Jair Messias Bolsonaro is a defendant!
"It remains to be seen who will inherit the spoils of the far right, but we already have a reasonable idea of what will happen," says Luis Filipe Chateaubriand.
There's no crying or mourning.
Jair Messias Bolsonaro is a defendant!
It must be said that the former president of the Republic got what he deserved, because an attempted coup d'état is something extremely serious, inconceivable, and totally incompatible with democracy.
Wanting to kill Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, Geraldo Alckmin, and Alexandre de Moraes is a coup!
Inciting demonstrations like those of January 08, 2023, is a coup!
To call upon the commanders of the Army, Air Force, and Navy for an institutional insurrection is a coup!
Moreover, it is worth highlighting the courage of General Freire Gomes, then commander of the Army, who dismissed the possibility of an attack on the rule of law and even threatened the young man with the possibility of arrest.
The news, for Bolsonaro's die-hard supporters, is terrible, but true.
Jair Messias Bolsonaro has already been condemned.
The reasoning is elementary: if he were not guilty, the Supreme Federal Court would not accept the complaint from the Attorney General's Office.
If he accepted it, it's because he acquiesced.
The upcoming trial aims solely to determine what sentence Jair Messias Bolsonaro and his associates should serve.
Thus, Jair Messias Bolsonaro's political death has undoubtedly been decreed.
It remains to be seen who will inherit the spoils of the far right, but we already have a reasonable idea of what will happen.
Isn't that right, Governor Tarcísio de Freitas?
One thing is certain: relieved, serene, and with a clear conscience, millions of Brazilians await the outcome of this slapstick comedy – a comedy that has cost, and continues to cost, the country dearly since a false stabbing was allegedly carried out.
