Commentators Caio Coppolla and José Eduardo Cardozo discussed, on Tuesday (11), in The Great Debate (Monday to Friday, at 11 pm), if the defense minister, José Múcio, strengthens the defense of former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
Bolsonaro’s lawyer, Celso Vilardi, told the CNN which intends to include excerpts from Múcio’s interview with the Roda Viva program on Monday (11), in defense of the former president, if he is denounced by the Supreme Court (STF).
In his speech, after the result of the 2022 presidential election.
For Coppolla, there was a peaceful transition of power, without any impediment to the diploma and inauguration of President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT).
“The former president was abroad hospitalized. There was no adhesion of the Armed Forces leaders, as it was very clear, there was no blow, ”said Coppolla.
“There was not even a crime, because criminal types predict the use of violence or serious threat, which did not happen. At most, if you consider certain meetings or queries as if they were a coup plot, it would be nothing more than preparatory acts, which are not taken, at least not in this criminal type, as illicit, ”he continued.
For Cardozo, a president who is plotting a blow would not warn a minister of another government.
“What did Minister José Múcio do? In the transition he sought a former colleague of his parliament and said ‘Bolsonaro President, can you allow me that military commanders would talk to me?’ And Bolsonaro said ‘of course, I’ll allow it’. What did they expect him to do? I said ‘look, I won’t allow it. Do you know why? I’m plotting a coup, ”said Cardozo.
“Can anyone go to good logic that the President of the Republic who plots a coup d’état announce the coup d’état for the one who will be minister of defense of the other elected government? Of course not, he says “no, of course ministers talk to José Múcio” and continues the plot, “he said.
