Former President Jair Bolsonaro (PL) allies have exposed an internal crack over the past few days after Donald Trump’s 50% announcement on Brazilian products.
Former Minister of Bolsonaro and Governor of Sao Paulo, Tarcísio de Freitas (Republicans) seeks to balance himself between the pockets and the economic damage of tariff for the state. However, he became the target of attacks by Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL), son of the former president who is living in the United States.
Eduardo says he does not regret pressure to retaliate Brazil. According to him, Tarcisio’s decision to negotiate with Americans is a “disrespect.” THE CNNEduardo called to try dialogue with the US embassy in Brazil.
Initially, Tarcisio himself even joined Bolsonaro’s defense speech and has now been recalibrating the route, promoting meetings between American representatives and entrepreneurs.
Another point is that if before the pockets pointed to President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva (PT) as the main guilty for the tariff, they now turn to Minister Alexandre de Moraes, rapporteur of the action at the Supreme Court (STF).
The idea is to bind the lawsuits against the former president in the court to Trump’s decision in a narrative of political persecution.
The Supreme Court follows the rite of the trial of the criminal action of the alleged coup attempt normally.
By letter, on Sunday (13), the president of the Supreme, Luís Roberto Barroso, defended the STF’s performance and said that the trial will be done “independently and based on evidence.” He also said that no one is not pursued in Brazil, including the Big Techs, another Trump accusation.
In another chapter of the clash, the Rumble Platform and Trump Media state in the United States court that Moraes issued what they consider one to block accounts in the country. Moraes’s decision took place last Friday. Therefore, after the announcement of the tariff.
Given the situation and taking advantage of the tariff’s package, the opposition in Congress runs to try to vote by Thursday (17) the amnesty project that would deliver the investigated. But the assessment of party leaders is that touching the amnesty now would be to give in to Trump and give up national sovereignty.
Michelle Bolsonaro, former first lady, in turn, ignored any amnesty request on a letter on the weekend, although he made a number of criticism of President Lula.
