(FOLHAPRESS) - Senator and pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) stated that he had no relationship with former first lady Michelle Bolsonaro and stated that he did not expect the video released by her criticizing her in June.

"In all honesty, nowadays, I have no relationship with her [Michelle]. Even more so now that I am prohibited from speaking to my father. I would go to his house from time to time," said the senator.

He said he did not know why the former first lady recorded the video criticizing him and said that "no one expected" the attitude. Flávio also said he was willing to talk and that "he needs everyone". According to the senator, his career left him "accustomed to swallowing".

The statement was made this Wednesday (15) during a participation in the Flow Podcast.

The PL presidential pre-candidate once again criticized the 90-day restriction on visits to former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) imposed by STF (Supreme Federal Court) minister Alexandre de Moraes.

When commenting on the decision, Flávio cited as an example the rapper Oruam and his father, Márcio dos Santos Nepomuceno, a drug dealer linked to Comando Vermelho and known as Marcinho VP.

"If Oruam wants to visit Marcinho VP in jail, he will go," said the senator.

The restriction was determined after Moraes understood that Flávio violated measures previously imposed on Bolsonaro, which prohibited the former president from using social networks, including through third parties. The senator recorded a video reading a letter written by his father in which he asked for union

According to Flávio, the letter read on July 11 was the fifth written correspondence released by the former president, which would not justify the ban on visits.

"He [Moraes] was just looking for an excuse to finish burying my father alive. There is no logic in him wanting to give me this 90-day punishment other than the desire to leave him [Bolsonaro] incommunicado with, in addition to his own son, the pre-candidate for the Presidency of the Republic", he said.

Flávio also recalled that he is registered in the records as his father's defense lawyer. He says he actually acts as a defender. According to the senator, he participates in debates on procedural strategy and in writing documents.

Regarding the exchange of messages with banker Daniel Vorcaro in which he asked for money to produce the film "Dark Horse", which tells the story of former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL), Flávio repeated the argument that it was a private venture.

At another point, he denied that the topic of Banco Master is a taboo in his pre-campaign.

Asked about the recent decisions of STF minister Flávio Dino, the senator stated that they were attempts to interfere in the electoral process. He accused Dino and Moraes of trying to target right-wing parliamentarians "at all times."

According to the senator, Dino is a “communist” and is in the Supreme Court “in service”. He also said that the minister lied during the hearing when he said that he would be exempt as a member of the STF.

The impeachment of STF ministers is, according to Flávio, one of the main agendas of these elections. He risked the prediction that the Senate, responsible for voting on these processes, should have a favorable majority after this election in which two thirds of the House will be renewed.

Among the promises made by Flávio during the interview is the universalization of internet access and the end of re-election. The pre-candidate also stated that he will maintain Bolsa Família and that the majority of the program's beneficiaries work. According to him, the state has to "embrace" those who could return to poverty.

The position clashes with another pre-candidate from the same political camp as Flávio, the former governor of Minas Gerais Romeu Zema (Novo), who has been criticizing the program over the last few months.
