Especially the vice president Hamilton Mourão, also a general, ended up embodying the role of the dove in the most difficult moments of the shock that has divided Brazil since the beginning of the Bolsonaro government.

The heads of the three Armed Forces, however, sympathized with Bolsonaro, enraged by the Supreme Court’s decision to block the appointment of the new police chief because it was considered inappropriate, given that Alexandre Ramagem He is close to the President’s family and a personal friend of his children, all three under investigation by the judiciary.
