The still president of Brazil, Jair Bolsonaro, is said to be disappointed and hurt with the top officers of the Armed Forces for not having publicly supported those who, since their defeat at the polls, are crowding the gates of the barracks demanding military intervention in the institutions.
According to the news portal Metropoles, he is most angry with General Walter Braga Netto, who in these elections was his candidate for vice-president, since he had promised him that he would convince the Armed Forces to invoke Article 142 and carry out a coup d’état.
In this sense, Braga Netto has even been giving possible deadlines to Bolsonaro as to when the military would comply with the wishes of the thousands of people who have been staging blockades and violent protests since Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva won last October 30.
Although these mobilizations are still going on, the last ones that took place in Brasília a week ago on the occasion of the delivery of credentials to Lula by the Superior Electoral Court (TSE), left several vehicles and furniture set on fire and even attempts to take over a Federal Police headquarters.
As a consequence, the Supreme Court ordered a hundred operations against those suspected of instigating and participating in those anti-democratic mobilizations, including the seizure of several firearms. Among the targets were some politicians close to Bolsonaro.
