From Sao Paulo
On All Souls’ Day, the tropical nazism sprouted again from the Brazilian sewers in St. Catarina. In San Miguel del Oeste, a city in that state very close to the border with Misiones, several hundred coup plotters gave the Hitler salute while singing the anthem. They chose to gather in front of the headquarters of the 14th Mechanized Cavalry Regiment. At its gates and in front of a disused tank, they were filmed celebrating the criminal occurrence. They went to demand the participation of the army in the destabilizing movement that does not recognize Lula’s electoral victory. The fact, which due to its seriousness motivated the intervention of the Public Prosecutor’s Office, occurred on the third day of agitation with roadblocks and mobilizations carried out by supporters of President Jair Bolsonaro.
Yes ok decreased the number of pickets produced mostly by truckers, according to San Pablo leaf they continued in fifteen states. The delayed and almost condescending presence of the Federal Highway Police (PRF) -colonized by the ruling party-, dissuaded in some cases and in others repressed the Bolsonaristas who called for a coup when ordered by the Federal Supreme Court (TSF). .
Who is Silvinei Vasques?
Your boss, Silvinei Vasques, was suggested for the post by one of the president’s sons, Flavio. His service record is too dirty. He was investigated by the Justice for collecting bribes, death threats and other crimes that were prescribed. His police file contains so many misdeeds and crimes that the government decreed “secrecy” for a hundred years regarding his career as an official when the digital media Metropoles requested information about him.
Vasques had come to the leadership of the PRF in April 2021 and was granted more and more financing power thanks to the secret orçamentos (budgets). It was not surprising then that he called to vote for Bolsonaro from his social networks and mounted operations in the Northeast of the country to prevent Lula supporters from participating in the election. Now he will have to answer to the Federal Public Ministry (MPF) for crimes against the democratic state and malfeasance.
The demonstrations that began on Sunday night the 30th to reject the result of the vote were not spontaneous. They were set up at least two weeks before by Telegram and Whatsapp, and were also broadcast on Youtube by characters such as the retired soldier Durval Ferreira or certain spaces of the extreme right with thousands of followers on the networks: the Confederation of the Brazilian Right, Conservatives, the group Renato Barros and civil society OCS, among others.
On the outskirts of this city, the main roadblock occurred between the night of the 30th and the early morning of the 31st, when traffic was interrupted on the highway that leads to the Guarulhos airport. Dozens of flights had to be delayed or cancelled. Already around noon on Monday, the coup plotters ran to the side of the highway and stood there dressed in their Brazilian team jerseys and green and yellow flags.
The truck drivers who blocked roads were in many cases fined, others feted by the Military Police – as was seen in San Pablo when four uniformed men saluted the coup plotters – and in the last 24 hours it was noted that the cuts began to decrease. In Minas Gerais they went from 12 to 8, in Rio Grande do Sul the Police reported that there were none left, but there was one exception: Santa Catarina. The state whose beaches are chosen every summer by tens of thousands of Argentines, from Florianópolis to Camboriú.
Bolsonaro got 69 percent of the votes in Santa Catarina. The Itajaí Valley is the Lebensraum or German vital space, a statement that arises from the Hitlerian colonization doctrine of the 30s and 40s in Brazil. In that southern region stands the mountain city of Blumenau, famous for its beer festival.
In 2018, Jair Bolsonaro got 83.95 percent of the votes in the second round that took him to the presidency against 16.05 for Fernando Haddad of the PT. It was no coincidence that he won with that difference four years ago and that now he is imposing himself again. The first Nazi cell in the country was founded there in 1928. As was seen this Wednesday in San Miguel del Oeste, the Führer’s ideology germinated the seeds that his ancestors planted in the region.
When the group of women and men settled on BR-163 in front of the Mechanized Cavalry barracks, they began to sing the Brazilian anthem and simultaneously held their right arm up, symbolizing the Nazi salute. There are not a few who see themselves doing it. The images were taken from what could be the top of a vehicle. The cell phone carrier pans the camera that portrays the situation now in the hands of Justice. The state prosecutor’s office began an investigation to identify the coup plotters sympathetic to Nazism.
At the last minute, President Bolsonaro addressed all those who blocked roads. “I want to ask you to unblock the routes, the closure of highways is not legal…” he suggested in a 2-minute video where he also spoke about the legitimacy of the protests. He signed off with a comment about how he stimulated patriotic sentiment during his four years in office, the green and yellow colors of the flag, and the defense of family and freedom. Almost a foretaste of his farewell. A balance that will not end as he would have liked but that with his silence of almost two days aroused the worst anti-democratic feelings.
