Is the date conducive to renewing a question without satisfactory answer to this day: and if Lula, on January 8, 2023, had signed the decree giving powers to the military to restore public order in the Federal District?
The decree was ready and was offered to him. The shocked country had just watched the Planalto Palace, Congress and Supreme Court for thousands of enraged scammers camped at the door of the Army’s HQ.
Military area is national security area, here and in all countries of the world. It is forbidden to camp in their vicinity. But the President of the Republic of the time, former captain Jair Bolsonaro, ordered the army to open an exception.
After all, the camps asked only a military intervention to nullify the result of the presidential election lost by Bolsonaro. It was not an attempt to blow, he said. It was the exercise of the right to freedom of expression provided for in the Constitution.
Performed exclusively by express order of the President of the Republic, Missions of Guarantee of Law and Order (GLO) occur in cases where there is the exhaustion of traditional public security forces, in serious situations of disturbance of the order.
GLO’s operations provisionally grant the military the faculty to act with police power until the restoration of normality. In these actions, the Armed Forces act episodically, in a restricted area and for a limited time.
Janja, the first lady, upon learning of what was about, lit the red light and advised Lula not to sign the decree. And if authorized by the president to take to the streets, the military gave in to the clamor of the scammers? Who could guarantee they wouldn’t give in?
Lula decreed federal intervention in the Federal District. The order was restored by intervener Ricardo Cappelli, secretary general of the Ministry of Justice. The scammers were not just arrested immediately because the army commander did not leave.
He had a good reason not to leave it: there were among the campaign relatives of military and military, some of the so -called special forces. It was time for them to run away before Cappelli and Military Police troops could arrest the others.
The story told by journalism on the occasion is the story written on the loop, with the still hot and poorly clarified facts. Journalism today is less investigative than it has been. The distinguished public is more statements than facts.
In the future, Brava Brazilian people, far fear servile, we will know better what happened on January 8th and it is not over yet.
