Government sees 'political-electoral' tone in Flávio Bolsonaro's demonstration about tariffs and says he frustrated businesspeople

The Lula government's assessment of the participation of senator Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ) in the hearing on the American government's tariffs against Brazilian exports is that the pre-candidate for president's speech was made in a "purely political-electoral" tone and frustrated businesspeople, who were hoping for a speech more in defense of Brazil in the quest to avoid new tariffs.

The campaign for Lula plans to use his opponent's speech as ammunition to reinforce the speech that former president Bolsonaro's son wants to subordinate Brazilian interests to those of the United States.
For presidential advisors, Flávio Bolsonaro did not defend Brazilian businessmen and preferred to focus on attacks on the Lula government, using the audience for his political interests.
In addition, the president's aides highlighted that the senator, once again, used the Banco Master case to try to target the Lula government, but omitted his close relationship with banker Daniel Vorcaro.
"At this point, he certainly does not deceive American advisors, who know a lot about the news about the charge that the senator made to Vorcaro to finance the film about his father", said a palace advisor.

The deputy leader of the government, deputy Lindbergh Farias (PT-RJ), criticized Flávio Bolsonaro. "He wasn't defending Brazil, but just trying to erase his own fingerprints. In the past, he celebrated the tariff against the country and thanked Trump", said the deputy.
He added that, "now, he's just asking for a postponement. He says it's the worst moment. After the election, apparently, Brazil has to turn around." campaign. The idea is to show that he sought to defend the country, attacking the Lula government, which - in his speech - is responsible for Donald Trump's threats of tariffs.
The senator, by the way, intends to stay a few more days in the United States, to try to show that he continues to try to avoid the tariffs, which will be decided by July 15th.
