The public release Friday of ex-president Jair Bolsonaro’s official credit card expenditures is raising eyebrows in Brazil. | afp
Adjusted for inflation, the full amount charged to the card is almost half that spent during Lula’s first four-year term beginning in 2003 — though he used the card mainly for accommodations while traveling abroad.But analysis of the newly-opened records by the Uol news website found that today’s equivalent of more than $235,000 was spent by Bolsonaro while on vacation in 2019, 2020 and 2021.
Nearly $14,000 was spent on a single visit to a petrol station, and another $286,000 on several visits to a luxury hotel in Guaruja, a seaside resort near Sao Paulo. According to the website G1, the hotel housed members of Bolsonaro’s entourage, while he stayed at a military complex.On one visit to a restaurant in Boa Vista in the Amazonian state of Roraima, the presidential card was used to pay a bill of more than $21,000.That would be enough for an order of 2,000 plates of the restaurant’s most expensive dish: roast chicken with a side starch, which costs a little less than $10.
The card was also used to charge more than more than $71,000 over four years at a bakery in Rio de Janeiro. Of this amount, almost $11,000 was spent in one go: on the day after the wedding of Bolsonaro’s son. It also happened to be the eve of a motorbike rally organized by Bolsonaro supporters through the streets of Rio.
