The media outlets that spearheaded the coup against Dilma Rousseff have been abandoned by the PSDB.
Guided by FHC (Fernando Henrique Cardoso), the party president, Bruno Araújo, announced the PSDB's (Brazilian Social Democracy Party) position in favor of "Bolsonaro staying," generating dismay among those who led the coup attempt.
247 - This Sunday's newspapers opened with columns marked by the dismay of communication professionals who helped lead the 2016 coup against former President Dilma Rousseff, based on a narrative anchored in widespread "fake news": that the "fiscal maneuvers" would break the Brazilian economy. Four years have passed, that "confidence" has not yet returned, and all economic and social indicators, without exception, have worsened since the coup orchestrated by the PSDB against Brazilian democracy was set in motion.
This Sunday, journalist Vera Magalhães, who has been a target of Bolsonaro's fascist supporters, said that "We have failed as a country"In her column in the Estado de S. Paulo newspaper, Eliane Cantanhêde also states in the same newspaper that the attacks by Bolsonaro and his generals on democratic institutions... They give you chills.In Globo, Miriam Leitão, one of the architects of the "fiscal irresponsibility" narrative, shows she's at her limit and says it won't be possible. to endure another two and a half years of Bolsonaro.
These positions demonstrate the growing discomfort of the corporate press with Bolsonarism – especially its professionals, who become targets of the so-called "hate cabinet" when they dare to criticize the advance of the neo-fascist project. The big problem is that the PSDB, which led the 2016 coup conspiracy, yesterday announced its full opposition to impeachment, through an interview with its president Bruno Araújo. In practice, the media that led the coup against Dilma has been abandoned, with little ammunition, on the battlefront against Bolsonarism.
