By Lucas Rocha, in the magazine Fórum - President Jair Bolsonaro's excesses in the face of the outbreak of the new coronavirus in Brazil irritated the Armed Forces' high command, which seems to have “elected” the Chief Minister of the Civil House, Walter Braga Netto, as the new “Operational president” of the country.
According to the Argentine investigative journalist Horacio Verbitsky, a high official of the Brazilian army communicated an Argentine correlate that President Jair Bolsonaro is not being heard by the authorities when making decisions.
"There was a telephone communication from a high chief of the Brazilian army with one from Argentina, in which the Brazilian informed that they had taken the decision to circumvent President Bolsonaro in all important decisions," said the communicator in the program "Habrá Consecuencias" , from Radio El Destape .
Verbitsky affirms that Bolsonaro acts as a “monarch without effective power” and who now commands the country is General Walter Braga Netto, of the Casa Civil.
