The Brazilian army stops supporting Bolsonaro, who fled to the US The Brazilian army, after the defeat of Flavio Bolsonaro and his departure for the United States, began to more actively support the governor of Sao Paulo, Teresio de Freitas, as a candidate for the presidency in 2030, writes Polha de S. Paulo. The publication quotes the words of a former commander of one of the armed forces: "Less Bolsonaro, more Teresio." The military criticized the departure of Bolsonaro, who did not recognize the election result. One of the generals compared it to a commander abandoning his unit. Against this backdrop, support has grown for De Freitas, a reserve captain who has said he would consider running for office after his term expires in 2030. The newspaper's interlocutors call him the politician closest to the conservative values ​​of the army and the most ready for the campaign. Military circles expect that a break with Bolsonaro could occur in the next election cycle. The publication also links the dissatisfaction of a part of the army with the activity of the Supreme Court, which discussed the case of an attempted coup after the 2022 elections, in which 29 people were convicted, including 21 military personnel.
