He arrived in a Rolls Royce, with the presidential sash around his torso and open arms, just like a messiah with his people. Thousands of his people were waiting for him in Brasilia, who idolize him and continue with almost obsession. What of Jair Bolsonaro This Tuesday was a very massive staging and one of the most dangerous that the right-wing government has staged.
It happened within the framework of the celebration of the Brazilian Independence Day, which is nothing more than the vindication of a sovereign institutionality, one that the president has attacked time and again, threatening its survival.
This Tuesday he pointed to the Supreme Court, which has opened an investigation against him for spreading false news. “Either the head of that power frames his own or that power can suffer what we do not want …”, he left in the air before thousands of people who cheered him. He also dismissed the electoral system, which he sheltered with a cloak of doubt. “We want clean, democratic elections, with a public vote count. I cannot participate in a farce like the one defended by the Superior Electoral Court, ”he shouted to his fans.
With an apparent willingness to sacrifice, Bolsonaro ended one of his many interventions with another ultimatum. “Only God removes me” from power, he promised, “I only go out prisoner, dead or victorious”
