‘Friendly fire’: Defense minister reacts to rumors about his resignation planted by Janones

The deputy posted on Twitter that José Múcio would deliver a letter of resignation in the next few hours, subsequently denying the information

BRASILIA – The deputy Andre Janones used its social networks to announce, in an alarmist tone, that in the next few hours the Minister of Defence, Jose Mucio, would have handed over a letter of resignation. Múcio denied the information. “Friendly fire,” replied the Stage, the minister. A few minutes later, Janones himself posted another message stating that Múcio had denied the information.

Appointed by the president Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva With a mission to extend the new government’s relationship with the Armed Forces, José Mucio negotiated with the commanders of the three Forces the inauguration date, undoing a plan by former Bolsonaro government commanders to refuse to hand over the post to their successors.

URGENT! Defense Minister José Múcio must deliver his letter of resignation in the next few hours!

UPDATE: I have received information about the minister’s resignation from a source which, so far, has been proven to be safe and reliable. However, Minister José Múcio denies that he will resign.

The minister’s performance was criticized by PT supporters in the episode of the coup camps in front of the army barracks. While Múcio defended that there were only people demonstrating, the Minister of Justice, Flavio Dino, said they were committing a crime there. After the occupation and looting of public buildings in Brasilia on Sunday 8, Múcio began to defend the dismantling of the camps.

THE Stage noted that the defense minister has acted with caution towards the military. He has received news that the troops are pacified, but not entirely convinced of the result of the elections that brought Lula to the presidency. José Múcio’s speech seeks to prevent officers from joining extremist movements.

In Defense, the assessment is that Janones is used by the PT who wants to take over Pasta. The deputy approached Lula in the elections and ended up rejected by the new government. Janones says he doesn’t want a seat on the Executive, but he went so far as to declare that he wants Lula’s support to assume the presidency of the Constitution and Justice Commission, the most important in the Chamber. However, the members of the PT have already warned that the deputy’s request will not be accepted.
