President Jair Bolsonaro held a stand-up horror show this Monday (18) to tell stories about the electronic voting machine. The target audience is its voters, not just foreign ambassadors invited to ensure the show’s credibility. It would be better to bring together residents from the slums of Salvador or Belo Horizonte to explain why milk is no longer enough, reaching R$10 in some places.
Since Bolsonaro is already considered a global pariah for his anti-environmental policy, micareta with foreign representatives should make a scratch on a pitted and pitted pan. However, as in his historic speeches at the United Nations, the real target is not them, but internal public opinion.
Embassies have long sent telegrams to their capitals about Bolsonaro’s conspiracy theories and have been the subject of reports by world reporters about lies that never made a fuss about our voting system. They may listen to the agent respectfully, but they are not suckers.
Except for countries with governments operating on the same frequency as Jair, Brazilians abroad are known to copy Donald Trump’s steps and coup attempt (unlikely, there are armies making coup speeches here). That is, any analysis that will emerge abroad on the subject will take into account his interest in casting doubt on the election so that he can stir things up if everything goes wrong.
Ever since the president announced that he would host the event, he has succeeded in producing an abundance of spontaneous and free media, occupying the space of traditional means of communication. This highlights the inflation of the prices of beans, French bread and milk, which are already being replaced by water (contaminated with pesticides, of course) on the Brazilian table.
At the same time, Jair informs his audience that he is informing the world of an ongoing coup carried out by the opposition and the Electoral Judge, who not only does not recognize the outcome of the ballot boxes and loses if he wants to, but also reduces respect for judicial decisions in the campaign.
Besides serving as a perfect smokescreen for real problems, attacks on the electronic voting machine as well as the Supreme Electoral Court and the Federal Supreme Court are eroding the internal credibility of institutions.
If a Martian fell in a flying saucer these days, he would think that Brazil’s worst enemy is not inflation, hunger, unemployment, debt, but a white plastic box with a small screen, number pad and green button. “confirms”. Because most of the president’s energy is spent demonizing the little box and the institutions that protect it.
Although R$600 of the new Auxílio Brasil doesn’t buy a basket of staples in most parts of the country, the inflation situation should improve slightly during the election, according to a poll by Dieese. With this, Jair Bolsonaro will adopt his speech as proof that this development has overcome the problems of the economy and that Brazil needs four more years to grow. As much as you set up a bomb that will explode next year.
The lie will stick to many, as you always have an old slipper for a tired foot. It doesn’t have to be everyone, just enough to qualify for the second round.
However, if the increases are more controlled, prices will remain at such a high level that it cannot be predicted how many people will fall into presidential chaos, forget the hell they live in and vote for him. How many millions of dollars will he carry to the voting booth? Debt that will turn into a monster until the election, remembering that the President is responsible for the nightmare.
In a country where cafeterias sell picanha-free picanha sandwiches and rib-less ribs, it makes sense for the president elected by electronic ballot box to distrust the electronic ballot box. Jair Bolsonaro has already made it clear that any voting system that does not show itself as a winner is fraudulent.
Therefore, it is no coincidence that those who participated in the coup plotters demanded the closure of the STF, the arrest of TSE ministers and, of course, a new AI-5 in the name of freedom of expression. After all, they want freedom for everyone except those who disagree with their own truth.
However, it is paradigmatic that none of them, whether the president or his followers, have demanded a Brazil where steak is sirloin, ribs are ribs, democracy is democracy and milk is not a luxury item. A Brazil that doesn’t threaten TSE and STF by beating it like a dead cat.
