The new exchanges of messages revealed between Flávio Bolsonaro (PL) and the bankerText: Daniel VorcaroThis is another piece of evidence that adds to the many others of the relationship between the owner of Banco Master and the Bolsonaro family, and that the connection went far beyond the alleged financing of the biopic of former President Jair Bolsonaro, “Dark Horse“.
For political scientist Priscila Lapa, the repeated attempts by Flávio to distance himself from a relationship evidenced by the release of messages stand out. In this regard, she highlights the fact that, beyond being a candidate, theSenatorTo be in the current legislative period. "We expect an unblemished conduct from someone who exercises, who wants to be a candidate, who wants to be the president of the Republic, who needs to have a minimum of transparency, a minimum of capacity. It is really necessary to go through a sieve of truth among the population. But above all, he is a senator and answers to an ethics code," he states in an interview withConnection BdFText: "From the"Brazil's Radio Fato.
Lapa argues that behind the scenes of power, it is very common for those with political positions to be approached by various individuals from different sectors, receiving offers in exchange for some benefit. The question is what the public official does about it. "There are those who listen and take the attitude of not pursuing any type of relationship in response to these proposals they receive, and those who nurture relationships and that, in the end, will reverberate in something concrete, in an amendment, in money, in the fulfillment of a favor, or in the appointment to a position. And what seems to be the relationship between Senator Flávio Bolsonaro and Daniel Vorcaro. It was not a one-off relationship," he argues.
The political scientist notes that Flávio Bolsonaro has been unable to respond to a series of information placing his name at the center of the scandal. Priscila Lapa considers it quite surprising that the candidate still remains competitive in the presidential race, despite so many elements proving it is not sustainable.
"In any other context, it wouldn't hold up; at a minimum, there would be wear and tear, or a meltdown, or dehydration as people found out he was saying one thing and the next day an investigation came out saying it wasn't true, and he kept providing different versions, and he started creating contradiction upon contradiction," he states.
According to her, Bolsonarism brought to the electorate the “Cognitive dissonance"It makes people believe in what they are already inclined to defend. There's a difficulty in presenting facts. It shows a resilience that seems almost blind; it seems like we're not getting everything clarified," he considers.
Regarding the corruption network led by Vorcaro, Lapa analyzes that it creates a sense of relativization of behaviors. "People minimize the weight of actors individually. It's that story, as everyone is contaminated, it's not specifically Fluany who is to blame, it's the entire system that is contaminated. Therefore, I minimize an individual slip-up, something that seems to be specific to a certain candidate."
