Bolsonaro’s Trump-loving son is being groomed for power in Brazil

As President ‘Lula’ da Silva recovers from surgery, Eduardo Bolsonaro hopes to steer his country back to the right in the place of his banned father

On Monday night, the president of Brazil began to feel unwell. Two months earlier, he had fallen in the bathroom of his official residence in Brasilia, the Alvorada Palace, hitting his head hard enough that stitches were required. But Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, better known as Lula, had caused more damage than initially thought. After complaining about a worsening headache, last week he was rushed to hospital for emergency surgery on a suspected brain haemorrhage.

On Thursday, the left-wing politician was brought in for a second procedure to address bleeding on the surface of his brain, leaving the vice-president, Geraldo Alckmin, to carry out the functions of state. A day later, 79-year-old Lula left intensive care and is expected to be discharged on Monday or Tuesday.

Given the surgeries, and Lula’s status as Brazil’s oldest president, questions have begun to swirl about his future in politics and whether he will be fit enough to contest the next general election, just two years away. Meanwhile, the former president, Jair Bolsonaro, is rumoured to be grooming his son, the congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, for the presidency. Bolsonaro Sr is banned by the Supreme Court from standing for re-election until 2030, after he was found to have abused his powers and spread “appalling lies” during the 2022 ballot, leading to an attempted insurrection by rioters in January last year. He has always denied any wrongdoing.

The former president retains an avid following, however. Driving along Copacabana Beach in Rio de Janeiro, Gabriel Luis, a taxi driver, pulled over and opened up his phone. On the screen was an image supposedly comparing a sparsely attended rally for Lula in the lead-up to the election with a packed-out parade in support of Bolsonaro. “This proves it,” said Luis, 57. “How can Lula have won the election? Clearly it was robbed. Bolsonaro should be the president.”

The scene is reminiscent of the US in 2020, when supporters of Donald Trump falsely claimed that the election was stolen by Joe Biden and the Democratic establishment.

Indeed, Trump looms large in the Bolsonaro story: the former president is often called the “Trump of the Tropics” due to his flamboyant use of social media, anti-immigrant stance and populist attacks on political correctness — and he has taken heart from Trump’s incredible political comeback.

“Trump is back, and it’s a sign we’ll be back too,” Bolsonaro told The Wall Street Journal last week, before Lula was admitted to hospital. He recently suggested that Trump could bring in economic sanctions against the Brazilian government to overturn the ban on him standing for re-election.

Members of Bolsonaro’s Liberal Party also said the Trump administration could revoke the US visa of Alexandre de Moraes, the Supreme Court judge who has been at the forefront of criminal investigations into Bolsonaro.

But Andreza de Souza Santos, director of King’s Brazil Institute at King’s College London, said: “Right now, it is not likely or possible that Jair Bolsonaro could stand again in 2026. It is unlikely that any tariffs imposed by the Trump administration would have the desired effect of reversing the ban on Bolsonaro.”

Instead, his son has been floated as a likely successor — by Bolsonaro Jr himself. “Plan A is [Jair] Bolsonaro. I can be Plan B,” the 40-year-old said during a speech to the conservative political action conference (CPac) in Buenos Aires, Argentina, on Thursday.

Uma das últimas matérias da recém-falecida Nathalia Urban. Sentimos muita falta do seu brilho, mente aguda e humanismo. Vox é fundador do Foro Madrid, uma articulação neofascista internacional com financiamento sombrio. No ano passado divulgou a Carta de Madrid, um manifesto paranóico no extreme assinado por respresentantes da extrema direito do mundo inteiro. Os signatórios brasileiros são Eduardo Bolsonaro, ungido por Steve Bannon como representante de The Movement em América do Sul, e Bia Kicis, uma das militantes mais psicóticas da extrema direita católica, a Canção Nova. Um congresso internacional está marcado pro mês que vem. Entre os participante: o ex-Ministro de Relações Exteriores, o olavista Ernesto Araújo. Vou ficar de olho.

'Bolsonaro is Plan A; I Could Be Plan B,' Says Eduardo for 2026 Election

In Buenos Aires, congressman acknowledges his name as an alternative to his father, who is barred from running

Federal Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro acknowledged this Wednesday (4th) that his name could serve as Plan B for the right in the 2026 presidential elections, while reaffirming that Plan A remains his father, Jair Bolsonaro, who was declared ineligible by the Superior Electoral Court.

"Plan A is [Jair] Bolsonaro; I can be Plan B," said Eduardo, who is currently in Buenos Aires, participating in a panel at CPAC (Conservative Political Action Conference).

Despite his statement, he emphasized that he is not a candidate in the upcoming Brazilian election.

Mourão diz não ver motivo para Bolsonaro ser convocado para CPMI

Segundo o general, a comissão precisa ser conduzida "sem aquele clima de oba-oba, circo e bate-boca". Mourão também criticou a escolha de Ricardo Capelli para o comando do GSI

Olá sejam bem vindos ao Patioba News...

O senador e ex-vice-presidente Hamilton Mourão (Republicanos-RS) afirmou nesta segunda-feira dia 24 de abril de 2023, não ver motivos para que o ex-presidente Jair Bolsonaro (PL) seja ouvido pela Comissão Parlamentar Mista de Inquérito (CPMI) do dia 8 de janeiro.

Segundo o general, a comissão precisa ser conduzida "sem aquele clima de oba-oba, sem aquele clima de circo, sem aquele clima de bate-boca".

"No nosso caso, congressistas, precisamos apurar a invasão que houve aqui dentro do Congresso, esse é nosso principal mote para a CPMI.

 Independente do Planalto, STF que foi invadido, o Congresso as duas casas foram invadidas. Esse é o grande argumento para instalação dessa comissão mista.

Não vejo razão para chamar o presidente Bolsonaro, que no próprio inquérito que vem sendo conduzido no STF não foi chamado em nenhum momento. Estava fora do país", alegou Mourão em entrevista à CNN.

"A minha visão é que houve uma grande arruaça. Vários arruaceiros devidamente identificados, sendo qualificados no inquérito e denunciados. Nós vamos procurar esclarecer porque o aparato de segurança não foi acionado", completou.

Mourão também criticou a escolha de Ricardo Capelli para o comando do Gabinete de Segurança Institucional (GSI), ironizando que o mesmo "entende tanto de segurança nacional ou pública quanto eu de física quântica".

Então pessoal mais isso ai não é so a opinião de mourão não, tem inúmeros deputados e senadores que também acham que o bolsonaro não precisa depor pois se nem no brasil ele estava, mais vamos ver as senas dos próximos episódios

Hi!

As some of you might know, southern Brazil, specifically the state of Rio Grande do Sul, has been struck by heavy rains and a consequential flood. The rains started on monday (29/abr) and only stopped today (5/mai), in Porto Alegre ─ the state capital, and the city i live in ─ and in the other cities nearby.

The lake that borders PoA (named Guaíba) has reached more than 5m up its normal level. This is higher than on the historic 1941 flood. The city's center ─ a big residential and commercial hub, beyond being the host of most of our public services (such as the city hall and the state government) ─ is completely taken by the water. Many other neighbourhoods were also affected.

Smaller cities that also border Guaíba were even more heavily affected, such as Eldorado do Sul, whose territory was almost 100% flooded.

The state is, for a lack of a better word, abandoned by the people that were supposed to aid.

Our governor, Eduardo Leite, is more worried about his plitical campaign ─ making dramatic videos, changing his facebook pfp to one of him with a public defense vest, making streams with no useful information ─ than with the people's lives. This year, he destinated only R$50.000 (~ USD250.000) for the Civil Defense. For the entire year. He is now, delegating the responsibility of recuperating our state to the Federal Government, stating that "the rbuilding of the RS will demand a Marshall Project".

Porto Alegre's mayor, Sebastião Mello, has vanished. He sold our city out to big enterprises ─ Melnick, Zaffari and Panvel, mainly ─, and hasn't destined any public resources to maintaining the Mauá wall (a wall built after the 1941 flood with a system made to protect the city from other floods), which caused many points to fail and the water to invade the city.

This is the danger we all face with a neoliberal system.

Neoliberalism is an individualist ideology. All these people and companies I named did close to nothing to help us. Or even made it worse. The Civil Defense, for example, published a map of all the areas that would be affected, but had to take it back, since it didn't consider the topography.

Its the people for the people.

This situation is being aided by people using their own resources. Donations of various natures and volunteer work. It is very beautiful, in a way. It shows that colaboration and union can do great things. It shows, at least to me, that the world can reach, one day, a self sustaining way of living, contrary to the ultra-individualistic capitalism some preach. Humans can, and are, good.

But it also lays out how much the people that govern us failed us.

Human lives were lost because of their negligency.

This flood isn't normal. It is a product of the huge levels of degradation multi-billionaire companies are causing the world, supported by higher class and their representatives. Eduardo Leite changed almost 500 points of our state's Environmental Code, for the worst, when he was first elected in 2019. His actions, and the actions of all other neoliberal politicians, such as our ex-president Bolsonaro, are what created this situation. They are responsible for everything that is going on here.

This flood isnt the only environmental crisis this state has faced in the last 6 months. This isn't the last one that will happen.

This text is, beyond a personal vent, a warning. We need to keep fighting against a system that is actively trying to kill us. Please, do not support ideals and people ─ especially if said people will rule you ─ that go against the environment, that preach that the capital, the money, the posesions, are more important than lives. Of the people, of the animals, of the environment. Fight for a better world, i know there can be one.

Always be aware of the climate in your areas. Things like this won't happen only here. Please be safe.

Sorry for the long post.
