After unanimous decision of the first class of (Supreme Federal Court), it becomes a defendant, along with seven others, under. Palver monitoring indicates that users of the right -wing public groups were already prepared for the outcome.
The discursive line in this field has been prepared since December. The argument is that the STF and are partial and are not promoting a fair trial against the former president.
The mentions to Bolsonaro reached the second largest peak of the year, behind only the day the protests in Copacabana took place on March 16. Upon completion of the trial this afternoon (26), the former president sent a text on WhatsApp channel and asked his followers to share. In the groups analyzed by Palver, the text circulated among right users.
The narrative of an unfair judgment is fed by a series of videos and texts that seek to minimize. Bolsonaro himself has participated in several interviews and podcasts in recent months always arguing that those arrested for the attacks are “poor” and that they have only made a riot.
For this reason, part of users in WhatsApp groups circulated this afternoon an excerpt from the trial in which. In filming, it is possible to identify the violence used to pierce police blocks and invade the buildings of the three powers.
To reinforce the sense of judgment of the judgment, right -wing users shared a series of group videos, seeking to link to alleged financial crimes abroad and involvement with pedophilia, Both accusations on which there is no evidence.
In attacks against Moraes, there are also videos trying to associate and alleged investigations against the minister. The main message is that “there is a bomb about to explode” and that “the time (from Moraes) are told.”
There is also an attempt to promote fear and sense of urgency in the population to act and mobilize. Several videos, identified by Palver’s algorithms as possibly automated, have been disseminated in the groups stating that Bolsonaro’s arrest will result in social chaos.
In one of the most circulated videos, a man dressed in Brazil’s shirt speaks aggressive and inciting violence, reinforcing that if Bolsonaro is arrested, Brazil will end up. Other videos in the same line were produced to indicate that truckers would block the roads. However, in the monitoring of Palver it was not possible to identify any such articulation occurring in the public groups of WhatsApp e.
In leftist groups, users using memes and joking images. In one of the more intense memes, there is a photo of Bolsonaro sitting watching the trial and a photo of the former president, along with the caption: “Bolsonaro sitting at the defendants’ bench/Dilma sitting at the BRICS Bank.”
The left, therefore, reacted spontaneously and diffusely to Bolsonaro’s judgment, while the right remained firm in the thesis of persecution and injustice, adding new types of attacks against Alexandre de Moraes in an attempt to achieve his reputation and reduce the strength of his decisions.
