A WhatsApp shows the crisis of the Bolsonaro government

President Jair Bolsonaro distributed in several WhatsApp groups a text of "unknown author" that dealt with the difficulties he faced in governing. The text says that the president is under pressure from all companies, from all powers and declares that the country "is dysfunctional", not because of Bolsonaro, but "until now (the president) is not". he did nothing, he did not approve anything, he only tried and failed. "It is singular that the president himself conveys such a message in the networks. The fact against the backdrop of the judicial advance against the son with more political weight of Bolsonaro, Flavio, federal senator and charged by a case of money laundering this week. But this climate of discomfort is primarily caused by the lack of management and confidence in the presidency of Bolsonaro and the incessant fights between his ministers and within the block of allies.

Asked by the Sao Paulo state newspaper about the message, the President of the Republic responded through the spokesperson: "I have made every effort to govern Brazil. Unfortunately, the challenges are innumerable and changing the way of governing does not please them. groups that have in the past benefited from non-republican relations, I want to be able to count on society so that they can together reverse the situation and put the country back on the road to a promising future.

In sharing the text, the president wrote: "A text at least interesting, intended for those who want to anticipate the facts, its reading is mandatory." In Juiz de Fora (population where last year, during the campaign, suffered an attack he had serious injuries to the abdomen) I had a presentiment and warned my security agents: this is the last time I expose myself to people, the system will kill me, with the text below, each of you can draw your own conclusions ".

The presidential interlocutors say that they do not know how many people have received the message, but report to the president asking them to replicate the content. According to one of the interlocutors, Bolsonaro has already begun to receive answers, claiming that "he says the purest truth". However, sources quoted by the press believe that the collapse is "very serious" and "disturbing".

One of the sources even recalled that the President was carried away by the "conspiracy theories" that dominate his family's speeches and that, by supporting the text, could provoke what he had called a tsunami last week and warned that I was coming President Jair Bolsonaro landed this morning after a trip to Dallas, United States, where he received a tribute. In his interviews, he spoke of his outrage at the attacks on his children and said that if they hit him, they would pursue him. His son Flavio was indicted this week by an attorney's office in Rio de Janeiro, as part of a deal to buy 19 properties apparently to resell them and launder money.

But the problem is the lack of a climate conducive to the Bolsonaro government, which took office on 1 January with high expectations and got stuck in incessant fighting with its allies in Congress and in the same cabinet , between the military wings. and civil

An editorial writer from the state of Sao Paulo summed up the situation well. "From euphoria to frustration, the economy is heading towards a new lost year," is the chronicle of Alexandre Calais. Let's remember that the economy's growth forecasts started the year above 2.5% and then fell below 1%, "with the government in the grip of controversy and political disorder". The deterioration of Bolsonaro's expectations in the markets has been rapid. In January, badysts following the central bank have imagined a growth of 2.5% of the country this year. They fell quickly to 1.5% and no one sees more than 1%. "In other words, another year of stagnation", regrets Calais.

Although there is not a single explanation, it is clear that the political disarticulation of the government is one of the main factors. President Jair Bolsonaro uses hostility as a political method, "turning important debates into street fighting". Faster treatment of social security reform was expected, indicated as a critical factor for restoring confidence in the economy and unlocking investment. With all the conflicts between the executive and legislative powers, however, this speed has not occurred and no one is optimistic about its process. The presidents of both legislative chambers said they would pursue pension reform regardless of what Bolsonaro would do or not do.
