The president of the, endorsed on Saturday (22) the thesis widespread without proof by supporters of () that American NGOs funded “electoral fraud in Brazil”.
The accusation that is in the view of USAID, the target of attacks and dismantling of the president, has no foundation, but has become a narrative of the right and has served to move the foundations of the Republican and Bolsonaro.
Milei’s statement was given at CPAC, the world’s largest conservative conference, which took place on the outskirts of Washington.
“The multiple NGOs, which live from our taxes, from culture subsidies to produce propaganda and here, the USAID scandal, which allocated millions of dollars of tax payers to finance magazines and television channels, electoral frauds such as Brazil or in Brazil or Governments with discriminatory aspirations such as South Africa, “said Milei.
“Among many other aberrations, including the climate paranoia agenda, the excesses of gender ideology and the research that resulted in the creation of the Covid-19 virus,” complained Milei, who was widely applauded by the conservative audience.
One of the main propagators of the theory, Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP) was also at CPAC and was named Nominally by Trump during the Republican’s speech at the conference. The president praised the figure of Milei and thanked the presence of representatives from the world right, including Eduardo.
“Eduardo Bolsonaro, say hello to your father, big guy, big family,” said Trump.
The motto that there was fraud in the elections was used by Bolsonaro even before losing the dispute in 2022 to try to get around his defeat, the same one who made Trump, being defeated in 2020.
In recent weeks, the US President has ordered the funds to USAID and determined his employees to leave. Meanwhile, pockets and trumpkers took the opportunity to promote the discourse linking the agency to a false scheme that would involve the president and the Democrat.
It was founded in 1961 by President John F. Kennedy and offers financial aid, such as the implementation of health programs and in relief to catastrophes.
Created during the Cold War, it was also part of a “Soft Power” strategy to promote a positive image of the United States.
As, the case of arrived in Brazil after a video conversation recorded between the ideologist, former counselor of Trump, and Mike Benz, former state department employee and director of an NGO against censorship.
In the video, Benz stated that the agency spent “tens of thousands of dollars” funding projects that they pressured for the approval of laws against misinformation in the Brazilian Congress. He also accused Usaid funded lawyers who worked with the TSE (Superior Electoral Court) to repress Bolsonaro’s tweets and messages in applications such as WhatsApp.
Then pockets began to spread the thesis, reaching wide engagement in the networks. Deputy Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP), responsible for the main post about the case in Brazil, reinforced the speech during the participation in CPAC this week.
