Reinaldo points to Bolsonaro's political responsibility for the deaths in Suzano.
"What does President Jair Bolsonaro have to do with the tragedy at the school in Suzano? Everything!", states the journalist; "Of course, he cannot be held responsible for the reckless act of two people. This is not about criminal liability, but about political responsibility," he adds.
247 - Journalist Reinaldo Azevedo points to the political responsibility of President Jair Bolsonaro, who during the campaign posed with gun gestures in his hands and, once in the Presidency, is responsible for easing gun ownership laws for the population. "What does President Jair Bolsonaro have to do with the tragedy at the school in Suzano? Everything!" says Reinaldo, on his blog"Of course, he cannot be held responsible for the reckless act of two people. This is not about criminal liability, but about political responsibility," he added.
According to Reinaldo Azevedo, Bolsonaro's speech "is at the root of the problem. If it weren't, he would have spoken out immediately. But with what face?" The president took a position. (via Twitter) just seven hours after the tragedy. "Regarding a guy urinating on another, vulgar proselytizing; regarding the massacre at a school, silence. The tweet about the urination had 177 characters without spaces. The part of the Planalto statement that refers to the dead and their families, 170. Discounting, in this case, the generic heading and the offer made to São Paulo, the federative entity, which was not shot," Reinaldo compared, referring to the Carnival post.
The columnist also recalls the statements made by Bolsonaro to journalists this morning, hours before the tragedy in Suzano, when he announced his intention to present a proposal to Congress to ease gun ownership laws. "And there, yes, lies a great danger," he assesses. "His unfortunate statements were made shortly before the tragedy in Suzano, which demonstrates that events are beginning to catch up with Bolsonaro's nonsense. There's nothing mystical about it. It's just that tragedies do happen. And they particularly pursue those who spout the most foolishness," he emphasizes.
