Number I was struck by the diplomatic “cascatol” that assured me that everything between Jair Bolsonaro and Joe Biden was great and that – and frankly, I think no one should be impressed – look!, “there was chemistry”. Heterogeneous mixing is also a chemical phenomenon.
I repeat, I repeat, I depend on the meaning of words, and not on the corresponding interpretations or readings of the usual Polianas. Fact: The president repeated to Biden that he wants “clean” and “auditable” elections that are already happening in Brazil. If he says – and he says – otherwise, he also declares his bad intentions in foreign lands. It’s no longer just a scam chat for locals.
As the ostrich never did, you can pretend it didn’t happen – otherwise it would have gone extinct before it was domesticated: stick your head in the hole. The animal does this to eat pebbles, which, like all birds, facilitates digestion. Only the size changes. We better face the rock and grind to expose the man’s scam in its final form, the poop of history. And this will not even be used for fertilizer.
For those who are distracted, I repeat what the president of Brazil said:
“There are elections in Brazil this year. And we want clean, reliable and auditable elections so that there is no doubt after the election. I’m sure it will be held in a democratic spirit. So will the government. democratically.”
Basic logic cannot be confused with rudeness or bad habits:
1: Bolsonaro says he wants “clean, credible and auditable” elections;
2: therefore Bolsonaro thinks that today’s elections are NOT “clean, credible and auditable”;
3: it is undemocratic if it is not “clean, reliable and auditable”;
4: Bolsonaro says he will leave the government “democratically” — the adverb “só” is implicit here: “only democratically”;
5: Soon Bolsonaro’s demands are met or he explains he has no intention of leaving.
By the way, expressions have to be contextualized, right? They cannot be taken in isolation every day, as if we were living in the eternal present.
Bolsonaro lied at a ceremony at the Palace on Tuesday: He said he pointed to “hundreds” of weaknesses in the Armed Forces’ voting system. They didn’t. TSE transformed the Armed Forces representative’s invitation to join the Transparency Commission, as if giving the military the final word. This never happened. There, he claims the status of “supreme commander” of the Three Forces to make such a representative his own voice in commission. He claims to have been the “superinspector” of an election in which he was actually a candidate.
I recently read in Folha that the institute chosen by PL – Voto Legal – to oversee the elections, first wanted to change some of the strict rules of the TSE, including protecting the system from invasions. It is reported there:
“One of Voto Legal’s requests is to allow the use of portable computers connected to the Internet. According to the current rule, work must be done in a “controlled environment without Internet access”.
They drew attention to the absurdity – although the Legal Vote was serious and well-intentioned – by the way, his request was not even presented by a representative of the Armed Forces. There are other requirements that would make the Statutory Vote a subordinate body of the court and not an instrument of control.
In addition, the TSE requires the auditing company to have “notorious performance in the audit and transparency of public administration”. “Legal Vote” opened less than a year ago.
Bolsonaro is willing to make demands that cannot be met, so they have reason to break the game. And don’t hide it from anyone. Not from Joe Biden. Whether he will succeed in his adventure and how long the turmoil he seems committed to causing may last, well, it’s immeasurable. It won’t work because there is no international setting for it. But how much could it cost?
This story that we need to stop talking about so as not to naturalize the coup is bullshit. False. It is necessary to acknowledge the indications that the President appears willing to interrupt the electoral process if the polls insist on indicating that the president will be defeated. One of the obvious ways of the bad loser is to incite the uprising, already called by Flávio Bolsonaro in all letters, to lead to military intervention, who knows, under the guise of “law and order” and “Constitutional Forces”. “According to Article 142 of the Constitution. One tries to produce evil in order to offer a cure. After all, Bolsonaro, in the same article, will be able to remind the Armed Forces’ status as “high commander”, not defeated.
The plot is lazy and brutally clear. And why is it necessary to understand what is going on? For the organization of democratic forces against irrationalist violence.
“Oh, but the elections are far away… What if there is a turning point?”
The question is meaningless. Or does Bolsonaro only accept the elections he has won?
There’s no use in disguise: The president has taken the coup to a new level, despite “chemistry with Biden,” and democracy needs to be realigned.
