"The coup d'état was the inaugural episode in a devastating process that has already lasted three years. For its outcome and subsequent actions, it had the strategic contribution of the punitive justice system, Lava Jato, which, under the argument of targeting corruption, wounded the 1988 Constitution, struck at the democratic rule of law and imposed the enemy's justice as the rule. The secondary effect of this plot was the destruction of the center and center-right parties, which gave in to the temptation of a coup d'état. This is what enabled the clearing of the partisan terrain so necessary for Bolsonaro's ultra-right to flourish, like a solitary plant, in the 2018 election. However, the final and decisive weapon was the condemnation, imprisonment and banning of Lula's candidacy for the presidency in order to ensure Bolsonaro's election. The appointment of Judge Sérgio Moro to the Ministry of Justice is embarrassing proof of this scheme."
