Rui Costa: government wants to separate the institutional role of the Armed Forces from individual action

‘Time to settle accounts’, says Ana Flor about meeting between Lula and commanders of the Armed Forces said to the blog this Thursday (19) the chief minister of the Civil House, Rui Costa. “We want to show that the institution of the State has a very relevant role for the country and is above a position here and there, individual preferences”, stated Costa. President Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva has lunch this Friday (20) with the Minister of Defense, José Múcio Monteiro, and the commanders of the three Forces. The central theme, according to Costa, is to discuss projects for the Army, Navy and Air Force. The strategy is to work so that the Armed Forces’ technological development in the country’s defense work overlaps with the ideological engagement that took place throughout the Bolsonaro government. Work has already been underway, since before his inauguration, to rebuild a relationship of trust between Lula and his team and the military. The choice of Múcio for Defense – a “moderate” who got close to Jair Bolsonaro throughout the government, but who is also very close to Lula – is part of that. Lula’s criticisms of failures in the intelligence of military bodies, voiced in an interview with Globonews this Wednesday, are a demonstration of this lack of trust. Another example is the debate on the role of the Institutional Security Cabinet (GSI), made up of military personnel, in ensuring the personal security of the president. In the interview, Lula also stated that all those involved in the January 8 coup acts will be punished, regardless of rank. He was referring to military already identified – and that will still be – in the funding, support and acts against the headquarters of the three powers.
