Mourão rules out coup against Lula: 'He was elected'
"The time has come for people to understand that he was elected and now he has to govern," said Hamilton Mourão.
247 - Vice President General Hamilton Mourão (Republicans) ruled out the possibility of a military intervention in Brazil, as requested by far-right Bolsonaro supporters who do not accept the election of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva to the Presidency of the Republic in the October election.
“From the moment we accepted him to participate in the game with this player, who shouldn’t have been able to participate, anything could have happened, including him winning, as he did. The time has come for people to understand that he was elected and now he has to govern,” Mourão said this Friday (2) in a telephone interview with South Gazette.
According to Mourão, a military intervention "is a move that cannot happen, because the consequences for the same population that is protesting in the streets would be terrible" and "would result in sanctions against our country."
"It's important for people to understand that we don't have the freedom to act outside of what the Constitution stipulates. This would result in sanctions against our country and, consequently, devaluation of our currency and increased interest rates and inflation, a very difficult situation," he emphasized in the interview.
