I think it's possible, they were already snubbing him over Mandetta.

quote:

“A nova ‘missão informal’ foi produto de um “acordo por cima”, envolvendo ministros e comandantes militares e o próprio presidente da República”, diz trecho de reportagem.

“Sua ‘missão’ busca reduzir a exposição do presidente, deixando-o ‘democraticamente’ (Apud Paulo Guedes) se comportar como se não pertencesse ao seu próprio governo.

that's democracy in south america for ya, one day everything's fine and then boom! the military just took over

but not really, according to the report he was part of the deal, maybe he thinks he can stay there riling up his base while not having to do any actual work anymore

Milico site DefesaNet also apparently was the one who reported on Braga Neto (who btw is the Chief of Staff and former Commander in Chief of the army for those who don't know) being the one in charge. Apparently him and an informal junta are the ones calling the shots on the executive while Bolso is kept on as a puppet to call a "national day of fasting" and be an rear end in a top hat to the governors and the press.

e: Something that would make it plausible is when you compare Bolso and Braga Neto's weekly schedules and see that the former is just meeting with Olavista ministers while the second one is doing stuff like hosting task forces for Covid and talking to the press...

tbqf at certain levels the brazilian military has a very unfortunate circumstance of having actual degrees of baseline competence required to do stuff

like, Braga Neto was a military attaché to Poland and the USA, so he had to pass muster with the Itamaraty for a bunch of years, which is a big loving deal since it is easily one of the most prestigious civil institutions in Brazil and gives a lot of actual cred in terms of public service, throw in a major crisis with this idiot of a president and you have the perfect storm for a grey eminence role

-Bolsonaro wins. After a short honeymoon with the media and the elite, glad that the country was saved from Venezuela's face, it becomes clear that he has no clue of what he is doing and his apointees are either jokes or immensely corrupt ideologues. He has no option but to tone up his rethotic as he fails to fix the crisis, leading to violent repression of protests, likely extended interventions in more states, all that good stuff. He will either renounce when evangeloicals dump him for a leadership of their own, or might actually be deposed by an actual military coup when the armed forces get tired of picking up his poo poo.

to be fair it's something rather easy to deny and opens the press up to another "the press is lying" dunk. they will probably wait until it's obvious enough.

He's got like 30% popularity right now, unless he miraculously bounces back or they don't get to push Moro or Doria hard enough I find it really hard for him to even get to the second round of elections.

~30% popularity is what got him elected in 2018, almost a full third of voters in the run-up were blanks, nulls or absent. The only way he doesn't get re-elected is if Moro breaks up with him.
