Overview
- Agrarian Development Minister Paulo Teixeira said Tarcísio de Freitas abandoned São Paulo to tend to Jair Bolsonaro and labeled him an advocate for an amnesty push.
- Tarcísio says he requested authorization on September 17 and that the court scheduled his Bolsonaro visit for September 29, overlapping the 4 p.m. STF inauguration.
- He reports staying at Bolsonaro’s residence from 2 p.m. to 6 p.m., denies making a political gesture, and notes he sent Inês Coimbra and Gilberto Kassab to represent São Paulo at the ceremony.
- After the meeting, Tarcísio reiterated support for a broad Jan. 8 amnesty and said sentence‑reduction proposals do not satisfy Bolsonaro.
- The visit included Flávio Bolsonaro and Jair Renan and was the first since Bolsonaro’s STF conviction and house arrest, reinforcing right‑wing alignment as Congress debates amnesty versus sentence reductions.
