The die is cast.

 It's not yet 5 PM, the scheduled time for Minister Celso de Mello to officially announce whether he will release – in whole or in part – the video of the April 22nd meeting, but reports are already circulating that it will be released almost in its entirety, with only the sections containing insults against other countries, such as China, being suppressed. This means we will be able to watch practically everything that happened.

  Starting tonight and throughout the weekend, the video will be broadcast extensively across Globo's programming, the network most interested in removing Bolsonaro from power for obvious reasons: it is the target of his death threats.

  Besides her, the main parties interested in Bolsonaro's downfall are, of course, General Mourão, who would assume power; Moro, who would remove his main opponent in 2022 from the picture; and the Armed Forces, who would have a more well-behaved military man in the presidency, albeit one with the same anti-democratic and authoritarian ideas.

  But there is no doubt that he would not cause as much damage to the image of the military as Bolsonaro, mainly because he doesn't have three sons entangled with the justice system, isn't a friend of Olavo de Carvalho, and doesn't run the "hate cabinet."

  Globo, above all, but also most of the media that can no longer tolerate this government, will amplify the video until the proposal for a Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry into Bolsonaro's interference in the Federal Police becomes inevitable, and if that happens, from then on the episode will turn into a snowball rolling downhill.

  Alea jacta is.
