• Brazil Lula faces the Presidency with the challenge of approaching the center

  • Elections The surgical operation between the Brazilian institutions and the great powers that annulled any coup attempt by Bolsonaro

Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva

had hoped for two days off after the exhausting campaign that took him to the presidency of Brazil for the third time, but his was typical of a naive: they did not give him even a handful of hours.

To the hermetic silence of President

Jair Bolsonaro

, who did not call him to congratulate him or publicly acknowledge his defeat, was added an extensive visit by Argentine President

Alberto Fernández

, and a roadblock by Bolsonaro truckers who even partially blocked the airport. of Guarulhos, the most important in South America.


What did Bolsonaro do on the Monday after the elections that he lost by 50.9 to 49.1 percent?

He

met with one of his sons, Flavio,

who is a federal senator, while his team worked on a text in which the president acknowledged his defeat, albeit with nuances.

"The document suggested to the president

intends to show respect for the democratic regime, but it was carefully prepared so as not to leave Bolsonaro's militants orphans

. It is feared that a totally legalistic position will cause the loss of the most radical supporters, who were on the president's side. and they helped propagate questions against the electoral system," said

Folha de Sao Paulo

.



The possibility of a "coup", of a Bolsonaro not knowing the result, is already minimal.

While the president refused to call Lula, his vice president,

Hamilton Morao,

spoke by phone with

Geraldo Alckmin

, the vice president-elect.

If the vice recognizes the vice, the fact that the president does not know the president-elect seems unfeasible.


Furthermore:

Gleisi Hoffmann

, the president of the Workers' Party (PT), called

Ciro Nogueira

, head of the Casa Civil (a kind of chief of staff) in the Planalto Palace.

Nogueira told Hoffmann that he is waiting for indications from Bolsonaro about the team of people who will coordinate the transition with Lula's people.

The transition is regulated in Brazil and has a budget of about 600,000 dollars

.


Flavio Bolsonaro opened a slight crack towards his father's thinking with a tweet:

"We are going to raise our heads and we are not going to give up our Brazil. God is in charge!"

.


In Lula's camp, the day was intense.

Fernández, the Argentine president, arrived in Sao Paulo with a large entourage and spent hours with the president-elect.

"We agree that now we are going to talk more about the future than about the past

," Fernández summarized, linking up with Lula helps him improve his image, which is on the rocks in his country.


The fact that Bolsonaro and Lula do not speak to each other is a problem for the transition and in a country in which an unusual rebellion took place in the early hours of Monday: truckers related to Bolsonarism cut several highways, including lanes in the one that connects Sao Paulo with Guarulhos airport.

Alexandre de Moras

, the judge who as president of the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE) carried out the very complex Sunday night, is also a member of the Supreme Federal Tribunal (STF).


De Moraes took the bull by the horns: he ordered the government to immediately adopt "all the necessary and sufficient measures" to

clear the roads occupied by the Bolsonaristas

who are protesting the electoral result.


In case of non-compliance, it determines the fine and even the removal and arrest in flagrante of the general director of the PRF (Federal Highway Police),

Silvinei Vasques

, for the crime of disobedience, in addition to a fine of 100,000 reais per hour (about 19 thousand euros) from midnight on Tuesday 1.
