The Secretary of State believes that what happened in the Latin American country follows an “almost identical” pattern to the attack on the US Capitol and warns of the risk of far-right movements with a “Trumpist trail” .
The four-hour chaos and uncertainty following the attack by hundreds of Bolsonaro’s followers on Brazil’s three state powers in protest against Lula da Silva’s return to power has sparked a cascade of reactions among key leaders of the Spanish government. politics. Although even the condemnation of the attack on the buildings of the Three Powers of the Brazilian State by the followers of the far-right ex-president has not prevented the row between the government and the main opposition party.
Last night, the secretary general of the PP, Cuca Gamarra, alluded to what has happened in the Latin American country and recalled the suppression that the government has carried out of the crime of sedition in the Penal Code in our country – and assured that if the same thing happens in Spain it would only be a crime of public disorder. Something to which the Minister of Foreign Affairs, José Manuel Albares, responded this morning, calling the reaction of the people ‘a pity’. “I have been very concerned that the main opposition party has nothing to say about democracy in Brazil during its first public demonstration. That he has nothing to say about the ultra-right and ultra-right movements. As a Spanish citizen, I am sorry that they are trying to question the legitimacy of the President of the Government.
Albares believes the attack on Brazil’s Congressional, Presidency and Supreme Court headquarters this Sunday follows a “virtually identical” pattern to the attack on the Capitol and warns of the risk of far-right movements with “Trumpist traces” spreading about the world: “Not wanting to recognize clear and democratic results after a vote and which have been endorsed by the appropriate authority”.
The president of the government, Pedro Sánchez, spoke along similar lines, expressing his support for Brazil’s democratic institutions this morning, warning that “the greatest threat to democracy is the resurgence of ultra-movements ready to overwhelm everyone”. “The methods are repeated in all countries suffering from these movements.”
In turn, the leader of the People’s Party, Alberto Núñez Feijóo, yesterday expressed his party’s support for the Brazilian people, calling for “immediate restoration of constitutional order” without giving in to “populism”. “You cannot give in to populism and radicalism, which seek to undermine respect for institutions, democracy and public freedoms,” the “popular” leader wrote in a post on Twitter. A message made by the Galician leader shortly after the controversy sparked by the PP’s spokeswoman.
