This concern joins a certain emotion in Brazil over the discovery of a draft of the ex-president’s decree in the home of one of his main collaborators.

The document established a national state of emergency which canceled the elections October that Lula da Silva won and the Electoral Tribunal intervened, presided over by an eminent magistrate of the Supreme Court.

How to proceed against Bolsonaro

A success, specifically. That role is now in the focus of specialists and the PT government itself to see how to proceed against the controversial far-right leader.

The document was found at the home of the security secretary of the Brasilia government, Anderson Torres, until a few hours ago. Bolsonaro’s former justice minister.

This character, whose arrest had already been claimed by justice convinced he was one of the promoters of the insurrection last Sunday in the political center of the capital, he is in the USA, in Orlando, where the former president currently resides.

the document is formal decree of the executive which would enforce what is called here “Defense State” at the headquarters of the Superior Electoral Tribunal, commanded by Judge Alexandre de Moraes, a judge Bolsonaro attacked during his four-year term.

That magistrate was a staunch defender of the efficiency of the voting machines that the former president discredited for supporting his narrative of fraud in the October elections.

Provided for in the Constitution, the function of this device is “preserve or promptly restore public order or social peace”when they are “threatened by serious and imminent institutional instability or affected by natural disasters of great proportions”.

In addition to enabling the Site status and federal intervention, the state of defense is characterized by a situation of circumstantial limitation of the constituent power and authorizes the restriction of fundamental rights.

The decree that Torres believed is based precisely on the Constitution “with the aim of guaranteeing the conservation or timely restoration of equity and the correction of the electoral process presidential election of the year 2022, with respect to their conformity and legality, which, if not observed or not observed, represent a serious threat to public order and social peace”.

There is controversy among specialists as to the extent to which it constitutes legal evidence.

But for the authorities of the new government, the role confirms the long hand of the former president or of his main collaborators in the disaster that occurred against the public buildings of Brasilia.

And they analyze it to determine if there are elements that allow it prosecute Bolsonaro and definitively nullify his threat.

“The main aspect of the document, at first, is the indication that there would actually be a debate about it the methods of carrying out a coup d’état”, The Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper indicated this Friday that it was the medium that revealed the existence of that card, then confirmed by other portals.

He added that “Members of the federal prosecutor’s office leadership also see ways to be the former president included in an investigation with the suspicion of being part of a criminal organization contrary to the democratic rule of law”.

the tip of the iceberg

This newspaper quotes Helena Lobo, professor of criminal law at the University of São Paulo, who explains that from a criminal point of view the draft can be “the tip of the iceberg whose investigations will now have to be launched.

The lawyer explains that the card is also a clue that strengthens the judicial suspicions about Torres. In this sense, the coordinator of the Brazilian Academy of Electoral and Political Law, Renato Ribeiro, says that the project can corroborate “that the former president acts of incitement that challenged the results of the polls and encouraged the situations that occurred on January 8.”

The document of three pagesmade on the computer, it was found in the former minister’s closet during a raid done last Tuesday. Torres, from the United States, defended himself by arguing that an official has a series of documents that he is destroying or is about to be destroyed and that minor evidence is being used to indict him.

The former official, a vertical ally of Bolsonaro, has promised to return to the country and turn himself in to the authorities. Judge De Moraes has requested his arrest and trial for criminal association.

The return of Bolsonaro

Also on the radar is the forthcoming return of the far-right former president, who is a problem in perspective for the new authorities. It is not excluded that if this happens at the end of this month as expected, it can happen a crowd at the airport of Bolsonaro fanatics and with which he attacks the former president its discursive banner of the alleged fraud.

This scenario is even more complex after President Lula da Silva hardened his speech this Thursday in relation to the armed forces and stated that “I’m not the moderating power they think they are.”

In a context of criticism and denunciations of the Army’s actions in the invasion of the Planalto Palace by the Bolsonarist horde, Lula admitted that “lost trust” in relation to active military personnel.

In the Bolsonaro government, members of the Armed Forces had large participation with more than 6,000 troops in various departments and positions from vice presidency to junior positions, all with double salary.

These are the comments of the head of state a creepy door on the behavior of the uniforms if there will be a return of Bolsonaro, if that return will be tumultuous and the social and political wound that surrounds this country will deepen. We will know in a few days.
