Tijolaço: 'Bolsonaro is betting on social chaos to impose a government by force'

Journalist Fernando Brito, editor of the blog Tijolaço, states that the government's inability to deal with the coronavirus is criminal and that Bolsonaro actually wants chaos. He says: "Civil Defense and the Armed Forces (...) should, at this moment, be packing hundreds of thousands of basic food baskets to be distributed in needy areas."

By Fernando Brito, from the blog Tijolaço - The Brazilian government's inability to act in an emergency is unbelievable and criminal.

Civil Defense and the Armed Forces, with all the assistance they can muster – emergency purchases are the right approach, charity is a secondary one – should, at this moment, be packing hundreds of thousands of basic food baskets to be distributed in needy areas, where the loss of income and employment is no longer a threat, but a reality.

This afternoon, Folha is showing a video with reports that food is becoming scarce and will soon run out because there is not enough money to buy it.

And it's lacking because measures favoring banks moved quickly, while those favoring workers were few, weak, and stalled due to the lack of creativity of the technocrats. Moreover, some of the "citizen" companies that loudly proclaimed their donations to the fight against the virus are, secretly, pressuring to receive their donations back as tax breaks: marketing with public money.https://www.jota.info/tributos-e-empresas/tributario/companhias-abertas-querem-deduzir-doacoes-relacionadas-ao-coronavirus-do-irpj-27032020

My cleaning lady, obviously dismissed from work, is at home, with her month's salary and vacation pay paid in advance. Her husband is a waiter, he's been fired; her daughter, an employee at a mall store, is waiting to be let go. Just as despicable as the... Havana rolls of the motorcades, only camouflaged.

What do they want? For the masses to take to the streets and loot, so they can finally show up with tanks instead of food trucks?

Because this is what it's all about when you see your children going hungry.

Will they blame the life-saving quarantine for the crimes of criminal indifference, which makes people believe that death from the virus is only a possibility, while death from hunger is a certainty, thus leading them to deliver thousands to the slaughterhouse?

Warning, this is the script for the coup.

It remains to be seen whether the Army's general officers have sunk so low as to be complicit in this monstrosity.
