Suspicions of government omission in 8/1 are likely to persist after the end of the CPI

The suspicion of omission by federal security forces in the acts of vandalism on January 8th will persist after the end of the Joint Parliamentary Commission of Inquiry (CPMI) designed to investigate these facts. The unresolved gaps will continue due to the obstruction promoted by the government majority in the CPMI.

In an interview with People’s GazetteSenator Esperidião Amin (PP-SC) stated that this means that the evidence of inaction related to the Minister of Justice, Flávio Dino, who did not activate the National Public Security Force in the appropriate time, will remain as a persistent pressure on the authorities of the federal government.

Senator Eliziane Gama (PSD-MA), rapporteur of the commission, scheduled the reading of her report for October 17, thus ending the work of the collegiate, without including investigations into Dino, of whom she is a political ally. Since the beginning of the CPMI, the opposition’s main request has been to summon the head of the National Force on January 8 to explain why the corporation did not act.

Although Amin considers it prudent to wait until Thursday (28) to see if an agreement will be reached between the government and the opposition to approve the latest CPMI requirements, the senator’s impression is that the government officials managed to create “unnecessary waste” without, in However, strengthen their allegations of an alleged coup d’état led by former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL).

“By not clarifying the increasingly evident fact that the corporation itself was aware of the intelligence services’ warnings about the risks on January 8 and that its troops were available throughout the period of the acts of vandalism, the government is now running the risk of risk of deliberately leaving doubts hanging in the air”, analyzed the senator.

Likewise, by insisting on not investigating the National Force’s omission, they will also consecrate the suspicion that will survive the commission.

The president of the CPMI, deputy Arthur Maia (União Brasil), placed the approval of the request to summon the head of the National Force as a precondition for discussing other requests, including those proposed by government supporters who aim to interrogate former commanders of the Armed Forces about their alleged meeting with Bolsonaro to discuss an alleged military intervention plan.

“Without clarifying the fact that it becomes clearer every day that the corporation’s own warnings were added to those of the intelligence services about the risks of January 8th and that its platoons were available throughout the period of the acts of vandalism, the The worst thing for the government now is precisely to deliberately leave doubt in the air”, he analyzed.
