Now, already late at night in Brazil, a bad time to post, but I’ll do it anyway, because I’m not seeking likes, but rather to express a sincere feeling.
For those who don’t understand, @CPAC is our world cup, the largest conservative event on Earth, the place where American and international leaders compete, elbow to elbow, for a chance to speak for a few minutes. Last year I spoke between @JMilei and @realDonaldTrump, but this year, with all due respect to the presidents of Argentina and the USA, it was even more special.
Yesterday I had already spoken on a panel with the event’s host, @mschlapp. Mission accomplished. I was already more than satisfied and I would still have @FlavioBolsonaro the next day. I come from the days when we celebrated Carlos’s election as a city councilman in Rio de Janeiro - and a lot! Speaking on the most watched conservative stage in the world? My friend, I couldn’t have even imagined traveling abroad back then.
I’ll confess something: when I was a child, I used to ask God for two things: to be tall, and to travel all over the world - but it didn’t have to be this much either, right, Lord? Hehe.
The event organizers, Matt and @mercedesschlapp, probably have no idea how much good they did for my soul, and one day I will show my gratitude. At this CPAC, I made two appearances and gave my brother the opportunity to deliver his message to the international community, at a very sensitive moment for our family, precisely when our father is unjustly imprisoned. We face the left, we face his frequent hospital visits, and we even face “criticism” from within the right. When Insee someone criticizing Flávio, I think only one thing: what an irresponsible guy, trying to force my son to speak originally English and bury the chance for the grandfather to see his grandchildren again - not to mention all the other prisoners and exiles who will have to wait another 4 years to, maybe, get out of this…
Today I understand that God does everything right, we humans are the ones who err by trying to understand Him and seeking answers while still on the path He is preparing for us. In 2018, when I began traveling abroad frequently, I never imagined that one day I would use these connections to open doors for my brother to ultimately fight to save my father and all the political prisoners in Brazil.
It’s like Bebeto crossing the ball for Romário to score in Brazil vs Netherlands in 1994, or Rivaldo’s dummy for Ronaldo “Phenomenom” to score the second goal against Germany in 2002. Nothing is more gratifying. My heart is filled with hope. Thank you, Lord, for this opportunity.
