolsonaro appointed Kássio Nunes Marques, who has ties with Brazil's Left, to the Supreme Court. In 2021, by contrast, he appointed conservative evangelical André Mendonça to the court.[167][168]

Amazon Rainforest

Main article: Amazon Rainforest and Jair Bolsonaro

In 2019 there were fires on the Amazon, the mainstream media said it was because of Bolsonaro's presidency, but in reality the fires started in Evo Morales's Bolivia.[170][171] the worst records of fires in the country's Amazon forests took place under Lula da Silva's government, but at the time there was no reproach against the government of the socialist leader. On the other hand, it has come to light that the bulk of the money dedicated, in theory, to conserve and protect the Amazon has ended up, in reality, in the salaries and per diems of the NGOs involved.[172] While journalists and leftist politicians talked about Bolsonaro and the fires in the Brazilian Amazon, the attention devoted to what is happening in the jungle and forests of Bolivia was practically marginal worldwide. All this despite the fact that the bulk of the fires that have reached Brazil came precisely from Bolivian soil, as accredited by the data offered by NASA. In the Bolivian case, the political implications of the fires are more than evident, since the government of the socialist Evo Morales approved last July 9 a decree allowing the burning of forests in the departments of Beni and Santa Cruz, the focus of the fires that ended up spreading to Brazil. The Bolivian government spoke of "controlled burnings" which, in practice, ended up being carried out without effective control by public institutions.[170][173]

Deforestation of the Amazon Rainforest between 1995 and 2021.

Bolsonaro also responsabiliced the Globalist NGOs for spreading fire to create a crisis against him saying "The Indians, do you want me to blame the Indians, do you want me to blame the Martians...? Everyone is a suspect, but the biggest suspects are the NGOs. […] There may be, yes, and I am not asserting, a criminal action of these 'oenegeros' to draw attention against me, against the Brazilian government, and that is the war we are facing. […] The fire appeared in strategic places. There are images of the entire Amazon, from what everything indicates, there were those who went to film and make fire. That is my feeling" He removed all aid for them for representing foreign interests and not the Brazilian ones.[174]

French President Emmanuel Macron tweeted that the fires pose a serious international crisis to be discussed at this weekend's G7 summit in Biarritz. President Bolsonaro responded: "I think that President Macron seeks to take advantage of what is a domestic issue in Brazil and other Amazon countries for his political gain." he also declared "The Amazon is Brazil's heritage, it is not the lung of the world. What we want for the state of Amazonas and for the forest is to exploit it in a sustainable way […] we want what is good about it (the forest) to serve us and humanity. We want to preserve the environment and marry it with progress. The Amazon can be exploited by all of us".[175][176] Bolsonaro opposes the globalist invasion of Brazilian productive lands. When mentioning the enormous biodiversity of the Amazon Rainforest and its natural riches, the president invited investors to get to know the Amazon. "You will not be burned".

Globalist repeat "The Amazon Rainforest Belongs To The Planet, Not Just Brazil".

The president said that the Indians want to reintegrate into society and that these are on the lands of large estates of natural wealth. About Roraima, Bolsonaro also said that the state's energy supply problem, which is dependent on thermoelectric plants, needs to be addressed. "We spend a lot per year for lack of a power transmission line," he said.

Bolsonaro defended his speech at the UN General Assembly and said that the moment was important to show that cacique Raoni no longer has the hegemony over the indigenous movement.[177]

President Bolsonaro also made clear his intention to extract resources from the region writing "With the war between Russia and Ukraine, we now run the risk of running out of potassium or of its price increasing", he has being criticized because legally a lot of lands in the region is considered "Indigenous land". In 2020 a draft law was introduced to allow government to permit the extraction of minerals, water and organic resources from the lands.

He wrote that he had previously identified "three problems" regarding his country's dependence on foreign sources of fertilizer: environmental legislation, Indigenism and rights of exploration in the Rio Madeira basin.[178]

During the 2022 election, worldwide mainstream media like Deutsche Welle and Azteca Noticias as well as other globalists and climate lunatics as Leonardo Di Caprio, Mark Hamill, Barbra Streisand, George Takei and Mark Ruffalo called Bolsonaro a threat to the planet because of his policy of affirming Brazil sovereignty over the Amazon.[179]

Views

In its eighth consecutive term, Jair Bolsonaro is one of the most admired personalities and at the same time one of the most hated in Brazil. Bolsonaro is the most conservative and right-wing politician on the Brazilian political spectrum, and for defending Christian,[180][181] family,[182] traditional and conservative values, has been falsely labeled by the Brazilian media as "Nazi",[183] "homophobic",[184] "racist",[185] "fascist",[186] "sexist"[187] and "white supremacist". The international mainstream media has also been extremely biased against Bolsonaro.[188] He has been compared to U.S. President Donald Trump and even has the nickname "Tropical Trump."[1][12][189]

Bolsonaro takes strongly pro-life positions,[180][182][190] and he is critical of Carnival because of its immoral and degenerate practices.[191] He supports strong law and order policies on crime,[192] and he has a good relationship with Brazil's military.[193] He accurately condemns national socialism as a left-wing ideology.[194]

When he was first elected for the first time, Bolsonaro had a more friendly stance toward economic interventionism. Over the years, however, Bolsonaro has come to strongly support limited government, a free market without bureaucracy, and privatization.[3][13][195][196]

On foreign policy issues, Bolsonaro has voiced support for nationalist policies similar to those of President Trump,[3][197][198] and he views the United States positively.[199] Bolsonaro takes strongly pro-Israel positions,[180][182][200] supporting moving Brazil's embassy to Jerusalem, something he affirmed he would do after his election,[201][202] and closing the "Palestinian" embassy in Brazil.[203][204] He is seen as a critic of China,[205] Venezuela,[206] and Cuba.[207] However, after his election, he stated that he welcomed increased Chinese investment and trade.[208] Bolsonaro was critical of the globalist Mercosur trade agreement,[209] though he continued integrating Brazil into the organization.[210] Bolsonaro is strongly anti-communist, even stating in a speech after his election as president that he had "an obligation" to fight communism in Latin America.[211] He has made similar statements on the need for him to fight the Left.[212] While opposed to Venezuela's Marxist regime, he has been skeptical of pursuing military action in the country as it would not be in Brazil's interests.[213]

Bolsonaro is a critic of the left-wing mainstream media.[214]

While originally pledging to leave the globalist Paris climate agreement, Bolsonaro later retracted that conservative promise.[215]

Bolsonaro is a defender of Augusto Pinochet's Military Government, even saying that former Chilean President and UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Michelle Bachelet's father was going to bring misery to Chile just as Socialism in Cuba. Bachelet's father was a collaborator of Salvador Allende's socialist regime.[216][217]

Personal life

Bolsonaro has been married three times, and he has five children, with his three oldest sons – including Eduardo Bolsonaro – also serving as conservative elected officials. Bolsonaro has been baptized in the Jordan River.[218]
