Eduardo Leitea legitimate neoliberal, acts like all self-styled managers, defenders of neoliberalism, of “free citizens from the heavy hand of the state“. As soon as they find themselves in trouble they run to ask for help from the state, from the federal public authorities, and not from the companies and financiers, who are largely responsible for their problems.
And that’s what Eduardo Leite did.
One day:
— Take the state off my shoulders!In the other:
— Please help, Mr. State, we need R$19 billion!
The flood is not over yet, unfortunately. There are still predictions of new areas that will be reached by the natural path of rivers towards the sea, but the cosplay of Zelenskythe governor of Rio Grande do Sul Eduardo Leite was quick to calculate how much he will need to rebuild the state.
No sooner had the federal government and Congress approved the release of funds to combat floods on Tuesday than Leite gathered the team on Wednesday and this morning took two decisions on X, formerly Twitter:
- renewed his profile photo, now with the Civil Defense vest (the one from which he lowered funds year after year from R$ 1 million to R$ 100 thousand and, finally, R$ 50 thousand in the last year),
- announced that it needs R$19 billion for Rio Grande do Sul.
It is not known how the calculation was made, as there is no access to some areas of the state and the report of the damage in the 497 municipalities has certainly not yet reached Piratini Palace.
But what is certain is that a mea culpa to the Gauchos has not been made and will not be made. Eduardo Leite says that the Zelensky cosplay he does can project his image as that of a director who is taking the lead and will rebuild the Rio Grande do Sul. Exactly how the comedian-turned-president of Ukraine entertains audiences while sending his soldiers into a suicidal war against Russia.
The idea is that people forget or are not aware that:
“[O governador Eduardo] Leite changed around 480 rules of the RS Environmental Code in his first year in office, in 2019. The measure, sanctioned in 2020, followed the loosening of Brazilian environmental policy encouraged, at the time, by the then minister Ricardo Sallesfrom the Ministry of Environment (MMA), in the government Bolsonaro” [Valor].
The herd passed and now with the state destroyed, the hat passes.
The R$ 19 billion is already on the table, despite the warning that new storms are expected to hit the already punished regions from Friday (10), with an intense volume of rain between 200 mm and 300 mm.
Soon, the “manager” will gather his group to review the calculations upwards.
The day after tomorrow, Zelensky’s cosplay takes off his vest and returns to being the clean and smelling third copy of the corporate media and the financial market, which will show how he recovered the state and never say that he was largely responsible for its destruction .
