The statement comes hours after Flávio Bolsonaro published a video on social media stating that his party membership had been defrauded and that the “system” was trying to prevent his progress towards the Presidency of the Republic.
"You saw that they defrauded my party membership. The system will try everything to stop me, but it won't succeed," said the senator.
In the video, Flávio also announced a live broadcast for this Thursday, at 7 pm (Brasília time), and called on supporters for an event in Copacabana, Rio de Janeiro, this Sunday (16), which, according to him, will mark the beginning of his journey towards the Presidency of the Republic.
Mission says it tried to cancel membership
In an official note, Missão stated that its system identified the alleged fraud and attempted to cancel the membership on the same day, but the request was rejected by the TSE.
The party also maintains that Flávio Bolsonaro's office was informed about the attempted membership since August 2nd.
According to the caption, the emails sent were opened but received no response.
“A report with all logs, emails and IPs will be made available to the press and authorities,” informed the party, indicating that it intends to present technical records to assist in the investigation.
In addition to classifying the episode as fraud, Missão stated that it would not be interested in welcoming Flávio Bolsonaro into its ranks, alleging “ideological misalignment” and making reference to accusations and suspicions of the parliamentarian's involvement in alleged corruption schemes.
The party, however, did not present details in the note about which accusations it was mentioning.
The party informed that it is already taking steps with the Federal Police and the TSE so that those responsible for the alleged fraud are identified and held responsible.
Flávio says he will run for President
While the party claims to have been the victim of a fraudulent membership attempt, Flávio Bolsonaro publicly maintains that the episode is part of an attempt to prevent his candidacy.
In the video published this Thursday, the senator stated that “God is in charge” and called on his supporters for Sunday's event in Rio.
