Bolsonaro: Incredible waste as president of Brazil – He paid 13,000 euros at a gas station

THE Zach Bolsonaro may have stated that as its president Brazil “he didn’t charge a single euro to the presidential card”, but it is revealed that he ended up charging her 5 million euros, with the majority of the expenses not justified based on the prices.

Specifically, account movements for the presidential credit card during the four years of the far-right Bolsonaro’s term (2019-2022) were published on an official website of the government of his successor, Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, who has begun to withdraw a secrecy for 100 years imposed by his far-right predecessor on thousands of official documents.

A total of 27.6 million reais (almost €5 million at the current exchange rate) was spent with this card, which was used by 21 people in his team.

20,000 euros in a cheap shop

The biggest food expenditure is also the one that raises the most questions: 109,266 reais (about 20,000 euros) spent in one transaction at a modest restaurant in Boa Vista, in the Amazonian state of Romaima (north). Enough to order over 2,000 times the most expensive dish, roast chicken with cassava flour, at the modest price of 50 reais (9 euros).

The presidential credit card was also used to pay more than 362,000 reais (€65,000) over four years to a bakery in Rio de Janeiro, including 55,000 reais in a transaction the day after his son Eduardo’s wedding and 33,000 reais on the eve of the event by supporters of the motorcycle procession through the streets of this city.

In total, 8,600 reais (about 1,500 euros) were spent in ice cream shops, i.e. 62 purchases in five stores.
