Milei is Brazil's 'scoundrel brother-in-law,' says critical report

Argentine President Javier Milei's appearance at a Brazilian political convention to support Flávio Bolsonaro, son of former President Jair Bolsonaro, has drawn sharp criticism. The article portrays Milei as a figure indebted to the U.S. government, suggesting his visit was a service to his creditors.

Milei's endorsement of Bolsonaro, who is running for president, occurred at a convention of the Liberal Party (PL). The author notes the absence of major Brazilian right-wing parties at the event, highlighting that Bolsonaro's brother, Carluxo, was visiting Eduardo Bolsonaro in the United States. Michelle Bolsonaro sent a video praising Flávio, which the article describes as less natural than an AI-generated message from Jair Bolsonaro.

The piece frames Milei's visit as an offense to Brazilian democracy. It alleges that Milei signed a document supporting a coup, similar to one presented by Flávio Bolsonaro, and continued to support Jair Bolsonaro even after the January 8th events. The article also questions potential financial links between the Banco Master and Argentine right-wing figures through international connections.

The author suggests Milei's actions are aimed at helping Marco Rubio, whom the article identifies as the U.S. Secretary of State and Milei's superior in the international far-right movement, secure a presidency with a submissive Latin America. The article argues that while right-wing electoral victories in South America might seem normal, U.S. intervention to favor specific candidates creates a problem for democracy, shifting voter focus from quality of life to geopolitical compliance.

O objetivo de Milei é ajudar Marco Rubio, secretário de Estado norte-americano e superior hierárquico do presidente argentino na internacional de extrema direita, a concorrer à Presidência tendo no currículo uma América Latina submissa aos Estados Unidos.
