Against the lockdown: Bolsonaro threatens to use the military
– During a trip to the north of the largest state of the Amazon, Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro threatened the use of the military. Should regional governments impose another lockdown in the fight against Covid-19, this will not be without consequences. When speaking to members of the military, he did not mention the regional governments directly, but said: “I assume that you will all defend our constitution. I hope that your efforts will not be necessary, that we will become the norm We are not there yet. But at least the president cannot be accused of being a democrat who disregards the law. ” He also stressed that it is the task of the military to ensure freedom in the country. With the desire for a return to normalcy, Bolsonaro seems to be ignoring the situation in Brazil. The number of new infections with the corona virus is increasing, as is the number of deaths. After the US, Brazil has the highest number of deaths with more than 454,000. More than 16.2 million cases of infection were detected there. This is the third highest value worldwide after the USA and India. Brazil will hold its presidential elections in 2022. Bolsonaro will run again with the aim of defending his position.
