The Ministry of Defense of Jair Bolsonaro said today in a letter that it does not feel prestigious by the Superior Electoral Court, even with the military being part of the commission that deals with the transparency of voting.
The general tone of the office is one of complaint. And it suggests, in theory, that the system would need to be better tested to be fully reliable.
The issue is technical only in appearances. In the United States, where he is participating in the Summit of the Americas, Bolsonaro continued his political-electoral tactic of contesting the fairness of the elections with electronic voting machines, a tactic in which the Ministry of Defense and, in part, the Armed Forces have long been involved.
The Defense Minister said today that transparent elections are a matter of national sovereignty. There is a conscious mixture of concepts in this statement.
Those who take care of national sovereignty, especially in defense of the territory, are, yes, the Armed Forces, but it is not up to them to take care of elections.
