One hundred days with nothing.
We are facing a government that does not govern, but only points out the errors and weaknesses of previous administrations, in order to mask and divert attention from its own poor public management.
Today I would like to write extensively about the first hundred days of the government that deceived the people, promising a better world, a government that dashed the last hopes of a people punished for six years by an endless economic crisis.
I would like to praise a president who seems more like a poorly made Xerox copy of Fernando Collor, that "Hunter of Maharajas," who fell because he was one of them...
I don't need to go far to say that accepting a president who said that "Militiamen are welcome in his office," who was a friend and neighbor of one of the murderers of City Councilor Marielle Franco, and who was the only one who didn't express his dismay at her death, is an almost superhuman task.
I wish I could be here and say that the new president, in one hundred days, at least did his homework in Health and Education, and not relentlessly persecute the leftists who remained in essential positions in those departments...
I would like to commend a president who would issue a decree that, at the very least, would benefit people's lives, and not one that is almost always reversed.
Discussing the merits of someone labeled a Communist simply for opposing the far-right and ridiculous president is the same as labeling all his allies and supporters as fascists, a rhetoric that will lead nowhere.
Why, instead of trying to justify the inexperience of a president who governs directly from Twitter with his three sons, do his allies not see and accept the unpreparedness of the airport candidate, who seems to have only now realized that the election is over and he was elected to the highest office in the Brazilian Republic?
How can one praise a president who is more concerned with the sexuality of LGBTQ+ people than with human life, taken as in the case of the eighty cinematic shots fired at the black musician from Rio de Janeiro as he was going to a baby shower with his family?
How can we trust a president who wants to impose a dictatorship of bullets and fear, forged as a fight against urban violence and protected under the shield of the Armed Forces?
One hundred days of promises like eliminating ministries and merging departments, which have changed nothing in people's lives.
One hundred days without any major infrastructure projects.
One hundred days with the same chaos in health and education.
One hundred days without generating jobs other than those in the appointed positions that were created.
One hundred days of changing ministers like changing diets.
One hundred days demonstrating his intellectual inability to govern, disguised as incessant attacks on his opponents.
One hundred days presenting his three children as authorities, assistants, advisors, and direct collaborators, important, fundamental, and indispensable for him to govern, even though each one was elected to different branches of the Republic.
One hundred days without arguments to defend his outlandish ideas, which have been harshly criticized both inside and outside this country.
In summary, we can say that not only is President Bolsonaro's popularity and credibility plummeting, but so is the patience of his voters, the legislature, the judiciary, the armed forces, and his opponents. What could this result in? A swifter, more robust, and necessary impeachment process than all those that preceded it.
Nobody can endure another 3 months of recession, rising fuel prices, and measures that don't improve people's lives.
Bolsonaro managed to charm voters who would never have voted for him, whether out of protest, disillusionment, lack of options, revolt, or even hope for better days. But he has also been disenchanting them at a much faster pace, almost like lightning, than he ever imagined...
They removed Collor for a simple Fiat Elba, Dilma for fiscal maneuvers that never actually happened. Now imagine the number of real reasons that President Bolsonaro has provided in such a short time, which are extremely relevant and compelling for initiating his impeachment process?
If this country were a serious nation, I state unequivocally that the "inconclusive dealings" of the Bolsonaro family with former driver/advisor Fabricio de Queiroz in the media (meaning before his inauguration) were sufficient grounds for postponing his presidency and opening a criminal investigation.
We are facing a government that does not govern, but only points out the errors and weaknesses of previous administrations, in order to mask and divert attention from its own poor public management.
The President and his familial parliamentary system have already shown that they are not capable of perpetuating themselves in power. It is primarily up to the Chamber of Deputies and the Senate, as well as the higher courts, to do their homework and ensure that democracy – hard-won during 21 years of dictatorship – remains the main and most important pillar of our Republic.
Out with the Bolsonaros yesterday, today, tomorrow, and forever, because Brazil deserves a leader who truly honors power, the presidential sash, the pen, and the mandate, who was democratically elected by and for the people, and not someone who plays at being a fortified warrior, with golden showers and attacks on those who disagree with his actions.
We live in a country where the greatest icon of democracy, the eternal president of the people Luis Inácio Lula da Silva, has been imprisoned for 1 years, while 90% of the real criminals from the infamous Operation Lava Jato are enjoying their thefts, wearing ankle monitors, free and at ease in their homes.
One hundred days without a government, how long will Brazilians have to endure this?
I just hope I never have to hear #BringBackTemer or #BringBackCollor, because #BringBackDilma or #BringBackLula, as long as this situation doesn't change, the people will never tire of shouting.
