“We are not either be a colony of anyone again. We are able to govern and take care of our land And our people, without interference from any foreign government, “said President Luiz Inacio Lula Da Silva. Brazil’s Independence Day was screened this Sunday on the past and a present of challenges: the eve of the end of the trial against Jair Bolsonaro and the pressures of the outrages and the United States to avoid the conviction or obtain an amnesty. “We do not accept anyone’s orders”the president remarked that on January 8, 2023 he was subject to A coup attempt by which their predecessor is being judged, Three army generals, a Navy head, Bolsonaro’s personal assistant, Colonel Mauro Cid, the main source of information from the Federal Police (PF), two civilians and two civilians.
Lula spoke on Sunday night as a kind of prelude to the military parade in the esplanade of the ministries, in Brasilia, no less than the scenario of the 8E coup plot. BGarlic the slogan “Brazil Sovereign” He appeared along with his ministerial cabinet and the parliamentary authorities. The members of the Supreme Federal Court (STF) in charge of issuing a sentence were absent at the ceremony so as not to sow suspicion. The crimes charged by the former Army on his back as a brain of the conjure They could be worth up to 40 years in jail. No one expects a condemnation of that magnitude, but a failure exemplary enough. According to the Diario Carioca ´O Globo`, the members of the STF will cast votes with a great emphasis on the need to defend democracy, threatened in 2023, although they will diverge in the magnitude of the penalties.
The parade in Brasilia was presented as an affirmation of the principles that the Government says especially from the moment Donald Trump imposed 50% tariffs on exports with a political and non -commercial foundation: its rejection of the trial against Bolsonaro. The “Sovereign Brazil” motto was stamped on the caps that were distributed among those attending the military procession.
“Inadmissible attacks”
When speaking to the country, Lula considered “inadmissible the role of some Brazilian politicians who stimulate attacks against Brazil.” Allusion a Eduardo Bolsonaro, who motorizes from Washington the sanctions, including against the Judge of the STF, Alexandre de MoraesIt was unequivocal. But the Dardo pointed at the same time against The sectors of the right that press in Congress in favor of a benefit for the defendants. “They were chosen to work for the Brazilian people, but only defend their personal interests. They are traitors to the homeland. History will not forgive them,” Lula warned. The leader of the Workers Party in turn defended the independence with which the members of the STF worked- “we veiled for the fulfillment of our Constitution, which establishes independence between the three powers. This means that the president of Brazil cannot interfere with the decisions of Brazilian justice, unlike what they want to impose on our country.”
Bolsonaro’s lawyers use the innocence of their client. The ultra -right speaks of “judicial farce” and contaminates x with complaints about non -existent facts. Lula took advantage of the circumstances to sit down a position contrary to such uses. “Digital networks cannot continue to spread false news and hate speeches. They cannot accommodate crimes such as financial scams, sexual exploitation of children and adolescents and incitement to racism and violence against women.”
The ultra -right wins the street
Bolsonarism also decided to mobilize this Sunday in San Pablo and Río de Janeiro, among other cities, to claim the figure of the former president, who is under house arrest. The manifestation of the ultra -right in Brasilia, hours before the official phases, was marked by the insults against Lula, Moraes and the exaltation of a Trump who they consider Salvador. In a moments of the act, the speaker of the event, Cíntia Aquino, asked those present to shout “America, please save Brazil”.
Lula and the military dome
The military dome remains silent now a few days after the judicial outcome involving high -ranking officers. Brazil processed the democratic transition in 1985 under a mantle of impunity for the members of the military dictatorship. Never in four decades the company witnessed a process against figures of the institution such as the former Navy, Almir Garnier, and Generals Augusto Heleno, former head of the Institutional Security Cabinet, Paulo Sérgio Nogueira, former Minister of Defense, and Walter Braga Netto. Lula knows that his links with the current authorities of the Armed Forces are complex and therefore He dedicated a personal lunch on Saturday before the parade.
The big Brazilian media are already preparing for the pronouncement of the STF. “Bolsonaro made a decision in October 2022. Between preparing to lead the opposition in the next four years and embark on an unlikely success adventure, he preferred the second option. He left no other option to the magistrates who now judge him to condemn him by attack against democracy, ” He pointed out ´folha` of San Pablo in his Sunday publisher. “After the accusation and defense exposed his thesis, he was demonstrated beyond any reasonable doubt that the then president acted to coerce the military officers to give a coup d’etat. A simulation of intervention decree would give the legal varnish to the military coup conceived by the authoritarian imagination.” He recalled in turn “the harassment of the barracks” after the electoral result favorable to Lula “and the coercion between racks to the generals” who resisted a destabilizing action. “Bolsonaro intended to obtain by force what he had been denied by the votes. He was already his nostalgic entourage of dictatorships, but not to the then commanders of the army and aeronautics, they lacked discernment to understand that Brazil had changed. After 40 years since the restoration of democracy, there is no space in society and in the institutions for couples.
