Sakamoto: Insanity calling for a military coup attempts to parasitize the truckers' strike.

According to journalist Leonardo Sakamoto, "the saddest thing is knowing that the fanatics who long for the military dictatorship" were "fueled by Michel Temer himself, who moved the Armed Forces from the barracks to the center of power in an attempt to compensate for his lack of legitimacy."

247 "The anti-democratic agenda attempts to ride the wave of the strike movement through groups of truck drivers sympathetic to the idea of ​​a 'military intervention' (i.e., a coup) and individuals who have no connection to the category but were summoned by far-right groups. This is happening both in roadblocks and on the shoulders of highways, as well as on WhatsApp," writes journalist Leonardo Sakamoto. "But the crazy, crude, and deranged coup agenda is far from being a common opinion among striking truck drivers," he adds.

According to the journalist, "the saddest thing is knowing that the fanatics who long for the military dictatorship (and its torture devices and electric chairs, its arbitrary arrests and habeas corpus turned to trash, its overpriced mega-projects and attempts at indigenous genocide, its protests ended with arrests and strikes finished with bullets, its special pensions for daughters of military personnel and its allocation of positions to friends, its deforestation and its rampant slave labor, its high external debt) were fueled by Michel Temer himself, who removed the Armed Forces from the barracks to the center of power in an attempt to compensate for their lack of legitimacy."

"Meanwhile, institutions are fragmenting. If he doesn't resolve the crisis quickly and prevent it from fueling other similar crises, which would create new waves for anti-democrats to ride, Michel Temer risks having to sacrifice himself in the face of a country rendered unviable. For example, convinced by a deal not to be arrested for corruption soon after leaving power. Because history shows that there is no power vacuum."
