Luis Nassif's article, "Bolsonaro já n?o governa mais o Brasil, diz Luis Nassif" (Bolsonaro no longer rules Brazil, says Luis Nassif), makes it quite evident that Bolsonaro no longer governs Brazil because he encounters resistance inside and outside the government itself against his purpose of ending social isolation to protect the Brazilian population from Coronavirus. Nassif's article shows that Bolsonaro lost power with the military, he no longer runs the Ministry of Health, does not run the government's economic area whose actions taken to support the poor and micro, small and medium-sized companies that took place at the initiative of the National Congress not responding to his will, which is for the economic system to operate as before the crisis, he lost support to the more rational right-wing electorate, he lost support from broad sectors of the Judiciary and the National Congress and, above all, he received frank opposition from the overwhelming majority of governors.
Luis Nassif states that Bolsonaro has only the following instruments for exercising the power of President:
? Access to the national network for pronouncements.
? The network of fake News from hate office
? The grumbles of General Augusto Heleno, probably the most inept military man who has passed through the public area.
According to Nassif, there will be two more predictable movements for Bolsonaro and his children who are part of the hate office. On the Bolsonaros side, the non-conformity with the situation that will result in the practice of new virtual crimes. On the side of the investigative bodies, the acceleration of inquiries about their children. If it were a minimally rational group, the Bolsonaros would collect their weapons and try to compose themselves for a new confrontation later on. But they are too rough. Cornered, they will tend to double the bet.
Nassif says there will inevitably be a final shock, in which Bolsonaro will try to conflagrate the country involving bases of the Military Police, the truckers connected to him (who are not a majority in the class) and more allied groups, already emptied. We now have a toothless hyena. What will happen from now on has a certainty and an unknown. The certainty is the end of his power as president. The unknown is how it will be taken from power. Leaving power, it is a matter of time before he and his family are tried by national courts and international courts and justice is done a few decades late: he should have been arrested at the time he was expelled from the army.
