The internal power in Brazil burns | Difficult passage in …

Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro yesterday defended the philosopher and considered a presidential guru, Olavo de Carvalho, after insulting the government generals. The internal conflict in Plbadto Palace concerns the Carvalho wing or "right wing ideologues", where the three sons of the president are also present, and the military sector which appears to be the most moderate wing of the government. .

The conversation was exchanged between the "guru" and some military when Carvalho criticized on Twitter the Minister of Government, Carlos Santos Cruz, whom he described as "bosta" and "traitor" of the president. But Bolsonaro went out immediately to support him.

"Carvalho is recognized by me because for years he fought alone against the senseless ideology that killed millions of people around the world and took away the freedom of hundreds of millions of others ", wrote Bolsonaro on Twitter, clearly referring to Carvalho's aversion to communism. "His work greatly contributed to my arrival in the government and so influenced the workers 'party that the Workers' Party did not come back to power in the last elections," he added. With these two tweets, the Brazilian leader went to support his guru, a journalist and astrologer turned writer and based in the United States. And then asked to turn the page of internal conflicts.

The presidential tweet was published a day after the general councilor and government minister, Eduardo Vilas Boas, described Carvalho as a "right-wing Trotsky". Vilas Boas was commander of the army until January and continues to be one of the most influential military members of the government military sector. It also controls one-third of the ministries and a hundred positions in secretariats and strategic autarchies.

"Carvalho does not understand that the replacement of one ideology by another does not contribute to the development of a basis of thought that favors the solution to the problems of Brazil," wrote Vilas Boas.

But Bolsonaro's support to his guru is not limited to messages on social networks. Almost a week ago, the president decided to support Carvalho by decreeing the Order of Baron de Rio Branco, the highest honor of Brazil's foreign relations. But Carvalho did not interpret Bolsonaro's support as a call to calm the waters with the military but, if not, went on to do his own thing and also attacked Vice President Hamilton Mourao, the only one who was killed. calling a traitor.

But in public, the leader of the Liberal Social Party (PSL) prefers to deny that he raises sparks in his government. On Monday, he went to the Military College in Rio de Janeiro and took the opportunity to deny the existence of differences in their ranks. And a few hours later, still supporting Carvalho networks, Bolsonaro suddenly changed the government's second line. The military wing was therefore left to the management of the Brazilian Export Promotion Agency (APEX), with the appointment of Rear-Admiral Sergio Segovia Barbosa, who expelled the close directors of Carvalho. In addition, the director of Surveys, Claudio Crespo, responsible for preparations for the census of 2020 and opposed the budget cut for this task, was removed from office, decision of the Minister of Economy, Paulo Guedes. At the beginning of the Carvalho government, he was responsible for the appointment of Ministers of Education, Abraham Weintraub, External Relations, Ernesto Araújo and the Minister of Human Rights, Women and Family, the pastor evangelist Damares Alves.

Born in San Pablo at the age of 71, Bolsonaro's "guru" is based in Richmond, Va., Where he founded the Inter-American Institute of Philosophy, Government and Social Thought in 2005. After rejecting his appointment as Minister of Education and Culture, Carvalho posted on his YouTube channel that the only charge he would accept from Bolsonaro would be that of Ambbadador of his country to the White House. A position from which he would seek to achieve his main goal: develop and monitor exchanges with Donald Trump's administration.
