Military Seeks to Quiet Criticisms of Mouro by Bolsonaro Followers
Despite Planalto effort, Carlos continues to attack the vice without repercussions from father

SÃO PAULO and BRASÍLIA
Military personnel who work in the Planalto palace are coordinating a strategy to minimize the negative agenda generated against vice president Hamilton Mourão by the family of president Jair Bolsonaro.
Mourão’s own behavior, consisting of constant contradictions against Bolsonaro, contributed to the current mistrust of him by Bolsonaro’s supporters. The president has also refused to condemn his son Carlos, the most vocal in his distrust of Mourão.
Many think that Mourão has erred—not for expressing his opinion—but for capturing the spotlight when he should have stepped back.
Now Carlos Bolsonaro, son of the president and councilman of the PSC-RJ, is welting the vice with criticisms and this is reopening a crisis in the military nucleus of the government.
