The phrase "what does not kill you makes you stronger" has come to the fore actively in the face of current Brazilian President Jair Bolsonaro. After he survived an assassination attempt during his 2018 election campaign, the newly retained political power seems to be at hold and even getting stronger at his support base, sparking much turmoil around him as a political and social cyclone.
After almost 2 decades of corrupt administration of Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva (Lula) , Dilma Rousseff and Michelle Temer - control that those presidents accused for serious corruption accusations and a low public trust - Bolsonaro suggested as he came out of the political elite, the people's messenger who will turn out those phenomes.
Like his Republican Party colleague Donald Trump, he's too relies on a nucleus of support from Evangelicals Christians in Brazil. Among things, knowing the Evangelicals support for Jews and Israel in general, he promised during his election campaign that he will move the Brazilian Embassy from Tel Aviv to Jerusalem - a decision that has not been made since je's been elected to the Brazilian presidency.
Summer 2019. Global criticism toward Bolsonaro's policy of encouraging the local farmers deforest areas in the Amazon Basin, that included a feeble response to halt the endless fires in the amazon forests - Which is a green lung for the entire planet - Prompted Emmanuel Macron to criticize Bolsonaro's behavior. Bolsonaro's response was not overdue, claiming that Macron "makes unreasonable attacks on the Amazon region," and hides his intentions behind the "G7" alliance idea, that’s in addition to personal attacks against the French president's wife on Facebook.
The Brazilian president's personality Made a growing resentment during the Corona crisis. A crisis that is currently brewing in Brazil with the most diagnosed patients except the United States - about 330000 as of 23.5. Bolsonaro participates in Mass rallies with opponents of the Corona Closure, with no protective mask and no personal example for the Brazilian public. When asked about the extent of the rising dead in Brazil, he replied "So what?" And provoked a sweeping public outrage. fired 2 Health Ministers who supported the implementation of the closure for health reasons, as all over the world.
Local Brazilian from the Jewish community in Sao Paulo says: "A neighbor 2 Floors above me is in the ER and his wife passed away as a result of being infected by her Nursing nurse, 2 floors below me - the neighbor does not wear a mask because he doesn’t believe there is a Corona. Evangelicals and some of the Jewish community deny that there is a corona at all and don’t take the necessary precautions. Some Jews even compare quarantine policies to the Nazi regime - so much so that Jews cling to the Evangelicals views, even though there is a real risk to life".
If not enough, the popular justice minister Sergio Moro resigned on the grounds that Balsonaro interfered with investigations and demanded secret intelligence information. Bolsonaro was taped to say - "I won't let my relatives be blamed because I can't replace the lawmakers", according to the video the high court of brazil Allowed to publish. In the recording, attributed to a ministerial meeting on April 22, Bolsonaro resented his failure to attempt to replace law enforcement officials in Rio de Janeiro. The video is a key element in an investigation into the president following the accusations of former Justice Minister Sergio Moro, who claimed Balsonaro was trying to replace senior officials in the federal system. Bolsonaro represented Rio State as a federal legislator for 30 years before being elected president. His son, who is a Rio legislator as well, is distinguished on suspicion of corruption.
Bolsonaro's friction with the Brazilian judiciary, the handling of the Amazon's fire Crisis, and the controversial policy regareding the Corona's pandemic, raises many questions about the Bolsonaro's approach to the role, and the Brazilian political system estimates that when the Corona's Crisis is over Bolsonaro will pay heavy political price.
And maybe the answer to those questions is in the 2018 assassination attempt - the desire to prove everyone his political power and opinion - though they do not like it – and to challenge anyone who has tried to take violently his politacal Approach and his life to the world beyond.
