Bolsonaro: “I am not the Most Important Person in Brazil any more than Trump is in the world”

RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – On Friday, November 6th, in reference to the candidate for reelection in the United States, Donald Trump, President Jair Bolsonaro said that foreign policy “interests each one of us” and that, at certain moments, what encourages him is “God above all”. His speech was given at a graduation ceremony of Federal Highway Police (PRF) officers, where Bolsonaro briefly addressed the American presidential race.

“The time in Brazil is still difficult, we observe foreign policy and we have our preferences. What happens out there is of interest to each one of us here. Therefore, at certain times only one thing encourages and strengthens us, God above all. I am not the most important person in Brazil, just as Trump is not the most important person in the world, as he well says. The most important person is God.”

During the event, Ministers and Highway Police officers emphasized in their speeches the government’s commitment to ensure the hiring of 600 candidates who passed the last PRF examination. With the government accounts under pressure, the economic team considered not recommending hiring the group. Bolsonaro conceded that the incentive was influenced by the mobilization of the approved candidates outside the Alvorada Palace, where they pressured the President and Ministers to authorize the appointments.

After the ceremony in Florianópolis, Bolsonaro left for the town of Renascença (PR), where he would attend another event inaugurating a small hydroelectric plant.
