Pastor states that the commanders of the Army, Navy and Air Force should leave their positions “if they honor the uniform they wear”
Pastor Silas Malafaia, organizer of the act in favor of the former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL) this Sunday (April 21, 2024) in Rio, said that the 3 commanders of the Armed Forces should resign “they honor the uniform they wear”.
For Malafaia, General Tomás de Paiva (Army), Admiral Marcos Olsen (Navy) and Lieutenant Brigadier Marcelo Kanitz Damasceno (Aeronautics) should leave their positions for failing to act in the face of what he calls “persecution” of the STF (Supreme Federal Court) against military personnel.
“If these military commanders honor the uniform they wear, resign their positions. And let no other 4-star general take over until there is a thorough Senate investigation.”said the pastor.
Malafaia defended the Bolsonaro's former aide-de-camp, Lieutenant Colonel Mauro Cid, arrested in May 2023 in the investigation into false data on Bolsonaro's covid-19 vaccination cards and accused of running an alleged slush fund scheme in Planalto. Cid is also one of the main pivots of other investigations surrounding the former president.
“Colonel Cid, one of the most brilliant soldiers. His boss gave him full marks for promotion. The career of this brilliant officer being detonated by this dictator”, said Malafaia in reference to STF minister Alexandre de Moraes.
The pastor stated that some military “they are being treated as criminals by the Federal Police”, and asked senators to open impeachment proceedings against Moraes.
