Informant Says Michelle and Eduardo Bolsonaro Were Part of the Most Radical Wing of Brazil's Coup Plot

The former first lady and congressman were not indicted in the Federal Police report; the former president's defense criticizes the leak

The head of Jair Bolsonaro’s (PL) Office of Orders, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, stated in his first plea bargain testimony that the "most radical" wing of the group advocating for a coup d’état in Brazil at the end of 2022 included then-First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro and Federal Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro (PL-SP).

The full testimony by Cid, dated August 28, 2023, was obtained by columnist Elio Gaspari. In November that year, the digital media outlet UOL revealed that Cid’s testimony identified Michelle and Eduardo as instigators of the coup.

"These people were in constant conversation with the former president, urging him to stage a coup d’état, claiming he had the support of the people and the CACs [collectors, sport shooters, and hunters] to carry it out," reads the transcript of Cid’s testimony, now made public.

Será que vai conseguir ir aos EUA?

Por Carta Capital

莫赖斯的决定接受了共和国总检察长保罗·戈内特的建议，他指出，此次旅行“旨在满足申请人的私人利益，但并非必不可少”。

Moraes' decision accepted the recommendation of the Attorney General of the Republic, Paulo Gonet, who pointed out that the trip “aims to satisfy the private interest of the applicant, which is not essential”.

В своем решении Мораес принял во внимание рекомендацию Генерального прокурора Республики Пауло Гонета, который указал, что поездка «направлена ​​на удовлетворение частных интересов заявителя, что не является существенным».

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

Wife and son encouraged Bolsonaro to stage a coup in Brazil, Mauro Cid says

In testimony, former aide claims ex-president was advised by three groups after Lula’s victory

Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, who served as an aide-de-camp to the Presidency, has disclosed that following his 2022 election defeat, former President Jair Bolsonaro was advised by three distinct groups. The most radical faction, which supported a coup to prevent Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva from taking office, included then-First Lady Michelle Bolsonaro and Representative Eduardo Bolsonaro.

The details of Mr. Cid’s testimony, given on August 28, 2023, were unveiled by columnist Elio Gaspari in the newspapers O Globo and Folha de S.Paulo this Sunday (26). Valor Econômico later accessed the information.

The Federal Police’s final report on the coup plot was submitted to the Federal Supreme Court (STF) in November. A total of 40 individuals were indicted, though Michelle and Eduardo Bolsonaro were not included. The case now rests with Prosecutor General Paulo Gonet, who is responsible for filing charges against those involved. Mauro Cid’s testimony, however, remains under seal.

During his testimony, Mr. Cid indicated that the radical faction also included former Representative Onyx Lorenzoni, a minister under Bolsonaro; Senators Jorge Seif and Magno Malta; and General Mario Fernandes, who is currently imprisoned.

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.

[thoughtlessarse]

Brazilian Supreme Federal Court (STF) Justice Alexandre De Moraes deemed former President Jair Bolsonaro a flight risk and refused to return his passport, which the retired Army captain needed to attend Donald Trump's inauguration in Washington DC on Jan. 20. Bolsonaro is under investigation in various cases and had been ordered to surrender his travel document. In a decision published Thursday, De Moraes said that the former president's recent behavior indicated the possibility of an attempt to flee Brazil. The magistrate quoted speeches by Bolsonaro and his son, Federal Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro, in favor of fleeing to Argentina on Jan. 8, 2023. These statements and others published in the press were used to support the decision. De Moraes also cited an interview given by the former president to the Folha de Sao Paulo newspaper in November last year, in which he “considered the possibility of escaping and requesting political asylum to avoid possible criminal liability in Brazil.” “The scenario that led to the imposition of a ban on leaving the country, with the surrender of passports, continues to indicate the possibility of an attempt by the indicted Jair Messias Bolsonaro to evade the application of criminal law, in the same way that he has been advocating fleeing the country and [seeking] asylum abroad for the various people convicted by the Plenary of the Federal Supreme Court in cases related to this investigation and related to the 'attempted coup d'état and violent abolition of the democratic rule of law',” the magistrate noted in his rationale.

Isabela Dias at Mother Jones:

It didn’t take long for the attempted assassination of former President Donald Trump at a rally in Pennsylvania to galvanize right-wing politicians and supporters of former far-right leader Jair Bolsonaro in Brazil. About a month before the election in 2018, Bolsonaro, then the frontrunner, was stabbed on the campaign trail. While Trump seems to have recovered from the shot in the ear, his Brazilian counterpart had to undergo a colostomy and several abdominal surgeries in the aftermath of the stabbing. The incident with Bolsonaro has lessons for how the attempted assassination of Trump could affect this year’s US election. In Brazil afterward, false theories spread—both on the left and the right—of either a staged attack or a purposeful attempt to kill a dangerous threat to the establishment. Critics softened rheotric. Right-wing actors blamed the media for instigating the attack. And the discussion about Bolsonaro’s anti-democratic politics became notably more complex.

After the Trump news, Brazilians on the right were quick to see the similarities and decried the shooting as part of a systematic persecution against conservatives. On X, Eduardo Bolsonaro, a congressman and the third son of the one-time Brazilian president, shared a photo montage of a bloodied Trump and a pained Bolsonaro. “Trust me: he is already elected,” he wrote in English. “We have experience with a situation like that, we know the enemy—and you too.” Senator Flávio Bolsonaro, the eldest son, also chimed in, blaming the left: “They tried to kill Trump, they tried to kill Bolsonaro, but the (extreme) right is the one accused of being violent. You may not like Trump or Bolsonaro, but ask yourself: why did they want to kill them?” A debunked video dubbed in Portuguese with a supposed message from Trump to Bolsonaro said, “They tried to do the same thing to me as they did to you.”

When asked about the shooting, Bolsonaro suggested “only conservatives suffer attacks.” Echoing talking points from some US Christian Nationalist groups, Bolsonaro said it was “a miracle from heaven” that Trump “was saved by a matter of a few centimeters,” just like it was a miracle that he survived in 2018. Calling the Republican nominee the “biggest world leader of the moment,” Bolsonaro, who has been barred from running for office until 2030, posted, “See you at the inauguration.” Earlier this year, the police confiscated Bolsonaro’s passport as part of a sweeping search-and-seizure operation linked to an ongoing federal investigation in Brazil—overseen by the Supreme Court—into Bolsonaro and his allies’ alleged coup-like efforts to overturn the results of the 2022 elections. Brazil’s President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva condemned the attack as a loss for democracy.

[...] The shooting also resurfaced false theories, from both sides of the political spectrum, about the attack against Bolsonaro six years ago. In September 2018, Adélio Bispo, who had previously been a member of a left-wing party, stabbed Bolsonaro in the abdomen. Although police investigations concluded that the perpetrator, who was arrested on the spot, acted alone, Bolsonaro and his supporters insisted that the stabbing had been ordered by someone and tried to blame it on the left. At the time, Bolsonaro called the left “aggressive,” saying they “have tried to eliminate their opponents no matter how.” His supporters have continued to use the stabbing to cultivate an image of Bolsonaro as a “political martyr.” Meanwhile, some on the left raised doubts about the incident, suggesting it had been staged and calling it a “fake stabbing.” After Saturday, André Janones, one of Lula’s allies in Congress, joked about Bolsonaro having “taught” Trump how to fake an attack and questioned the seriousness of the attempted assassination, mentioning the fact that Trump asked for his shoes amidst the chaos. “At least this time they remembered to provide the ‘blood,'” he posted on X. In response, a far-right congressman aligned with Bolsonaro has vowed to send a letter to the US Embassy requesting the cancelation of Janones’ US visa.

The impact of the assassination attempt against Trump on the presidential race remains to be seen. But there could be hints in what happened with Bolsonaro. Some political analysts in Brazil believe that staying away from the public stage during recovery ultimately helped the far-right Brazilian candidate insulate himself from fiercer criticism and potential debate confrontations. A voter intention poll by the Economist from that time shows a rise in support for Bolsonaro and a decline for the opponent Fernando Haddad, from the Worker’s Party, after September.

The attempted assassination of Donald Trump in 2024 in the US and the stabbing of Jair Bolsonaro in 2018 in Brazil have some things in common: they brought increased support for the person in polls (though it is too early to tell in Trump’s case).
