In the anything-goes election, the only thing you can’t do is not to get reelected. Based on the maxim of politics, adapted to Bolsonarism, the command of the campaign for the reelection of President Jair Bolsonaro put the “office of hate” – structure, in the Planalto, designed to promote fake news and attack opponents – to resort, once again, to the episode of the stabbing, which occurred in September 2018. Through an obscure portal, they are trying to ‘plant’ a non-existent statement by the author of the crime, Adélio Bispo, that the mastermind was an opposition party. The Federal Police has already concluded the investigation, says that there was no such statement, and that Adélio acted alone.

Talk to the audience

By coming back with the episode of the stabbing, besides cheering up his audience of radicals, crazy about a conspiracy theory, Bolsonaro shows that he felt the blow, in other words, the weight of the electoral polls that indicate a rejection that borders 60% of the electorate. Seven months before the elections, the level is already starting to drop. And, as it seems, we will only really count on the Justice Department, TSE and STF, to stop the disinformation, since the platforms are slow to stop abuses and profit from fake news. About to leave the presidency of the TSE, Minister Luis Roberto Barroso, in an interview to O Globo, said that Bolsonaro “benefits the criminals of the digital militia.

Barroso opens the word

According to the minister, “Brazil is not a mother-in-law’s house to have applications that make apology to Nazism, terrorism, that sell weapons or that are the seat of attacks to democracy, which our generation fought so hard to build”. For him, freedom of speech is not freedom to sell guns, propagate terrorism and apologia for Nazism. “It is not a space for marginals to attack democracy,” says Barroso for those who manage the platforms that are in the country and should submit to Brazilian laws, as occurs in other parts of the world.

Day of Fire

On the two-year anniversary of the so-called ‘Day of Fire’, when ranchers and businessmen carried out a ‘joint effort’ to burn down the Amazon forest in Pará, nobody was punished or arrested. In one of the places devastated by fire, the Sustainable Development Project (PDS) Terra Nossa, soybean plantations were observed, reveals an excellent article on the portal Repórter Brasil. Bolsonaro’s” agenda continues to pass, contrary to the purpose of this type of project, which should have social and ecological interest, destined to the subsistence of the settled families.

Illegal gold

Speaking of Pará, the gold extracted illegally in the mines of the Kayapó Indigenous Land produces billionaire profits for the Italian group Chimet SPA, specialized in refining the ore for making jewelry and gold bars, kept in European and American banks. It is one of the highest earning companies in Italy. During Bolsonaro’s administration, it had the highest revenue in its history: more than R$ 18 billion, an average increase of 76%. With the ‘liberated’ mining, through a government ordinance, they will profit even more, while the local population gets poisoned with mercury and sees their rivers die.
