In Brazil, the ruling party is promoting a project to limit the power of the Armed Forces.

The initiative seeks to reduce the exceptional situations in which the military may intervene.

The government of President Lula da Silva distrusts them, because many are allies of his predecessor, Jair Bolsonaro.

This follows the coup attempt perpetrated by thousands of the former president's supporters in January.

At that time, the inaction of the military leadership in the face of the seizure of power buildings aroused alarm in the Executive led by the leftist Lula.
