They were there, they said, to save Brazil\u2019s democracy from a rigged election, and there was only one way to do so: The armed forces needed to take control of the government.<\/p>\n<p>It was an alarming demand in a country that suffered under a two-decade military dictatorship until 1985 \u2014 and yet another bizarre twist in the aftermath of Brazil\u2019s polarizing elections.<\/p>\n<p>A day earlier, the far-right president, Jair Bolsonaro, reluctantly agreed to a transfer of power after 45 hours of silence following his loss to a leftist former leader, Luiz In\u00e1cio Lula da Silva. But after Mr. Bolsonaro\u2019s years of unfounded attacks on Brazil\u2019s election systems, his supporters appeared far from accepting defeat.<\/p>\n<p>\u2026<\/p>\n<p>The widespread protests and calls for the armed forces were an escalation of the Brazilian far-right\u2019s refusal to accept the election of Mr. da Silva, a former president whom many on the right view as a criminal because of his past corruption scandal.<\/p>\n<p>Mr. Bolsonaro, in a two-minute speech on Tuesday in which he did not acknowledge his loss, said he supported peaceful protests inspired by \u201cfeelings of injustice in the electoral process.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Many of his followers saw that as a stamp of approval. \u201cWhat he said yesterday, that gave me more energy to come,\u201d said Larissa Oliveira da Silva, 22, who was sitting on a beach chair in the protest in S\u00e3o Paulo, propping up her broken foot. \u201cAfter his comments, I saw that he is on our side.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>___<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"wp-embedded-content\" data-secret=\"rFTdYgGC3G\"><p><a href=\"https:\/\/revolver.news\/2022\/11\/breaking-report-matthew-tyrmand-the-brazilian-military-stands-with-bolsonaro-and-is-prepared-to-invoke-article-142\/\">Report: The Brazilian military stands with Bolsonaro&#8230; is prepared to invoke Article 142&#8230;<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" class=\"wp-embedded-content\" sandbox=\"allow-scripts\" security=\"restricted\" style=\"position: absolute; clip: rect(1px, 1px, 1px, 1px);\" title=\"&#8220;Report: The Brazilian military stands with Bolsonaro&#8230; is prepared to invoke Article 142&#8230;&#8221; &#8212; Revolver News\" src=\"https:\/\/revolver.news\/2022\/11\/breaking-report-matthew-tyrmand-the-brazilian-military-stands-with-bolsonaro-and-is-prepared-to-invoke-article-142\/embed\/#?secret=9ua2Sm02Zd#?secret=rFTdYgGC3G\" data-secret=\"rFTdYgGC3G\" width=\"600\" height=\"338\" frameborder=\"0\" marginwidth=\"0\" marginheight=\"0\" scrolling=\"no\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Breaking Report: The Brazilian military stands with Bolsonaro\u2026 is prepared to invoke Article 142\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-147311","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147311","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=147311"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/147311\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=147311"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=147311"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/stateofthenation.co\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=147311"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
