I think it is an exclusive article for subscribers of the newsletter because it does not appear in the articles published on the website https://theintercept.com/brasil/ but you can read in full just below.

The entity’s Newsletter points in a direction contrary to what I stated in my last article: Military Coup at the 1964 Coup party?

The title “ Cheiro forte de impeachment ” is followed by the very illuminating first paragraph: “ Bolsonaro felt it. Only time will allow us to assess the scale of the events of the past week, but the vaccine race was one of the hardest blows taken against his government in just over two years. ”

The newsletter signed by Leandro Demori, Executive Editor, adds in the first paragraph: “ The presidential silence contrasts with the furor of social networks and the parallel world of WhatsApp: we only talk about the vaccine and the“ victory ”of the governor of São Paulo, João Doria “.

The article concludes, before the last paragraphs in which he asks for money to continue his investigative work: “ It is too early to say that Jair Bolsonaro is in the last, but it is a fact that his government is weakened as never before. There is something concrete going on and the next few weeks are very important. In addition to the end of the aid and the next vaccination steps, we have the election of the mayor, essential for the government’s survival. There is a growing demand for impeachment. “

And, as if it were already Hallelujah Saturday, he calls on his followers to work out judas in advance: “ We live an excellent time to go over the“ myth ”: it is time to expose to Brazilians the truth about their government, to denounce their relationship with the centão, beat mercilessly on Carluxo’s crazy narratives and the lies elaborated by the military ”.

What will come next? The coup or the impeachment? Is The Intercept or this journalist who writes to you right?

The future will tell us!

Strong smell of impeachment

Bolsonaro felt it. Only time will allow us to assess the scale of the events of the past week, but the vaccine race was one of the hardest blows against his government in just over two years. The presidential silence contrasts with the furor of social networks and the parallel world of WhatsApp: we only talk about the vaccine and the “victory” of the governor of São Paulo, João Doria. In a meme spread yesterday, Bolsonaro appeared in a barber’s chair as if he were a man who got lost in the street. There is no better portrait.I monitor some groups in the main networks and the feeling is the same in all of them: the sewage system does not know what to do. Earlier today, when entering a tab where I gather “Brazil Right-Wing Influencers” on Facebook, I thought the pages had been hacked: the vast majority spoke well of the vaccine and criticized Bolsonaro for his inertia and ignorance. Memes about the logistical skills of the minister-general who occupies health have taken over the networks of the president’s supporters along with many others who portray Doria as the winner. Eduardo Pazuello looks just like a man with panache attitudes.

The XP / Ipespe index survey, released on Monday – done, therefore, before CoronaVac’s approval on Sunday – already has the highest rate of rejection to the government since August 2020. This broth has been boiling for a few weeks and the end of the emergency aid will further increase the temperature. From 35% in December, the rate of respondents who consider the government to be bad or very bad jumped to 40% – and the rate of those who rated the government as good or excellent fell from 38% to 32%. Among evangelicals, one of the government’s most important support groups, approval dropped from 53% in December to 40%. Disapproval rose from 26% to 36%. 

Feeling the symptoms of rejection, after almost a year of campaigning against the vaccine and all the measures that could reduce deaths, the ex-captain was left to put aside the fallacy of “early treatment” and to stick to two strategies . The first is to use General Pazuello as a shield.

In the first hours after the vaccine was approved, Bolsonaro disappeared. The general put his face on press conferences, events and interviews. Always subservient, making promises that are denied hours later and without any embarrassment when telling brand new lies and showing his enormous unpreparedness to deal with the biggest health crisis in a century. Pazuello’s resilience is shocking: he is willing to surrender whatever remains of his dignity to defend the government. When he leaves the ministry, he will have no credibility, nothing to be proud of. He will always be recognized on the street as the man who knew that oxygen was lacking in Manaus, but did nothing.

It will go down in history as the minister who is unable to organize the delivery of just over 4 million vaccines to states in a country of more than 200 million inhabitants or, most basic, unable to negotiate input purchases with Indians and Chinese. His best excuse is that “India’s time zone is complicated”. A teenager lying to his mother would do better.

Bolsonaro’s other strategy is laughable. After months burping nonsense like “vaChina”, “tight pants”, “I will not take it, and that is the end”, “becoming an alligator”, there is nothing more to do. The way is to try to say that the federal government supported the production of the vaccine. It’s a lie. Too late to stick.  Mito not only discredited the vaccine, it operated behind the scenes to disrupt the process. He wants to pay for the father of someone else’s son. It’s basically a kidnapping attempt.

It is too early to say that Jair Bolsonaro is in the last, but it is a fact that his government is weakened as never before. There is something concrete going on and the next few weeks are very important. In addition to the end of the aid and the next vaccination steps, we have the election of the mayor, essential for the government’s survival. There is a growing demand for impeachment. We live in an excellent moment to get to the top of the “myth”: it is time to expose to Brazilians the truth about his government, to denounce his relationship with the centão, to beat mercilessly on Carluxo’s hallucinating narratives and on the lies elaborated by the military.

This is the journalism that Intercept is interested in   at the moment: journalism that reports responsibly, investigates carefully, denounces with courage. All of this without failing to be guided by the public interest, the defense of the rights of Brazilians and public health. 

We want to speed up our work in the coming weeks, we have plans for that, we know how to do adversary and impact journalism like no one else and we have plenty of courage. We just lack the necessary support to make all the resources available to independent journalism that will make a difference in the near future.

Yes, everything that Intercept receives as a donation goes to journalism and only to him. We have no investors who receive profit sharing. We are a huge community of professionals and readers who have a well-defined mission: to do independent journalism that makes an impact.

We are living in a very important moment, I have no doubt. That’s why I ask you: do you want to do something today? Help Intercept with citizen support, fair and full of purpose. He has the power to make a difference, to turn the tide.
