in my column Today in Folha I say that Brazilian democracy is in danger. And there is no longer any reason to doubt it. Just play the happy game. If there was ever a reasonable assurance that the active-duty army would not embark on an adventure, that guarantee dwindles with each passing day.
The movement that takes place is very impressive. TSE granted the Armed Forces a seat on the Election Transparency Commission. With a certain civic naivete, he thought this might eventually secure the stubborn uniformed industries. I have always made the mistake in good faith.
The arms representative saw fit to take over the process and continued to propose the test of the impossible. The court’s explanations are unsatisfactory because, again, the wrong question has no right answer. Now, the Secretary of Defense wants matters to be made public, opening up to the unbridled market of opinion, as if we actually had an insecure system. There has never been a confirmed case of fraud.
In the escalation that made the coup worse, Bolsonaro made the bizarre offer on a “live” broadcast this Thursday to submit the TSE’s investigation to an external audit of a private company hired by his party. Which? He didn’t. Think about it: Someone interested in election results pays a company to monitor the results against unknown criteria. This is a deviation. And obviously illegal.
And everything so why? Because, at least for now, all the polls show that the president is going to lose the race. And not just for anyone. The winner would be Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva. In “Live”, Bolsonaro didn’t even hide it. He ironically stated that, as the polls say, such a company could declare the PT’s victory – in a tone, he suggested that the polls were liars. He knows that there are no liars because there are numbers in the Palace that show that if there is an election today, PT will be victorious.
CIA boss William Burns was in Brazil in July last year and made it clear that the United States does not trust the possibility of Bolsonaro to disrespect the ballot box results. The president denied the content of the speech, which in practice was approved by the US government.
Can Washington guarantee that Bolsonaro will not stage a coup on his own or that if Lula wins the parade, the Armed Forces will not prevent the elected from taking office? The answer is negative. But the message, repeated the following month, in August 2021, by another Joe Biden representative, gives an account of the turmoil the country will get into in the foreign scenario as well. Well, around here, you can barely imagine what will happen next. As you can see, the fascist is eager to settle the bill either with those whom he sees as ideological enemies or with an annoying neighbor.
You need to trigger in and out alerts. The democratic world needs to know that Bolsonaro staged a self-coup and received support from sectors of the Armed Forces who decided to resort to technical language to legitimize a barracks. “But all this hatred the fardados have for Lula?” Although it is extremely unfair and unfair, it is not small. After re-democratisation, he was the president who invested the most in Defense.
What if the polls start to show Bolsonaro’s victory? Well, then the putschists would calm down, because then they would rely on ballot box approval to deal a blow to democracy! Make no mistake: it is a device of authoritarianism under construction. And, in a second term, the “captain”, for example, wants to treat the Judgment.

For the moment, the election scenario is not very promising for the coup fighter – and he is obviously planning the coup for it. An Ipespe poll released this Friday shows that everything in Lula’s campaign that some press calls a “crisis” hasn’t changed the mood of voters. Data collected between 2nd and 4th. Spontaneous voting intent emerges with 39% versus 29% for PT Bolsonaro. Two weeks ago, 38% and 28% respectively.
In the induced questionnaire, 44% to 31% for PT. In the last survey, 45% to 31%. In August of last year, 40% to 24% to note the constancy. But then Moro was still a candidate with 9% of his intention to vote. In the second round, the former president would beat the current president 34% to 54%, as in the previous poll. That August, 51% to 32%.
Bolsonaro today has a worldwide articulated far-right cadre and the spirit of the coup. Here it is associated with the bad tradition of tutelage that the military intended to have over the political process. By the way: one of your people, General Eduardo Pazuello, has been given a chance to demonstrate the excellence of doing things suitable for civilians by military means. Disaster is measured on a magnificent mountain of the dead.
Here it is… Bolsonaro was elected president by the then-congratulatory vote, according to the rules of the game he now wants to sabotage, because the regime of “one individual, one vote” can remove him from power. It has been undermining institutions since January 1, 2019.
You have to put your mouth on the trombone.
