Bolsonaro discovers he doesn't govern alone.
In the political crisis led by the Minister of the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, Gustavo Bebianno, President Jair Bolsonaro expected the resignation of his teammate, but he and his son Carlos Bolsonaro (PSL) "found themselves isolated in the face of the tide of solidarity with the minister, and had to withdraw their troops"; analysis by journalist Marco Damiani.
247 - In the political crisis led by the Minister of the General Secretariat of the Presidency of the Republic, Gustavo Bebianno, President Jair Bolsonaro expected the resignation of his teammate, but is beginning to realize that the administration goes far beyond the words of the head of the Planalto Palace. Bebianno is suspected of having authorized the release of R$ 400 in public funds from the party fund to a "dummy" candidate of the PSL party. In a meeting at the Planalto Palace, the Chief of Staff, Onyx Lorenzoni, told Bebianno that he would remain in the government, as reported by the Folha de S.Paulo newspaper.
O journalist Marco Damiani reinforces this on the BR 2 Pontos website., which, "in corroborating the filial initiative, the president, for a moment, thought that it would be enough to simply await a letter of dismissal or, at most, to use a Bic pen to do his own bidding."
"Neither one thing nor the other happened, because the political world, including members of the Executive branch itself, such as General Mourão, and the Legislative branch, prominently represented by the Speaker of the House, Rodrigo Maia, and the association between media and public observation, translated into the voices of influential columnists and editorials from traditional media outlets, did not allow Bolsonaro to do what he wanted to do: to humiliatingly remove Bebbiano from the Presidential Palace," he said.
"It was instructive. The president and his son Carluxo were isolated in the face of the tide of solidarity with the minister, and had to withdraw their troops. In this less belligerent position, it is expected that the president will now settle down, otherwise, as he realized, he risks losing ground quickly and receiving ungovernability as payment for his outbursts," he added.
