President Air of Bolsonaro as a consequence of long chains made in recent months of action, was in a very difficult situation – he could face impeachment. Attempts to run this procedure has already been attempted by the opposition, but to no avail.
Now the request for impeachment in the local Parliament filed yesterday allies of Bolsonaro, the MBL party, which supported his candidacy in the elections of 2018. The country’s Supreme court on Monday also gave rise to the investigation against the incumbent.
Formally, the political crisis in Brazil did not arise today. One of its origins began with the ouster in 2016, President Dilma Rousseff, and more precisely, with the 2014 presidential election. After that, the political system of the country constantly is in a fever. Corruption scandals, questionable trials, dirty political technologies, the increase in crime has become the norm for modern Brazil. Who came to power in 2018 on a wave of anti-leftist sentiment Air of Bolsonaro, it seems, has not coped with the task of consolidating power and restoring order in the country, rather the contrary.
the Key factor that will seriously accelerate the fall of the image of Bolsonaro, was the resignation of the Minister of justice sérgio Moro, the same judge who took part in the proceedings against the former President Lula da Silva and the workers ‘ Party. Leaving his post Moreau filed against Gaira of Bolsonaro several charges – from fraud and forgery of signatures, before the intervention in the Supreme court and the Federal police. The former Minister supported their statements with passages from personal correspondence with the President and made it clear that it is not only incriminating evidence, which he has in stock.
After that, the country’s Prosecutor General Augusto Aras sent to the Supreme court a petition for the initiation of an investigation against the head of the state voiced Moro points. Judge Celso de Mello reviewed the petition and gave him a stroke. In the decision the judge noted that the President can not be exempted from criminal liability for acts committed by him. “No one, including the chief Executive of the country cannot be above the Constitution and laws of the Republic,” said de Mello.
Now, the Federal police will conduct an investigation and report its results to the Prosecutor General, and only then she will be able to nominate against the President formal charges. Then follows a multi-stage procedure which may at first be the removal of Bolsonaro from the government for 180 days, and then – deprivation of the mandate of the President. Besides the above departments in the struggle for the resignation of the head of state has joined the country’s Parliament.
In the lower house of the Brazilian Congress already is collecting signatures for the creation of a specialNoy parliamentary Commission to investigate the charges against Bolsonaro charges. More and more parties and individual politicians submit to the Chairman of the lower house Rodrigo Maia requests for impeachment. All of them have accumulated more than 30, but no one has not yet been brought to bear. The situation is reminiscent of the situation the end of 2015, when a similar situation was Dilma Rousseff. And the then Chairman of the lower house, Eduardo Cunha, an outgoing, by the way, 2017 15-year prison sentence for corruption, initiated by one of the requests for impeachment only in the moment when the opposition Rousseff political players finally agreed. Now clear with the formation of a United anti-bolanowska front there, but as the history of Brazilian politics, things can change at any time.
public opinion Polls conducted around the country in the last week demonstrate a sharp drop in the rating of the incumbent President. According to the analytical center Atlas Politico 64% of Brazilians have a negative attitude to the activities of Bolsonaro and 54% support his impeachment, and only 37% against. According to a survey conducted by DataFolha, the impeachment of supports 46% of the population, while only 20% said they “believe the President, not Sergio Moro”. It was also found that Brazilians in the majority did not support the decision of Bolsonaro about sending in his resignation in the midst of the epidemic of the coronavirus, health Minister Louis Manzetti.
the Possible resignation of Bolsonaro and deepening of the political crisis can Wake up in the country a clear request for a fundamental change of the political system. In recent years, on the sidelines of the political centers are increasingly talking about parliamentarism, and some even about the return of the monarchy. History shows that to be President of Brazil is not easy – since 1926, only 5 of the democratically elected presidents were able to take office and complete their terms. This Eurasia Gaspar Dutra, Juscelino Kubitschek, Fernando Henrique Cardoso, Lula da Silva and Dilma Rousseff (is this her first presidential term). Six were removed as a consequence of the coup, one resigned, two died, the other left due to illness and two were overtaken by impeachment.
