Nelson de Sá: After ‘January 6th style’ attack, PF reacts like FBI

by

On Chinese portals such as Sohu and others, Monday’s attack on the Federal Police was reported, highlighting the “fierce” action of the demonstrators, in “coup turbulence”, plus the question: “Does Jair Bolsonaro want to return?”.

In the report: “After Bolsonaro said his soul was wounded, his supporters attacked the police headquarters in the Brazilian capital. Buses and cars were set on fire by angry radicals. The scene was chaotic”.

The text relates the episode to the invasion of the Capitol in Washington, on January 6, 2021. The comparison was also highlighted by the English The Guardian, pointing out the violence “January 6 style”:

In the Washington Post, “Bolsonaro Supporters Attack Police Headquarters in Brazil”. Three days earlier, he added in the text, “in his first public statement in 40 days, Bolsonaro appealed to the crowd to take the matter into their own hands”.

One more day and the German Der Spiegel, among others, reported that “Lula accuses Bolsonaro of inciting fascist demonstrators” —amid the coverage of the neo-Nazi “conspiracy” that Germany itself discovered and is trying to stifle.

Finally, on Thursday, Bloomberg reported that the “Police are looking for demonstrators” in Brasília and seven states for previous anti-democratic acts. In the same text, the information that the Electoral Justice “is investigating Bolsonaro and some allies for casting doubts on the result of the election”.

In the also American Associated Press, “the dozens of warrants” happen in the face of “the concern that Bolsonaro is preparing the ground for an insurrection along the lines of the Capitol”.

HOPE

In the Financial Times, listening to analysts such as Robin Brooks, “the fall in inflation and the smaller increases in interest rates in the United States and in other advanced economies give hope for a recovery for emerging countries”.

Brooks, “the bald” influencer of the Brazilian financial market, shared an assessment by his deputy in the economic leadership of the Institute of International Finance, Sergi Lanau, on social media:

“In isolation, Brazil’s spending package is not reckless. 0.3% increase in primary spending compared to 2022; still spending slightly less than in 2019. The problem is the overall fiscal position coupled with political uncertainty🇧🇷

BALANCING

At Bloomberg, Fernando Haddad “promises to balance budget with social responsibility”. On Reuters, an agency with also more economic coverage, the next finance minister says that “fiscal expansion does not help the economy at this moment”.
