Manuela confronts Bretas for calling in the military.
Presidential pre-candidate Manuela D'Ávila (PCdoB) criticized federal judge Marcelo Bretas, who advocated for the intervention of the Armed Forces to end the national truckers' strike; "This tweeting judge recently said that the solution for the country was not in 'provisional public agents'. Now he is calling for the Armed Forces. A provisional public agent, in other words, is one who is democratically elected by the people, whose power is legitimized by elections," Manuela posted on her Twitter account.
247 - Presidential pre-candidate Manuela D'Ávila (PCdoB) criticized federal judge Marcelo Bretas, who advocated for the intervention of the Armed Forces to end the national truckers' strike. "This tweeting judge recently said that the solution for the country wasn't in 'temporary public agents'. Now he's calling for the Armed Forces. A temporary public agent, in other words, is someone who is democratically elected by the people, whose power is legitimized by elections," Manuela posted on her Twitter account.
Earlier, Bretas had posted that "the Armed Forces are permanent and regular national institutions, and are intended for the defense of the Fatherland (Art. 142, CF), whatever the enemies of Brazil may be."
According to Manuela, "the reference to 'whoever the enemies of Brazil may be' seems to refer to the old thesis of internal enemies. Authoritarian appeals are growing. It is necessary to mobilize democratic forces and show that there is no way out for Brazil that does not involve clean elections and the popular vote."
