While he intends to grit his teeth in a definitive show of strength, the Republic’s biggest fraudster, Jair Bolsonaro, is showing his growing isolation in the military environment as well. Attention: yes, it remains a perverse and dangerous element for democracy. This is why the Charter is so important for upholding the rule of law, which already has more than 500,000 signatures. But why do I say pretending to show strength shows weakness? We’ll see.
This Saturday, he attended a political event in São Paulo at the Norte Expo Center that brought together two party conventions: National for the Republicans and state for the PTB. Thus, Tarcísio de Freitas and Eduardo Cunha joined the president on the same platform. One will be the state government candidate for the first party, and the other will be the federal parliamentary candidate for the second party. In the presence of Cunha, “Mito” dared to speak on the fight against corruption… Note: Brazilian politicians beware! Try to deceive the people of São Paulo when the electorate of their state of birth and residence shows no interest in them. Who knows… Let’s get to the last bit of bullshit.
In a speech in which the STF lied once again about its performance in the pandemic, the president announced that he would be present at the September 7 military parade in Brasília. This is tradition. He then referred to Rio as follows:
“For the first time, we want to innovate in Rio de Janeiro. [que fosse] here [em São Paulo], but we want to innovate in Rio de Janeiro. On September 7, at 16.00, our Armed Forces and Brothers Auxiliary Forces made their debut for the first time. [PM e Corpo de Bombeiros] He will parade with our people on Copacabana Beach. Our Rio de Janeiro, the postcard of Brazil, a state ally of all of us, ally of the economy of São Paulo, let’s show that our people have a right rather than want, and demand peace, democracy, transparency and freedom” .
LET’S UNDERSTAND PATUSCADA
The military parade at 7 de Setembro in Rio always takes place in the center of the city, on Avenida Presidente Vargas. Bolsonaro is the Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces under the Constitution. Can it determine that the action took place elsewhere? He can.
According to him, he moves the event to Copacabana, exactly where his gang’s coup d’etat was supposed to take place. Do you understand the game? They are challenging friendships as they realize that their attempt to outrun the electoral process or ignore poll results less and less resonates with the military: It wants to relocate the parade to simulate loyalty to a party. no blow today..
The jester is making a scene. His supporters will attack the STF and the electoral system, especially if the polls continue to point to a possible victory for Lula and the uniformed parade will then be proof of the barracks’ commitment to armed intervention? “peace, democracy, transparency and freedom”.
Note that he involuntarily denounced that he eventually tried to set up a circus in São Paulo. But it seems to have met resistance. In the state, the so-called “auxiliary forces” (MP and firefighters) are subordinate to the Public Safety Secretariat, headed by the retired general João Camilo Pires de Campos, who does not belong to the Bolsonary circle. One of the stars of this Saturday’s event was Tarcísio de Freitas, who was openly debating the state’s right-wing vote with his re-election candidate, Rodrigo Garcia.
SCAMS IN SCAMS
The coup suffered some blows, bowing before those who rejected word games like this clerk.
One of the biggest is the mass participation of citizens from a wide range of sectors in the “Letter to Brazilians and Brazilians in Defense of the Democratic Rule of Law”, which has already brought together more than 500,000 signatories. Its main strength is badgeless individuals, but the fact that it brings together practically all the legal conscience of the country in addition to business heavyweights, intellectuals, journalists and artists adds one dimension to the scope of the call in favor of respect for the game. Charter. The text has the great virtue of avoiding cheap politicization and advising respect for the Constitution. Who is in the opposite direction?
There is more. The meeting, which Bolsonaro promoted with foreign ambassadors to attack the electoral system in Brazil, aroused disgust among senior officials. There is a cursed behavior for this group: politicians attacking their own country on foreign soil or to an international audience. “Unacceptable” was the mildest adjective.
There are also four very meaningful recent demonstrations by the US government in favor of respecting the rules of the game. One was loudly said to Bolsonaro by Joe Biden, who refused the help the Brazilian president had requested to defeat Lula. After the unfortunate meeting with diplomats, the US Embassy in Brazil issued a note expressing confidence in the electoral system, a position confirmed the next day by State Department spokesperson Ned Price.
During a visit to our country on Wednesday (December 27th), United States Secretary of Defense General Lloyd Austin told his Brazilian counterpart, Paulo Sérgio Nogueira, that the Biden administration expects Brazil to continue its tradition of holding fair elections. . . .
The video released by the US government was accompanied by the following text:
“Our shared democratic values are the cornerstone of our strong Defense relationship and we are committed to working together for regional and global security.”
For those who don’t get it: a coup would isolate the Brazilian Armed Forces, which would no longer rely on the cooperation of their main allies – or at least that would be greatly mitigated. The same goes for the other two democracies: France is a partner in the Navy’s nuclear program, and the Air Force has a close relationship with Sweden because of the Gripen fighters.
Read the text again: “strong Defense relationship” depends on “shared democratic values”; these are your “building blocks”.
CAN WE RELAX?
No, we cannot relax. More than ever, now yes, “the price of freedom is eternal vigilance”. Bolsonaro’s isolation in the coup d’etat exists only because it is mobilisation; because we, who are determined to defend democracy, convey the President’s coup planning bullshit to everyone and the whole world.
Just because Bolsonaro does not trust himself to participate in the coup d’etat (which would clearly be illegal), he tries to set the stage and forces the military to take part in the pantomime by force.
We are faced with another criminal liability crime defined in Law No. 1079. But we know it will depend on Arthur Lira’s will. Otherwise, there is no time for this. If he really cheats to get the Armed Forces to participate in a coup, the president is also committing a nasty crime. Bolsonaro is subject to Articles 359-L and 359-N of the Criminal Code, namely:
Art. 359-L. – Attempting to overthrow the Democratic Rule of Law by using violence or serious threat, by preventing or restricting the exercise of constitutional powers:
Punishment – imprisonment from 4 (four) years to 8 (eight) years in addition to the punishment corresponding to violence.
Article 359-N – To prevent or disrupt the measurement of the election or its result by unjustly violating the security mechanisms of the electronic voting system established by the Electoral Judge:
Penalty – 3 (three) years to 6 (six) years imprisonment and fine.
With the end of the performance of the duty, liability crimes are also eliminated. The Commons survive and Bolsonaro can later be held responsible for them. That’s why some gunmen are already talking about the creation of the senator for life…
CLOSING
Bolsonaro’s announcement, I repeat, emphasizes his isolation. People with your temperament and profile are even more dangerous when cornered.
Let’s never let our guard down.
