The dispute began with a visit by Moraes’ chief of staff to the Pabuda facilities last month, which was revealed by the Metropolis website, and has acquired new chapters in parallel with the dispute. Hypothetical trial of clarification motions Bolsonaro is against the conviction imposed by the First Committee of the STF.

When they learned that one of Moraes’ aides had gone to inspect the DF prison, allies close to Bolsonaro began moving to obtain more information and try to avoid what they take for granted: that the former president would have to spend a “season” of at least a week in Babuda before being placed under house arrest for health reasons. In Bolsonarianism’s interpretation, it would amount to a kind of public humiliation imposed by Alexandre de Moraes.

But the coordinated reaction was not only behind the scenes, in private conversations with ministers. There have also been institutional movements by the federal district government, Bolsonian shock forces in the Senate, and even the Brazilian left, in a series of initiatives – which, in addition to trying to interfere in the fate of the former president, also aim to fuel diametrically opposed narratives on the issue.

On the part of the former president, Damaris asked the Secretary of the DF Prisons Department Permission to visit the prison And check if the unit is ready to receive Bolsonaro.

On the Lolist side, the Socialist Workers Party deputy accuses the Ibanes government of giving privileged treatment to Bolsonaro, without worrying about the health status of prisoners in the prison system.

Even before the trial of Bolsonaro and six other defendants from the so-called “crucial core” of the coup plot, authorities at the top of the Buriti Palace had already sought out members of the special forces to voice their concerns about Bolsonaro’s eventual imprisonment at Babuda. As mentioned in the blog.

The annoyance of Governor Ibanes Rocha, who intends to run for a Senate seat in 2026 with the support of the Bolsonaro clan, was revealed in the letter sent last Monday (3) by his Secretary of the Department of Prisons, Henderson Souza y Telles.

In the document, Winderson asked Moraes to subject Bolsonaro “to a medical evaluation by a specialized team, so that his clinical condition can be assessed and its compatibility with the medical and nutritional assistance available in prisons” in the capital.

“If Bolsonaro gets sick and dies there in Babuda, the Ibanes government will look terrible in the picture,” says an interlocutor close to Bolsonaro. “It also generates massive instability in the prison system. All security measures must be strengthened to avoid rebellion, which is possible. This is disturbing for a candidate who wants right-wing voters.”

However, Moraes summarily rejected the request in just four lines, deeming it inappropriate.

“Complex clinical picture”

After Moraes refused, Senator Damaris Alves asked the federal district government for permission Visit the facilities Babuda Prison Complex.

So far, Moraes has not allowed a group of 12 parliamentarians to visit the eight de Janeiro prisoners serving their sentences in Babuda. To circumvent Moraes, Damaris addressed the letter to Secretary Henderson Souza y Telles, as it included an inspection of facilities and no visits to those accused in investigations at the STF, which would eliminate the need for the Minister’s approval.

In the document, obtained by the blog, Damaris highlights that Bolsonaro “presents a complex clinical picture, resulting from the consequences of the attack he suffered in 2018,” including multiple abdominal surgeries, bouts of intestinal obstruction, frequent cases of reflux and gastritis, and persistent bouts of hiccups and vomiting.

The Senator also states that a report issued by the National Mechanism for the Prevention and Combating of Torture, last year, identified overcrowding of over 230%, noticeable weight loss among inmates, restrictions on access to healthcare and difficulty obtaining legal aid in Babuda.

On another front of pressure, Felix also contacted the Secretariat of the Prison Service, claiming that the same concern of the Ibanes government regarding Bolsonaro’s health status and his eventual transfer to Pabuda should extend to the more than 27,000 prisoners detained in the federal capital’s prison system.

Felix asked the Ibanes government to subject all prisoners in the capital’s prison system to a medical evaluation, with reports issued to verify the clinical condition of each prisoner and the “compatibility between sanitary conditions and medical and nutritional assistance” in prison institutions.

The lawmaker, who chairs the Human Rights Committee of the Legislative Chamber of the Federal District, told the blog: “The lack of health care for thousands of prisoners in the Federal District is a very serious problem, but this selectivity by the governor runs counter to the principles governing the democratic rule of law, such as impersonality and equal treatment of all workers in the prison system.”

“The Ibanes government itself is trying to benefit Bolsonaro so that he is not transferred to Babuda. I do not think it is about health care inside the prisons of the German armed forces.”

What does the DF government say?

In a communication via the blog, the Prison Administration Secretariat stated that it was “taking the necessary steps to conduct the visit” to Damaris.
