The current cycle of brand promotions is the arrival of the classmates of the Governor’s (Republicans) of the Negulos Needles’ Military Academy).
The rise of the new generals coincides with the moment when the governor’s name begins to appear with, in a scenario of succession of () in the right leadership in 2026.
Publicly, Tarcisio denies this possibility, but is seen from the political world as the most viable name.
The sword delivery ceremony to the new general officers takes place this Thursday (7) in Brasilia. It is an internal event of centenary tradition, in which the promoted military confirms their promotion and fraternizing with colleagues and family members.
Tarcisio decided to honor the former colleagues and will attend the ceremony. The presence of authorities in the delivery of swords, usually restricted to families and army members, is uncommon. The commanders of the three Armed Forces and the Minister of Defense are invited ,.
Tarcisio entered the Army Cadet Preparatory School in 1992. He was part of the bicentennial class of Inconfidência Mineira – the largest formed until that moment.
He graduated from Aman in 1996 and went on his military career for another 12 years, when he decided to leave his uniform to enter the civil service. The comrade of army times, however, followed in WhatsApp groups and periodic meetings informally organized by former colleagues.
In the army, the governor graduated from IME (Military Institute of Engineering) in 2002 and headed the Technical Section of the theme. He also acted on the United Nations mission in Haiti between 2005 and 2006. When he left the barracks, he was a captain.
Despite leaving the Armed Forces for almost 20 years, it has a strong bond with the military. Sao Paulo State General Controller Wagner Rosario was also a colleague of Aman and Esplanada in the Bolsonaro government.
The governor was not part of the military nucleus in past management, nor is investigated in the investigation that investigates the coup plot, in the Supreme Court (STF).
Tarcisio will take advantage of the agenda in Brasilia to meet other right -wing governors. He had also scheduled a lunch with former President Jair Bolsonaro. The plans changed after house arrest decreed by Alexandre de Moraes.
The governor asked to visit his political godfather – the authorization, until Wednesday night, had not been granted.
Tarcisio always takes advantage of his trips to Brasilia to meet Bolsonaro. Interlocutors defended the meeting as a way of providing solidarity, support and receiving guidance from the former president.
If authorized, the visit will take place at a good time, especially after Tarcisio is the target of criticism from the pockets for lacking the demonstration on Paulista Avenue last Sunday and even made any statement about the movement.
The gesture was misunderstood by Bolsonaro allies, criticized in a speech in the sound car by Pastor Silas Malafaia and the target of indirect children of former President Eduardo (PL-SP) and Flávio Bolsonaro (PL-RJ).
HAS Sheetthe senator classified the absence of right -wing governors as a “giant strategic error.” He stated that this is the moment when he sees who is willing to “rescue our democracy with us”.
In the army, there are four promotion windows for the military of the Tarcisio class to reach the Generalato. It is the main funnel of the career – most of the colleagues will not be promoted and will pass the reserve as a colonel.
The first wave promoted 16 brigade generals, the first of three levels within the generalate. They should only compete for the fourth star, the top of their career in eight years.
The army played an important role in consolidating the candidacy of former President Jair Bolsonaro from 2014 to 2018. The retired captain left the army during a conflict with the Force Summit, made the low-patent military personnel and managed to get closer to the generals after defending the Armed Forces in the National Congress.
The rise of a right -wing conservative movement had General Eduardo Villas Bôas as one of the army’s exponents. The former commander was also one of those responsible for the politicization of the Armed Forces-on the eve of the judgment of a habeas corpus filed by Lula.
The political action of the army and its members, who helped in the election of Bolsonaro, was asphyxiated by the current commander Tomás Paiva. The general distanced the strength from political discussions waged in Brasilia and stressed that the role of the military is intramuros.
Tarcisio’s good relationship with the future army summit is expected to be not decisive for his possible candidacy for the Presidency of the Republic as it was with Bolsonaro.
