247 - General Alberto dos Santos Cruz, former minister and former ally of Jair Bolsonaro (PL), criticized the possible resignation of the commanders of the Armed Forces before the end of the year and the inauguration of the president-elect, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (PT). 

>>>  Anticipating commands from the Armed Forces is insubordination. 

“Command demands responsibility from start to finish. You are appointed and you have to perform your duties, you have to deal with the challenges. You have to provide the required honors, regardless of who they are for. That's how it works,” Santos Cruz told ICL Notícias, according to the journalist's column. William Amado, from Metrópoles. 

"I hope the understanding prevails that it's not personal, there's no point in making a personal interpretation. You don't do that in the military; you go with the burden and the rewards of that," he added.
