Brazil General Discussion 2019: It's Slammer Time!

Bolsonaro refused to congratulate Alberto Fernandez for his victory. Not diplomatic.

Globo TV report that the assassins of Marielle Franco stopped by Bolsonaro's residence on the way to murder her

He woke up 4 a.m. to do this rant! But Brazil wants to know "Who was in House nº 58?"

what's happening with the Brazilian Party System at the moment? How are PSL adjusting to their rapid ascension? Are the traditional right wing parties - the PSDB, the MDB, the Democrats etc. - coping? Is PT showing a resurgence?

what's happening with the Brazilian Party System at the moment? How are PSL adjusting to their rapid ascension? Are the traditional right wing parties - the PSDB, the MDB, the Democrats etc. - coping? Is PT showing a resurgence?

Last weeks, PSL is in a internal crisis between Bolsonaro ultras and pragmaticals who follow PSL's owner president Luciano Bivar who owns a millionaire party fund due to 2018 electoral performance. Pro-Bolsonaro's wing was able to impose Eduardo Bolsonaro "03" as caucus leader to replace Sheriff Waldir - who called Bolsonaro as "vagabundo" for betraying party companions for his family. Bolsonaro also fired Joice Hasselmann as Congress' leader.
PSDB is now controlled by Doria's who calls for moderation after getting elected due to "Bolsodoria"' campaign. DEM who leads legislative branch (Senate and Chamber) leads Centrao's physiological parties. MDB is under the shadows, but now 2 of Bolsonaro's leaders are from them (Bezerra Coelho and Eduardo Gomes). PT is more isolated with Lula Livre's monotony and absent from big fights. Ciro Gomes is the true opposition leader but suffers betrayals from PDT caucus.

The investigation of the Civil Police from Rio de Janeiro found that the murder of Rio de Janeiro city legislator Marielle Franco visited the neighbor of Jair Bolsonaro, who is a military policeman, before the crime. This military policeman belongs to the "militia", who are criminal organizations in which policemen take part.
The Civil Police interogated the vigilant of the condominium where Bolsonaro and his neighbor live, and the vigilant told that in the day of the crime, the murder asked the authorization of Bolsonaro to get inside the condominium and visit Bolsonaro's neighbor.
After TV showed this news, which were a scandal for Bolsonaro, the public attorney of Rio de Janeiro checked the recording of the entrance of the condominium and found that the vigilant didn't tell the truth and that the murder asked the autorization for the neighbor and not Bolsonaro. However, in the day after, the media found that the public attorney was a supporter of Bolsonaro (after searching her social networks, like Facebook) and that she was not reliable for the investigation. It was also found that the recording of the condominium was not complete and that some audio could have been lost.

Even if is not true that the murder asked the authorization to Bolsonaro to get inside the condominium and visit the neighbor in the day of the crime, it is a bothering issue that the murder has close ties to the neighbor of the president of the republic. We still do not know the relation between Bolsonaro and his neighbor, but we know that the neighbor is a policeman who takes part in the militia, and Bolsonaro family has close ties with policemen who take part in the militia. When the senator Flavio Bolsonaro was legislator of the state of Rio de Janeiro, he employed in his cabinett relatives of policemen who took part in the militia.

There is no evidence that Jair Bolsonaro and his kids have any relation to the murder of Marielle Franco, but the family has ties to policemen who take part in the militia and the investigation found out that some policemen who take part in the militia were related to the crime.

[PSOL]

What betrayal is Ciro Gomes facing from his own party? Also is the PSOL making any gains on their own or what with the two main left party’s in their own issues?

In Pensions'r reform some voted for reform (8 congressman of 30 and senator Katia Abreu, Ciro's running-mate). PSOL is now in crossroads, between a lone run or going to do a left-wing front.
AND LULA IS FREE!

Brazilian Constitution tells that someone should go to the prison only when there is no more possibility of appeal or if a judge decides that it is dangerous for the society someone to be outside the prison.
In 2016, the Supreme Court decided that everyone who is sentenced in a second trial should go directly to the prison. It was a strange decision, since the Supreme Court is in charge to respect the Constitution, and the Constitution tells that only convicted after all possible trials should go the prison.
Yesterday, the Supreme Court changed its view and followed the Constitution.

Since Lula was sentenced by regional courts, but he was not sentenced by the Supreme Court yet, he was freed. He can wait his final trial free.

Even without the decision of the Supreme Court, Lula could be released. He served in the prison more than 1/6 of his sentence, so, he has the right of parole.

Yesterday, Brazilian diplomacy did something very stupid. Besides USA and Israel, only Brazil voted for the sanctions for Cuba. Other 187 countries voted against.

That's not going to encourage the conspiracy theorists at all, no sirree.

Venezuela ambassy in Brasília was invaded by Guaidó supporters. Eduardo Bolsonaro supported the invasion. The police took a very long time to remove the invaders. Some congresspeople from PT and PSOL got inside the ambassy in order to fight against the invaders.

Eduardo Bolsonaro has not high democratic credentials. Few days ago he said that a self-coup, like the one that took place in Brazil in 1968, should be considered an option.

Bolsonaro family is not member of the PSL anymore. They decided to create their own far-right party, the Alliance for Brazil. The number of the party is 38 (coincidence: the number of the most famous gun). Look at the picture of the logo of the party

Brazil's economic minister causes uproar mentioning dictatorship decree

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - Two of Brazil’s former presidents, a chief justice and heads of both chambers of Congress on Tuesday repudiated the country’s economy minister for saying the government might take draconian steps if leftist opponents stirred up protests such as those in Chile.
Speaking in Washington on Monday about turmoil in neighboring countries, Economy Minister Paulo Guedes told reporters not to be surprised if somebody called for an AI-5, a measure decreed by the 1964-1985 military dictatorship to close Congress and suppress dissent.

His remarks come weeks after the release from prison of leftist ex-President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva, setting the stage for political confrontation with right-wing President Jair Bolsonaro. Lula has vowed to unite the left behind his Workers Party to win the 2022 elections.

Jair's son, senator Flavio Bolsonaro, is investigated because he is suspicious to have employed fake employees in his cabinett (every representative and senator is allowed to employ some staff) in order to take their wages. Flavio is having trouble to explain how can he own flats whose value is much higher than someone who earns only the wage of a congressman can buy.

Comedian group Porta dos Fundos (translation: backdoor) led by Gregório Duvivier made a short movie about a Jesus Christ who goes back home and presents his new boyfriend to his father.

The office of Porta dos Fundos was attacked by homemade bombs. It is suspicious that far-right religious groups could have been responsible for the attack.

Secretary of Culture, announcing an art contest, reproduced a Goebbels's speech, using exactly the same words. Of course, the German Ambassy, the Jewish Association complained.
Not good for a president and for a minister of foreign affairs who told last year that national socialism was left-wing.

Right wing Jews who support far right parties and leaders will always be surprised when they discover that these people are anti-semitic, huh?
