Update from my Brazilian friend:
Our “jan 6th” is not going so well for the establishment after all
They got too eager and f.ed up, producing evidence against themselves while boasting and now the government is devolving into greater chaos
And this is still 20 days before the formal opposition can even take their roles in congress
48 organizations within the government are being charged with the crime of omission when it came to address warnings they received for security
The ministry of justice condemned himself by taking a photo of himself just standing in a window laughing at the protests 2 hours before he took any action
The Supreme court began a purge of the judiciary trying to find “conspirator judges” to blame
They completely lost any possible trust from market agents that are running away screaming, sometimes literally
They had a meeting to settle on a narrative to go with and the ministers continue to blunder and say completely contradictory things about the government.
The level of incompetence is not surprising in the least
A candidate for a technical position was declined for having posted favorably to fighting organized crime years ago.
The confirmed death count in the improvised concentration camp is now 5
They allowed the sick and over 60 to leave today after being stuck there for 2 days
Some got moved straight to penitentiaries without trials or charges
And they already started the campaign for denouncing your family and neighbors as anti revolutionaires democratic so the government can start arresting them
Turns out there were a lot of police officers and active members of the military in the protest and they’re not happy being labeled as terrorists for nothing
They want to blame the minister of defense for everything and fire him, resulting in previous ministers of defense speaking up in support of him (they’re all generals)
The minister of defense is literally the only competent person assigned to all 37 ministries
He was appointed by the armed forces to settle things and now they want to get rid of him and even arrest him
Sounds like a Brazilian CHARLEY FOXTROT.
Thank you for the update.
