247 - The military, one of the main bases of support for the Jair Bolsonaro government, were “shocked” by the accusations against Jair Bolsonaro made by Sérgio Moro when he left the Ministry of Justice this Friday (24). According to a report in the newspaper The State of S. PaulGeneral officers believe that Bolsonaro has become a kind of "zombie" while Moro has strengthened his political position. 

“Everything has its limits,” one of the generals told the reporter. Another military officer stated that Bolsonaro committed “suicide” and that he will likely not recover the political capital he possessed until now. According to high-ranking Army officials, the impact of Moro's accusations – that Bolsonaro attempted to interfere in the command of the Federal Police to gain access to classified reports on ongoing investigations – is “unpredictable.” 

"What is working primarily against Bolsonaro at this moment is the credibility of Sérgio Moro. Therefore, even if the government or the Presidential Palace tries to demand that the former Lava Jato judge prove what he said, Moro's credibility and his behavior carry much more weight and speak for themselves," the report highlights.
