==Life and career==

Bolsonaro has changed parties several times in his career, something not unusual considering the large number of parties in Brazil, along with the fact that conservative parties in the country tend to be weak. He was a member of the [[Progressive Party (Brazil)|Progressive Party]]. The most leftist members of that party usually classify it as a ''PSNN'' (''Progressista Só No Nome'' - ''[[Progressive]] In Name Only'', ''PLINO''). In March 2016, he left PP to join [[Social Christian Party]], and he later joined the [[Social Liberal Party]]. All of these parties are conservative or conservative-leaning despite their names.

During the voting of the Dilma Rousseff in the Congress, on April 17, 2016, Bolsonaro dedicated his vote to [[Brilhante Ustra]], the only militair that was declared by the Justice as a "torturer", and who allegedly was the torturer of Rousseff in the 1970s. [[Jean Wyllys]], after he voted, spat on Bolsanaro.<ref>http://www.bbc.com/portuguese/noticias/2016/04/160417_momentos_marcantes_impeachment_ru</ref>
