The subject that prompted the cancellation and the meeting was Veja magazine’s report this weekend that an army general staff officer had been implicated in a plan devised in December last year to prevent the then president’s inauguration. Electing Lula da Silva and keeping the presidential loser, Jair Bolsonaro, in power.

The existence of a plot by people very close to Jair Bolsonaro, including retired military personnel or working people who hold political positions in the government, to carry out a coup is nothing new, morning mailFor example, already on May 5, the participation of Bolsonaro’s aide, lieutenant colonel on active duty, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, in preparing for this democratic break, was already progressing. The novelty now presented by the magazine which caused such a stir in Brasília was the discovery of the involvement of another high-ranking official on active duty in the Army, and of the General Staff, Colonel Jean Lound Jr., in this conspiracy. who in the messages revealed by the post is pressuring Cid to quickly launch a coup d’état to “save” Brazil from Lula.
