Reinaldo: Alcolumbre's election was a 'Pyrrhic victory' for Bolsonaro supporters.
Journalist Reinaldo Azevedo observes that Davi Alcolumbre's election to preside over the Senate was nothing more than a "Pyrrhic victory," where the cost of victory is greater than the cost of defeat; "For those who still haven't understood: the government will have less influence in the Senate than it would have with Renan in command," and that now "reform in the Senate has become more difficult and more expensive. If the thinking generals and Guedes are worried, if the PT celebrates, and if Onyx experiences a purely personal victory, since he took a beating in the Chamber and wanted to compensate, well, it's impossible to say that the government won," he states.
247 - Journalist Reinaldo Azevedo observes that "there must be some very strong reason why, at this moment, the military in the government—the reserve generals—and Paulo Guedes are not at all happy with what happened in the Senate." Alcolumbre only had half the Senate votes—well, maybe a little more. Of the 42, as I've already stated, five are from Rede, for example, an opposition party, and eight are from PSDB. We only know this because the Supreme Court's decision was ignored. Some of those who announced their vote for the precarious and coup-plotting winner until yesterday were less interested in Onyx—and there were some—than in the patrols of social media," Reinaldo points out on his blog on the website. RedeTV.
"For those who still haven't understood: the government will have less influence in the Senate than it would have with Renan in charge. Let's be clear, those who truly wanted the Bolsonaro government to fail were hoping for the defeat of the PMDB senator. Does that mean it will all go wrong? Not necessarily. But it means everything will become more difficult. The world isn't flat, as fools assume. And the Earth isn't a disc. It's no coincidence that, behind their backs, generals and Guedes were rooting for Renan," observes the journalist.
"The reform in the Senate has become more difficult and more expensive. If the thinking generals and Guedes are worried, if the PT is celebrating, and if Onyx is experiencing a purely personal victory, since he took a beating in the Chamber and wanted to compensate, well, you can't say that the government won," he adds.
