      Military inner circle distances Carlos Bolsonaro from government matters.

      247 - President Jair Bolsonaro decided to keep his son, Rio de Janeiro city councilman Carlos Bolsonaro (PSL), away from government decisions, while also informing Minister Gustavo Bebianno that he will remain in the General Secretariat of the Presidency. 

      According to journalist Tania MonteiroAccording to the newspaper Estado de S. Paulo, the agreement between Bolsonaro and the minister and his closest advisors is that Carlos will stay out of Executive branch actions and will avoid posting messages on social media that attack and criticize members of the president's team.

      However, no one in the government believes that Carlos will focus, from now on, on his work in the Rio de Janeiro City Council. "Carlos," this source observed, "is Bolsonaro's closest son and, during the campaign, successfully managed his father's social media. He continues to have 'spotters' within the Planalto Palace. One of them is his cousin Leonardo Rodrigues de Jesus, known as Léo Índio, who, although he does not hold a formal position in the Presidency, circulates with an access badge to the third and fourth floors of the palace, restricted areas, without any impediment," the report says.

      The distancing of the son nicknamed 'pitbull' comes after pressure from the military on Bolsonaro. This Thursday, the vice president, General Hamilton Mourão, gave an interview to Reuters. in which he stated, as if in a message, that the president should give his sons a "rule of order". 

      After the sort of 'peace treaty' with the military, which depended on Carlos stepping down, his son resumed his position as city councilman in Rio de Janeiro and paid tribute to Mourão: he signed a request for the vice-president to be awarded the Pedro Ernesto Medal.
