Jair Bolsonaro, August 16, 2019
“O que eu fiquei sabendo, se ele resolveu mudar, vai ter que falar comigo. Quem manda sou eu, [para] deixar bem claro. Eu dou liberdade para os ministros todos, mas quem manda sou eu.”
Portal translation: What I heard is that if he decided to change, he'll have to talk to me. I'm the one in charge, [to] make it very clear. I give all the ministers freedom, but I'm the one in charge.
The translation is the portal's; the original text, in Portuguese, is the one that prevails.
- Context
