SP 247- Federal deputy Paulo Teixeira (PT-SP) sent a message to the Army commander, General Villas Boas, after he agreed with the Minister of Defense, Raul Jungmann, that there will be no punishment for active general Antonio Hamilton Martins Mourão, who, in a lecture last Friday (15), at a Masonic Lodge, in Brasília, defended the possibility of military intervention, given the political crisis that is taking over the country.
"Mourão's speech cannot stand," said the congressman.
According to the congressman, "the military dictatorship is a step backward, a return to the dark times of torture and corruption without punishment." "I tell General Vilas Boas that in the face of the coup, the path is 'Out with Temer' and 'Direct Elections Now'," he said.
