On Video, Olavo de Carvalho Threatens to Overthrow Bolsonaro’s Government
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL – Olavo de Carvalho, until recently Jair Bolsonaro’s guru in his campaign for the presidency, seemingly made a threat against his former sycophant: “If people can’t overthrow the government, I will. Remain inactive, remain a coward, I will overthrow this shit from this government”.
The astrologist and soi-disant professor gave a vent to his spleen in a video recorded on Saturday, June 6th, entitled “Addendum to Class 521,” complaining that he has no support from the President regarding the lawsuits against him, and disputing the charges that the “hate cabinet” exists.
“The hate cabinet was invented against me, not against Bolsonaro. If you can’t defend me from all these people, you were not my friend. You only take advantage.”
With a string of expletive name-calling, Bolsonaro’s ex-guru says he wouldn’t accept any official honorary decoration and that the President is being counseled by cowardly or corrupt generals – “they’re either cowardly or sellouts, I don’t know what’s worse.”
