Mr. President, Cid followed you closely, as your right-hand man, for many years.
You have said that he was like a son to you.
Was he your biggest disappointment?
Look, when I say that it's because his father is from the artillery, graduated in the same year as I did, in 1977.
So there was an affinity with Cid.
And it's not just Cid.
I always had, over the course of four years, four aides-de-camp.
You don't hear anything about any of the other three.
But Cid was the main one.
He was the chief, but every day one of the three was there, and Cid was almost always there as well.
Cid, in my view, had too much initiative.
You notice that over time.
And when the falsification appeared on his phone, in my view, he was blackmailed by the Federal Police.
Threat of his daughter's imprisonment.
And his wife, whom they had falsified.
That leads one to believe that I am telling the truth, given that once he spoke with someone, and that someone recorded it, and Folha de São Paulo published those recorded audios on the website.
When he said in those recordings that he was starting to tell the truth and they didn't want him to.
They want me to say what they think is best.
And at the interrogation they question me.
Your plea bargain is very good.
Look at the problems.
And Cid, venting, says.
The guys threaten me with 30 years in prison.
So Cid was tortured into saying that.
I'm not going to say whether it was a disappointment, whether I'm happy or not.
Each one takes their own line.
to defend themselves.
and, on my part, I'm calm because I have the truth on my side.
One rare thing is talking with a former president who has no trace of corruption.
They embezzled so much, such-and-such state-owned company was robbed, money was found somewhere, it underwent three search-and-seizure operations.
the accusations are falling apart.
It's whale, condensed milk.
I understand that the gifts had already been thrown out by the TCU's last summary ruling, which was about Lula's watch, but the TCU's decision says that the gifts—personal items, necklace, watch, pen—belong to the respective former presidents, regardless of their values.
On another note... The TCU suggests to the National Congress specific legislation on the issue of gifts received by these presidents.
In light of the TCU's last summary ruling, I don't see the way forward on this.
