Just over a month before announcing tariff war against Brazil, (-SP) published a video that, so impressive, seems false, but whose content came out of the former president’s youngest (PL).
The publication of June 1 exalts nationalism, calls on “finding the true Brazilian spirit” and has an excerpt in which Eduardo praises three Brazilian symbols of this current, the former presidents, and Jango, deposed by the military in the 64 coup.
“If we want to meet again as a nation,” says the deputy, “we have to see the historical figures of Brazil with a national and not partisan look.” Then come the compliments to the former presidents, all identified with the national developmentalism.
Getúlio was dictator for years in an alliance with military and conservatives and then became the main labor leader in the country, the same extraction of Jango. JK, elected by the centrist PSD, also had a much further trajectory than the radical directo Bolsonaro and his children.
“Getúlio Vargas, for example, led a government that did not have full freedoms, it is true, but it is also undeniable that there has been advances in our industry, the intention to value the worker and also infrastructure investments. Closing his eyes to this would be childish,” says the former president’s son 03, in a seemingly rehearsed speech and read on Teleprrompter.
“The same goes for Juscelino Kubitschek. We can debate the costs and economic effects of his government. But it is undeniable, there was a project of integration of the country, optimism, progress. It was 50 years in 5. This marked Brazil’s imaginary for decades.”
The compliment to Jango is the least excited, but it is nonetheless surprising. “It’s no different with João Goulart. We can agree or disagree with his proposals, I’m certainly not a fan of him. But it’s unfair to deny that many of them were born with the intention of giving answers to popular yearnings.”
Then there is another pearl of speech: “Just as talking about the military period: you can’t say that everything there was darkness.” The historical opinion of the Bolsonaro family about dictatorship has never mentioned darkness, as it is the opposite of this. Father and children always committed by military governments, classifying the period as a golden age of the country.
“There was even authoritarianism, “grants the deputy,” but there were infrastructure investments that support Brazil to this day. And it is the role of a mature nation to look to the past and be able to realize everything that worked, everything that was positive in our history. “
Eduardo makes a preaching that sounds delirious in the face of war attitudes that mark his and her father’s trajectory, and is even more stupid for the contrast with his incitement to Trump to retaliate the federal government and the (Supreme Court) because of the.
“To deny the virtues of any period of our history is to deny ourselves. There is no national union possible if each side wants to erase the other. Brazil needs reconciliation, not resentment,” a monologue.
And I gear a candidate speech. “I introduce myself as someone willing to help the country again, […] raising your head and believing in yourself. I want to meet again with the Brazilian spirit, with the courage of those who built this country in the midst of such adversity. […] And I want to walk side by side with everyone who also believes it. “
Eduardo is willing to launch himself a candidate for the presidency in 2026 even without the support of his father – this case not arrested or prevented by the court. For Centrão leaders, it would be one to inherit Jair’s votes, even if the former president supports the governor (Republicans).
The June video speech seems to be a business card in this regard, even though the unusual direction indicated there impose an issue: How was this turn?
Days before Eduardo published the video, (Governments Lula 2 and Dilma, a historic left member who in recent years approached the old chamber colleague Jair Bolsonaro and the broader bolsonarism) participated in a Live of Studio 5th Element – Eduardo had also gone on other opportunities.
One of the mothers of the conversation was “betrayed sovereignty? Right without people and government at the service of banks: Brazil has departure?”.
“I tried to make a bridge of nationalism with the liberals, showing that Getúlio made a revolution with the so -called liberal alliance, which liberalism and nationalism together are no strangers in Brazil,” summarizes Aldo.
Also participated in the live youtuber Kim Paim, linked to Bolsonarism sectors. The theme of Eduardo’s video, reports Paim, permeated previous conversations between him, members of the 5th element and Bolsonaro’s son.
“[Nós dissemos:] What if Brazil’s history is not really as they count? And we were sending material. What if Vargas is not the big villain? Who won this battle at the end was the century class that is there to this day. Eduardo began to question himself. Again I told him: Have you ever stopped reading the Jango Speech of March 13? [em comício na Central do Brasil, apontado como estímulo para o golpe] Did Jango really say he was going to blow? “Says Paim, who rejects the pocket of Bolsonarist.
“People see me as Bolsonaro cloth passer, but I find myself one of the most distant people of mainstream pockets. I’m critical of before being fashionable. I like Jair. In moral issues, I consider myself conservative. In economic, I have a sympathy for the national developmentalism.”
Paim, who says he has worshiped Eduardo’s video, considers it possible an alliance with sectors regarded as opponents, because “not everyone on the left has the same agenda.” “I already talked to Eduardo himself and Aldo. [Disse]: Aldo, what you have grown on the left calling imperialism, this right -wing right calls globalism. In the frying of eggs is the same thing. For Eduardo I say: what you have learned as globalism the left calls imperialism. You have to talk. “
Youtuber argues that Eduardo launches candidate for president “just for launching himself”. “Win or lose, whatever. Today I don’t think there is a solution from 2026. I would put my boat in the water to assemble a truly cohesive group.”
As for Eduardo’s contradiction in adopting a nationalist speech and acting with the US against Brazil, he says that, “in five years, he may not even have to explain. [Poderá dizer que] He did what had to be done because he was a son trying to protect his father. […] A nationalist turn does not come from day to night. It is a process, a struggle. “
Paim concludes with the message that went to Eduardo and other pockets: “You have a vote, but do not have a country project. You have to bring close to those who have [um projeto]. Sitting and organizing, the thing goes forward. “
The lawyer, who was the Bolsonaro government secretary of communication, also made contact with Kim Paim, while sought Aldo Rebelo and other figures traditionally aligned on the nationalist left, such as Roberto Mangabeira Unger and Roberto Requião, in search of approximation.
Today in the MDB, the former minister by B PC considers that Paim and the members of the 5th element convinced Eduardo to record the video, but admits that his own ideas are there. An example: Aldo is writing a book about Dom Pedro 1, “a necessary hero”, whose intention is to “recover him as one of the founding myths of Brazil.”
In Lives and Lectures, he states that if he is emphasized only the negative side, Dom Pedro will be remembered “as a womanizer, not as a statesman.” Paim sent one of these videos to the youngest of Bolsonaro.
In his own video, Eduardo states: “If we look just to the bad side, we will reduce a Dom Pedro 1st to a womanizer. But he was much more than that. He was a statesman who at the moment of global rupture managed to maintain the territorial unit of a country of continental dimensions, where everyone speaks one language and recognizes themselves as one people. “
Aldo Rebelo even sent a message to pocketBrincading that would charge copyright from his youngest. The former president responded with laughs.
The report asked for an interview with Wajngarten, but had no answer. He also sent via the former secretary, who usually broke into contacts between the Bolsonaro and the press, questions for Eduardo-who were equally without return.
