Peru’s President Pedro Castillo’s failure in the attempted coup on Wednesday the 7th resonated in the Brazilian Congress as a message against the coup-mongering of Bolsonaristas in Brazil.
The assessment was not just made by PT politicians or the allies of incoming president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT) for the first time. They also saw their so-called center members serving as a support base for President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) in Congress.
MP Danilo Forte (União Brasil-CE) classifies the attempted coup in Peru as “an outdated chanchada that is no longer funny”. “Unfortunately, there are still people in Brazil who think this way,” says the MP, referring to the radical Bolsonarists who are still demonstrating against Lula’s inauguration.
Senator Simone Tebet (MDB-MS), who ran against Lula in the first round of the election and backed the PT against Bolsonaro in the second round, saw the failure of the coup in Peru as “more than a lesson, a message.”
In his view, just as the Peruvian Supreme Court acted swiftly, the Federal Supreme Court in Brazil does it right. “No one can attack democracy,” he said.
Senator Renan Calheiros remembers that Peru’s putschist president was imprisoned in addition to his impeachment. “This is another lesson for Brazil and Bolsonaro,” praising the speed with which the Legislature reacted to the coup attempt. said.
The Peruvian Parliament simply ignored the populist politician’s decisions to shut down Congress and create a state of exception. Subsequently, an arrest warrant was issued for the president, who was detained by the Federal Police as he fled.
“Any similar attempt here could have had the same result,” Renan wrote in his column.
