Former President Jair Bolsonaro “deliberately” stimulated actions that would enable the institutional rupture-including the permanence of camps set by supporters in front of various headquarters. The stretch appears in the complaint made by the Attorney General’s Office (PGR) against Bolsonaro and 33 people for attempted coup d’état in 2022.

The employee [tenente-coronel Mauro Cid]he even states that this was one of the reasons why the then President Jair Bolsonaro did not demobilize the people in front of the barracks, ”said the document, citing Cid’s denunciation of the Federal Police (PF).
Another excerpt from the complaint cites Bolsonaro “given hopes” that something would happen in order to convince the armed forces to realize the coup. “The employee, even, states that this was one of the reasons why the then president did not demobilize the people who were in front of the quarters.”
“In this regard, the employee also recalls that the commanders of the three forces signed a note authorizing the maintenance of people’s permanence in front of the quarters by order of then -President Jair Bolsonaro,” the document said. According to PGR, former minister and general Braga Netto, also incited movement in the blocks, maintaining direct contact with supporters of the former president.
According to the complaint, Mauro Cid cites a video in which the general talks to protesters in front of a barracks and asks them to keep hope “because it was not over yet and something would happen.” “The employee reaffirms that both President Jair Bolsonaro and General Braga Netto hoped that something could happen to convince the armed forces to blow and therefore encouraged the maintenance of mobilizations in front of the barracks.”
