O SISTEMA DE PODER QUE NINGUÉM QUER ADMITIR QUE EXISTE NO BRASIL

Summary

Fernando Schuler, professor and columnist, analyzes what he calls a 'system of power' in Brazil where the law is applied selectively depending on who the target is. He gives multiple concrete examples: a minister's homophobic speech archived while a tourist is heavily punished; a deputy prosecuted for a meme but not for being called a nazi; the fake news inquiry; and the AGU ordering a journalist to delete a tweet. Schuler argues this selective application of law undermines republican democracy and is not a conspiracy but a structural anomaly.

• Schuler describes a system where the law is applied subjectively based on the person's status.
• Example: A minister made homophobic speech and the case was archived; a tourist was harshly punished for racist speech.
• Example: A deputy was prosecuted for a meme associating someone with Nazism, but another was not prosecuted for calling him a nazi.
• The fake news inquiry is used to punish criticism of authorities, conflating personal criticism with attacking democracy.
• The AGU's Procuradoria de Defesa da Democracia ordered a journalist to delete a tweet criticizing a bill.
• Schuler argues that this creates a system of exceptionality where power is exercised through interpretation rather than isonomic rules.
• The speaker does not offer any investment or financial thesis; the analysis is purely political and legal.
• No tradeable assets, indices, or securities are mentioned.
