Such a statement was given by the ex-military in an interview on the Christian podcast Collab, reproduced this Tuesday on social networks.
To presenters, Bolsonaro, 67, affirmed he will not be responsible for “saving Brazil”, but with the arrival of elections, he wants God to enlighten all voters, since the decision at the polls can mark the future.
In a pessimistic tone, the ruler insisted he has nothing else to do if he loses the election.
“If it is God’s will, I continue, if I don’t, people pass the band and I go to pick myself up. Because at my age I have nothing else to do here on Earth. If I finish mine, that’s my passage here in politics, on December 31,” he said.
He once again mentioned values such as family, God, country and freedom.
When referring to that last word, he implied that he is afraid of falling prey to not winning the vote, given acts carried out during his four years in power that do not correspond to his position.
He explained that he prefers “to die fighting than to survive in prison.”
The former paratrooper hoped that everything would go well on the day of the vote and emphasized that his life “is not easy,” but, as a standard-bearer for the Liberal Party, he aspires to be re-elected to his government.
Brazil is engaged in a tense electoral campaign, which officially began on August 16, with an appreciable advantage in opinion polls for former President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, with 46 percent favoritism, compared to 31 for Bolsonaro.
As a candidate of the Workers’ Party, Lula (2003-2011) aspires to a third presidential term with the promise of repeating the social achievements among the most vulnerable classes, as well as rebuilding the country, as he predicts in almost all his speeches.
