BRASÍlia – Planaldo Palace no longer meets for the President’s meeting Jair Bolsonaro With ambassadors last month to strategic countries from the G20 and the UN Security Council. At a meeting in July, Bolsonaro again used a slideshow of the unconfirmed thesis that electronic voting machines had been rigged in 2014 and 2018. Estado basically Access to Information ActConfirming the lack of criteria: Seven of the 19 countries of the G20, the group of the world’s major economies, were not invited.
Two of the five permanent members of the United Nations (UN) Security Council quit. Of the five permanent members of the UN Security Council, China and the United Kingdom were not invited – France, the United States and Russia attended. As shown EstadoEven some important foreign representatives were not invited.
At the time, diplomatic sources generally said that the criteria for selecting invited countries was “common sense”. However, related countries with close ties to Brazil were not invited. UN Of the five permanent members of the Security Council, China and the UK were not invited. At the time, Bolsonaro’s presentation was not considered credible by the diplomats present. The United States delegation, for example, issued a note calling the Brazilian elections a “model” for other countries.
In total, representatives from 72 countries participated in the event. Of the G20, a group of the world’s 19 largest economies and the European Union, seven did not attend: Argentina, Australia, China, South Korea, Japan, Mexico and the United Kingdom. In total, there are 55 ambassadors and 14 chargé d’affaires (diplomat in charge of an embassy in the absence of an ambassador).
According to historian Philip Figueiredo, the list is “difficult to understand” in its criteria. “Sometimes, the list follows an ideological divide. There are three exceptions from our neighbors in South America, for example, Bolivia, Argentina and Chile. These countries are very prominent in President Bolsonaro’s political discourse (because they have left-wing rulers). Especially Chile, recently President ( Gabriel) Boric was elected. However, at the same time, Venezuela and Peru were invited, perhaps the two most left-wing countries on the continent,” says Figueiredo, a columnist on international politics and creator of the Chatres Verbal podcast.
“Nor can it be said that the main powers were benchmarks. Looking at the G7, a group of countries with the oldest industrialization, two of them are missing: Japan and the United Kingdom”, observes Figueiredo. “So, it is a complicated list to analyze because it does not follow any objective criteria. It does not collect all the powers, only a few; Not all major economies or all neighboring countries. Not all BRICS countries. On the other hand, there is a large presence of countries that are not exactly heavyweights on the international scene,” he says.
List of gifts received Estado Through the Access to Information Act. Apart from ambassadors, ministers also attended. Ciro Nogueira (Civil House); Paulo Sergio Nogueira de Oliveira (security); Carlos France (Foreign Relations); Wagner Rosario (UGC); Luis Eduardo Ramos (Government Secretariat); Celio Faria (Government Secretariat); Augusto Heleno (Office of Enterprise Security) and Bruno Bianco (Advocate General of the Union).
On that occasion, Bolsonaro indicated that the meeting with the diplomats was an “answer” to the minister, the head of the TSE. Edson Fauchin. A few days ago, the Electoral Court held a meeting with representatives of embassies to demonstrate how Brazilian electronic voting machines work. “To make one thing very clear, Fauchin did not … take into account. The president is the one who deals with foreign policy according to the constitution,” he said.
