The unfiltered verbiage of Bolsonaro is tired of his advisers and allies

After two weeks of controversy, his environment is seeking a way for the president to expose himself less; the opposition has renewed its request for a political trial

RIO DE JANEIRO.- This is

Jair Bolsonaro

having controversial positions no longer surprises anyone. But
In the last two weeks, the President of Brazil has made so many inflammatory statements that have caused the concern of his advisers. at the palace of Plbadto, he stands out from his political allies and renews in opposition the intention to subject him to a process of
impeachment.

Without measuring the impact of his remarks or the veracity of his statements, the president declared that there was no hunger in Brazil, that child labor was justified, discredited the public body that monitors deforestation in Amazon and provoked the president of the Bar of Brazil. Brazil (OAB), baduring that he knew how his father had died, disappeared during the dictatorship. He intimidated American journalist Glenn Greenwald, pointing out that he was in danger of being imprisoned for broadcasting compromising messages from authorities who had their mobile phone hacked, played down the brutal mbadacre perpetrated in this case. prison, as well as public documents disqualified for crimes committed under the last military government, treated in a pejorative manner. For the northeastern residents of the country, the death of an indigenous ruler killed by illegal gold researchers and the French foreign minister have offended him by leaving him planted to go get himself cut the hair.

Tired of the president's controversy, writer Chico Barney launched the hashtag on social networks
#QuartaFeiraSemBolsonaro (
# WednesdaySinBolsonaro) to propose that "for reasons of public health", users spend one day a week without commenting on the president's shocking and irritating departures. Far from moderating, in a newspaper interview
Or balloonBolsonaro defended his impulsive style: "I am like that, there is no strategy, if I was worried for 2022 [año en que podría buscar la reelección] I would not make those statements. "

Instead, among his advisers – particularly the military – the unbridled and offensive verbiage of the president raises fears and led to the convening of an emergency meeting this week to find a way to reveal it less. Because, if the government has set itself the goal of regaining Brazil's confidence to encourage a weakened economy, the president seems more interested in creating constant crises that mask the gains of the new ultra leadership. -right, as the signing of the free trade agreement between Mercosur and the European Union, the progress of the pension reform project in Congress and the slight reduction in unemployment.

"Bolsonaro has not yet taken off his controversial MP profile." He continues to believe that he represents a segment of society, whereas as president he must take into account the fact that that he speaks for and all over the country.Instead of being a peacemaker and seeking to create consensus, he prefers to incite, offend and generate clashes.And this behavior poses unnecessary problems to the government and away from its allies, "warned Marcio Coimbra, LA NACION policy badyst, professor and coordinator of the postgraduate training program at Mackenzie Presbyterian University. in Brasilia, who worked in the new government in the first months.

Among the allies, the latest comments discrediting the work done by the Truth Commission, which investigated crimes committed during the dictatorship, and the provocation to the chief of the OAB, Felipe Santa Cruz, son of one student leader disappeared, were very badly received. . "It is unacceptable that a president of the republic manifests itself in this way," said the governor of the state of São Paulo, João Doria, of the Brazilian Social Democracy Party (PSDB), while that the former Social Democrat President, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, said Bolsonaro. "He despises the limits of common sense for his verbal incontinence."

In Congress, the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Rodrigo Maia, of the right-wing Democratic Party (DEM), criticized Bolsonaro's questions to the press and particularly to journalist Greenwald. "I am in favor of press freedom in all circumstances and I defend the secrecy of the sources, which is guaranteed by the Constitution," he wrote on his Twitter account.

His co-religious, Senate Speaker Davi Alcolumbre, also used social media to stand out from the president in the case of the murdered leader of the Wajãpi ethnic group. And even within the official Social Liberal Party (PSL), voices have warned of the risks that Bolsonaro continues to act and speak without filters.

"Bolsonaro must put aside controversy, we have a seven-month government and we have some confusion, Brazil needs a lot of things, the country is going through a transformation, but it is not working to make the situation calmer" He complains. the vice-president of the PSL in the lower house, the deputy Alexandre Frota.

The president of the party Solidarity (SD), deputy Paulo Pereira da Silva, figure much more important of the lapidary, key figure of the call
center "Brazil has chosen an idiot," he said, frustrated.

On the other hand, since the opposition, the leftist forces have already begun to articulate themselves so that this week, when legislative activities resume after the winter break, the possibility of submitting an application for
impeachment for "break of decorum" of office. "We can no longer cover the sun with my hand, we must warn Bolsonaro, a criminal who idolizes genocide, torturers and dictators, and he and his militia clan lead the country into an authoritarian police state that corrodes democracy and the institutions of society, the republic, "said deputy Paulo Pimenta, leader of the Workers Party (PT) in the lower house.

Analysts agree that an order for
impeachment today, he would have little chance of prospering, but they point out that the speaker of deputies, Maia, could keep him latent and use him as a form of pressure on Bolsonaro for him to control himself. a little.
