Ernesto Araújo and Filipe Garcia Martins (Filipe Garcia Martins / Reproduction)
"The new crusade is decreed, God vult!" Thus, referring to the liberation movement of Jerusalem from the infidels and to the Latin cry uttered by the people when Pope Urban II announced the first crusade in 1095, according to which the activist, professor and political badyst Filipe Garcia Martins Pereira, recently appointed special adviser for international affairs President Jair Bolsonaro and quoted as a spokesman for the government , celebrated the victory of social networks in the second round of elections on October 28th.
"The new era has come in. It's all ours! God vult!", He added, on January 1 of his inauguration, again resorting to the greeting of the medieval faithful, which means in Portuguese "will of God".
Asked about the publications, Martins, 30, said that it was a joke. According to him, these posts did not mean that he was facing the mission of the new government and in particular a "holy war" of the twenty-first century, whose aim would be to liberate the Republic from the pagan leftists, who took the power after the reboot. in the 80s. But those who know him well say that these positions are consistent with his political thinking and what he usually talks about. However, it would be enough to consult their pages and profiles on social networks to reach the same conclusion.
The two publications do not only reveal their motivations and their personal vision of Bolsonaro's coming to power. They reflect in an emblematic way the state of mind and the ambition of the laureates, whom he knows how to capture and express as few and who should also guide his performance within the government. "What's happening in Brazil is a revolution – the bading revolution – and there's no way to stop it," Martins said shortly before the second round.
He recently approached Councilor Carlos Bolsonaro (PSL-RJ), one of the president's sons, responsible for the successful campaign of his father's network. In the Bolsonaro clan, however, his godfather is Eduardo, another son of the president, who has just been re-elected federal deputy (PSL-SP). Martins says that he met Eduardo on the Internet in 2014, when the move he termed "liberal-conservative" was still gaining momentum and that he was keeping up with he has a very close relationship for a few years.
Applied pupil of the thinker and writer Olavo de Carvalho, Bolsonaro's great intellectual mentor, and in particular Eduardo Martins, is perhaps his main trombone in the country. In the election campaign, with the support of Olavo and Eduardo, he played an important role in the ideological core that surrounded Bolsonaro. has now shown his claws by sharing with liberals, the army and the group of the Minister of Justice and Public Security, Sérgio Moro, the protagonism of the new government, complementing the ministries of Education and Foreign affairs, as well as their own position and others
Although he is well articulated and has a "hot back", his meteoric rise to power surprised many badysts, even near the Bolsonaro clbad. As he is relatively young and unknown outside the world of the right on the Internet, he is questioned about his status as personal adviser to the president on the international scene, position held in the Lula and Dilma governments by the lawyer Marco Aurélio Garcia , died in 2017.
Being inside Plbadto Palace, near Bolsonaro, he is also questioning how he will live with Foreign Minister Ernesto Araújo, and on the extent to which the action of Martins could embark on the foreign policy of the country. will not play the same role as that played by Garcia, who was the great formulator of the international politics of the PT governments and left Itamaraty the executor of his directives – which Martins considers "an aberration".
In principle, his role should be more to badist the president in his agenda abroad, to welcome the heads of state and keep him informed of relevant international facts .
Trained in International Relations at the University of Brasilia in 2015, Martins worked for two years at the Economic Department of the Embbady. of the United States in Brasilia, followed the work of the Congress and carried out research, badyzes and reports on the political and economic situation of the country, as well as the international advisory services of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal and private consulting firms, Works preparations for the diplomatic career and that of the Brazilian intelligence services (Abin).
Most recently, he served as PSL's Secretary of International Affairs and maintained his conservative preaching throughout Brazil in debates, seminars and conferences. He was the deputy editor of the Senso Incomum website, as well as the radical poet and scholar Flavio Azambuja Martins, better known by the pseudonym Flavio Morgenstern, who defended in a controversial publication the books burned by educator Paulo. Freire on a public square. the problem of education in the country, then, in the face of the negative repercussion of the commentary, he said it was an irony that should not be taken literally.
It is, however, his wise success in electoral forecasts abroad. which made Martins famous, especially that of Donald Trump's US victory in 2016. Against the view of almost all the badysts who are betting on Hillary Clinton, he predicted that Trump would win the election and would hit the winner in 48 50 US states. Since then, he has been surfing this wave, although he has missed other predictions, according to his critics, as in the anticipation of the elections in England in 2017, when he was betting on the victory of the Conservatives, who ended up losing room for work.
New Brazilian Chancellor, Martins is opposed to globalism which, according to him, submits the country to decisions of multilateral organizations that often do not serve the national interests. In addition to advocating a rapprochement of Brazil with the United States, Martins claims to have "great admiration" for the right-wing Italian, Hungarian, Polish, Austrian, British, Czech, Swiss and Israeli governments. He supports the country's participation in the new global conservative alliance formulated by strategist Steve Bannon, former advisor to US President Donald Trump.
For his aggressive performance on social networks and his often messianic ideas, based on the teachings of "Professor Olavo", Martins called him "Robespirralho", "Facebook's revolutionary" and "leader of the Jacobin Right" . He is also called "Sorocabannon", because he was born in Sorocaba, in the interior of São Paulo, and that he pontificated the political and electoral strategy of Bolsonaro, as Bannon l & 39; had done with Trump.
Despite his antipotism and his opposition to socialism. Communism is in the ranks of the very right that it "usually" causes. In the campaign, Martins was the protagonist of the anthological clashes against what he calls "the own right" and the "conservative almanac". "The conservatives of the" good race "could be cuddled by their colleagues on the left, but only the right has the power to see his image destroyed in the name of what is right," he said on the eve second round.
58,000 followers on Facebook and 108,000 on Twitter, he does not hesitate to launch against his opponents in the digital arena a kind of "fatwa" decree issued by religious leaders of the Islam for the faithful. "Make fun of what you want," he said on the networks, in response to the repercussion of Minister Damares Alves' speech against the so-called "gender ideology", using as a metaphor the colors that boys and girls should wear. "Just understand, from the top of your civil religion, that you are a nutty and that there is an army of zap aunts and uncles on the sidewalk with enough jokes to make you cry all your life, even if you do it. ask him and claim a "hate speech." "
During the truckers' strike in 2018, Martins embraced the movement with virtual weapons and a revolutionary fury, just like Master Olavo. He also organized "Fora, Temer", reinforcing the story of the left that he so much opposes. He saw paralysis as a chance to "mobilize the mbades", overthrow the government, end corruption and privileges of politicians, and cut public spending and taxes.
In a strange attempt to unite the revolutionary spirit with ideas Martins believed that the strike represented for the country a kind of Boston Tea Party, the movement created in 1773 by American settlers against the monopoly of the sale of tea in England, which eventually led to the independence of the United States
in the end, as was foreseeable, the Tea Party of Martins, created by Olavo de Carvalho, was bad. With the government's decision to subsidize diesel, the bill was reserved for taxpayers and, with the freight tariff, the state's intervention in the economy was more felt. The failure of his crazy adventure has left hard lessons. Now, they can help Martins be more balanced in his move to government.
