Poetic irony: General says military will stage a coup against the coup plotters.

An active Army general named Antonio Hamilton Mourão stated, in a lecture promoted by Freemasonry in Brasília last Friday (15), that there will be “military intervention” if the Judiciary “does not solve the political problem”, in reference to the corruption of politicians.

The general in question says that "the military will have to impose this." And what's even more serious is that he said that "The Army High Command assesses that it is not yet the time for action," but that it "may occur after successive approaches."

"Either the institutions solve the political problem, through the action of the Judiciary, removing from public life these elements involved in all the illegal activities, or else we will have to impose it, and the Army has very well-laid plans."

The statements of an unremarkable military officer like this gained prominence simply because he is on active duty and spoke on behalf of the "high command" of the Armed Forces. In practice, this becomes halfway to consolidating a military coup, complete with tanks in the streets, etc.

Before delving into this matter, however, it's worth understanding what Mourão was talking about. The question was posed by the event organizers, a Masonic lodge, an ultra-reactionary and widely known fascist institution that brings together wealthy but profoundly ignorant, illiterate, and fanatical people.
