I don& #39;t know how reliable this is, but there are unconfirmed rumors going around in Latin American media that the Brazilian armed forces may have silently assumed power behind the scenes, sidelining Bolsonaro and appointing General Netto as “operational president.” Sources below.

The information comes from the respected Argentine investigative journalist Horacio Verbitsky ( @VerbitskyH) who claims that sources in the Argentine army have been told of these moves by their counterparts in Brazil. The claim is not officially confirmed. https://www.eldestapeweb.com/nota/horacio-verbitsky-revelo-que-un-alto-militar-se-hizo-cargo-del-gobierno-de-brasil-2020438560">https://www.eldestapeweb.com/nota/hora...

This is the only English-language version of the story I& #39;ve been able to find so far. Again, I have no idea how credible this information is. But if true, it would obviously be big. http://www.brasilwire.com/does-brazil-already-have-a-new-acting-president/">https://www.brasilwire.com/does-braz...

La Repubblica reports on the rumor of a military coup, but doesn& #39;t seem to reach a clear answer—we& #39;re still firmly in the realm of (social) media speculation: https://www.repubblica.it/esteri/2020/04/04/news/brasile_colpo_stato_jair_bolsonaro_destituito_militari-253073632/">https://www.repubblica.it/esteri/20...
