STF divides the Armed Forces and increases pressure on Bolsonaro

The statements made by former commanders of the Armed Forces to the Federal Police, which were made public last week, highlighted a scenario of soldiers divided over the hypothesis considered by former president Jair Bolsonaro of intervening in the result of the 2022 elections. Some of them say they believe that it is the Judiciary itself that is creating fissures in the Armed Forces, at the same time as it tries to gather evidence that will result in Bolsonaro’s arrest.

Political analyst Leandro Gabiati, from Dominium Consultoria, will debate the role of the military and Bolsonaro’s political future on this week’s Assunto Capital program. What will the former president’s strategy be to maintain his political influence even under increasing pressure from the Supreme Court?

Assunto Capital is a videocast broadcast live from Brasília, where journalists from People’s Gazette they talk in a relaxed way with parliamentarians, members of the Executive and analysts about the hottest political topics of the week.
