Folha: Temer, Aécio and Aloysio Nunes have learned nothing.
In an editorial published this Sunday, Folha de S. Paulo states that Michel Temer acted "improperly" by pressuring Marcelo Calero to approve an illegal construction project to favor Geddel Vieira Lima; Folha also criticizes the PSDB (Brazilian Social Democracy Party) members who defended Geddel; "It should also be recalled that there was a widespread chorus of support for Geddel Vieira Lima, sung by PSDB senators such as Aloysio Nunes and Aécio Neves. What we have seen from some politicians in recent days leads to a harsh conclusion. They have learned nothing. They don't want to know anything. They don't care about anything."
247 - In an editorial published this Sunday, Folha de S. Paulo states that Michel Temer acted "improperly" by pressuring Marcelo Calero to approve an illegal construction project in order to favor Geddel Vieira Lima.
"The shameless episode of indifference between public interest and private convenience (the PMDB member acquired an apartment in the building in question) mobilized the President of the Republic himself, who improperly recommended intervention by the Attorney General's Office in a deadlock where the arrogance of an authority was confronting the opinion of a technical body," the text says.
"This culminated in a week in which all sorts of suspicious actions, evidence of crime, displays of cynicism, and open provocation were thrown in the face of public opinion."
Folha also criticizes the members of the PSDB party who came out in defense of Geddel.It is also worth recalling the widespread chorus of support for Geddel Vieira Lima, sung by PSDB senators such as Aloysio Nunes and Aécio Neves. What we have seen from some politicians in recent days leads to a harsh conclusion. "They learned nothing. They don't want to know anything. They don't care about anything," the editorial says.
"The Michel Temer government seems to have gathered around it a large group of seasoned experts in political maneuvering, obfuscation, authoritarianism, and deceit, orchestrating itself in harmony with a Congress that barely survives amidst criminal investigations with no end in sight." They are deluding themselves if they imagine that, after the impeachment, society is willing to passively watch the renewed spectacle of patrimonialism, impunity, and corruption. When the crisis of the State threatens to deepen, it is time to reiterate that tolerance for the old habits of politics has ended.
