Political scientist sees Public Prosecutor's Office and Judiciary in command of the crisis: "lieutenants in robes"
Political scientist Luiz Werneck Vianna sees members of the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Judiciary as manipulators of the political crisis in the country; "These things are not happening naturally. They are not spontaneous processes. At this point, in my view, there is no doubt that there is an intelligence orchestrating this mess. This mess is provoked and manipulated with skill."
247 - Political scientist Luiz Werneck Vianna, from the Pontifical Catholic University (PUC) of Rio de Janeiro, sees members of the Public Prosecutor's Office and the Judiciary as manipulators of the political crisis in the country. Vianna states that prosecutors and judges are "lieutenants in robes." These statements were made in... interview with the newspaper O Estado de S.Paulo.
“This uproar is skillfully provoked and manipulated,” he says, commenting on the disclosure of corruption cases involving politicians. Vianna uses the expression “lieutenants in robes” in comparison to the young military officers of the 1920s – but, he cites that, unlike the uniformed revolutionaries of the past, those of today have no program beyond a “moral reform” of the country.
"These things aren't happening naturally. They aren't spontaneous processes. At this point, in my view, there's no doubt that there's an intelligence organizing this chaos. This chaos is skillfully provoked and manipulated."
