Eduardo Bolsonaro and Ernesto Araújo’s war against Brazil – 11/26/2020

If the institutions were really working, as they say, Congressman Eduardo Bolsonaro (PSL-SP) would have been sanctioned a long time ago. There are numerous reasons. Just choose.

He could have been penalized for saying, in an interview with Leda Nagle, that a new AI-5 would be on the way in Brazil. According to the journalist, it was not a question of “if”, but of “when” authoritarian measures would be adopted in the country.

“The repeated apology for instruments of the dictatorship is subject to sanction”, said at the time the mayor, deputy Rodrigo Maia (DEM-RJ). Despite this, neither Maia nor Justice moved a drop to give a legal answer to the son of President 03.

Eduardo also gave reasons for being punished when, in June, he posted on his Instagram account a video of a boy singing while holding a gun. This attitude could – and should – have led to a lawsuit based on the Statute of Children and Adolescents, which prohibits such negative publicity.

There are other episodes along that line. There are no penalty signs.

While he remains unpunished, the deputy takes the opportunity to raise the level of unrest.

After several statements and posts on social media attacking China, Brazil’s main trading partner, Eduardo, who is chairman of the Chamber’s Foreign Relations Commission, has reached the height of madness.

Regarding 5G, he took to Twitter to express his support for the initiative of US President Donald Trump, the Clean Network consortium, against the Chinese, and wrote that the measure would avoid spying on the Asian country. He spoke of “repudiation of entities described as aggressive and enemies of freedom, such as the Communist Party of China.”

In an unprecedented response, the Chinese ambassador to Brazil hit Eduardo hard and made it clear that Brazil could lose a lot from this harangue. In the statement published on social networks, the embassy warned that the Brazilian authorities that follow this path “will bear the negative consequences and will have the historical responsibility of disturbing the normality of the China-Brazil alliance.”

The repercussion was immediate. Eduardo deleted the messages, deputies suggest that he be removed from the presidency of the Foreign Relations Commission, businessmen make critical evenings.

So far, however, there is no penalty.

On the contrary. The only concrete consequence was the letter from the portfolio led by Ernesto Araújo to the Chinese embassy complaining about the “offensive and disrespectful” content of the response to the president’s son 03.

Absurdly, the text says that “it is not appropriate” to discuss diplomatic affairs on social media, only the medium used by the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee to attack China.

So, like a spoiled child, Eduardo Bolsonaro is once again watching his antics go by in white clouds. It does not matter if the romp can represent a monumental loss for Brazilian foreign trade.

Instead of punishment, son 03 received Araújo’s protection. The two are obeying the orders of guru Steve Bannon, the American social media strategist, partner of Donald Trump, who a few months ago was arrested on charges of embezzling donations sent to build the wall between the United States and Mexico.

Bannon, the guru of the world’s extreme right, is the voice that speaks inside the troubled heads of Eduardo and Ernesto when they attack China.

The gringo defends his own interests and those of Trump.

The deputy and the chancellor, who were supposed to defend national interests, also chose to play the American game. They attack anyone to help make America “great again.”

The ingenuity with which Eduardo Bolsonaro and Ernesto Araújo wage this particular war against Brazilian sovereignty is one of several signs that, contrary to what many say, such institutions are not working as they should here.
