According to the sources, two of them ministers of the Brazilian government, the president assured that he was not willing to be arrested and repeated phrases similar to those expressed in the acts of last September 7 when, in the midst of a show of military force, he threatened not to abide by orders of the Supreme Federal Court (STF).
