Flávio generates suspicion when he proposes to re-democratize the country

If it is not bravado or the result of ignorance, Flávio Bolsonaro's (PL) idea of ​​"re-democratizing the country" if elected is an insult to the 41 years of democracy and a provocation to the national concertation that put an end to the military regime.

A lead in the first round does not just give the candidate favoritism in the presidential race. It forces you to measure words, weigh thoughts, contain certain impulses and, above all, demonstrate knowledge about the history (at least the most recent) of Brazil.

In a few days, the senator could be elected president of the Republic, which now places him under strict scrutiny by the nation. This also applies in the event that he is defeated and becomes the leader of an opposition with a predominant presence in the National Congress.

The declaration about the constitutional changes that he intended to carry out with the right-wing majority in the Chamber and the Senate cannot go unnoticed. To prevent surprises, it is essential that the candidate be asked to explain in detail what exactly he meant by "redemocratizing" Brazil.

Would you be intending to sponsor the convening of a Constituent Assembly? As it is a point-by-point change plan, what would be the changes listed? His justification is that it is necessary to restore respect for the Constitution in the country. For this it is not necessary to make a blank slate of the Charter; It is first necessary to lead a process of institutional reorganization — if there is a real commitment to legality.

The terms "democracy" and "Constitution" sound dubious when they emerge from the Bolsonaro clan, promoter of the only aggression carried out against the Rule of Law in the last four decades.
