MANAUS – A video circulating by the groups of organizers of extreme right-wing demonstrations in Amazonas shows the donation of a supermarket chain for the acts considered antidemocratic, which have been happening for ten days in front of the Amazon Military Command (CMA), in the West Zone of Manaus. “Donation that we won, now, from Baratão da Carne, for the demonstration”, says a member of the act.

In the video, an unidentified woman talks about the donation received, allegedly, by the supermarket chain Baratão da Carne, in Manaus: “We are at this moment, picking up, here, to take to the demonstration […], 12 boxes of chicken, ten bales of soda, bale of flour, bale of coffee, ten packs of sausage […], practically, R$ 5 thousand in donation”, says the woman.

The supermarket chain Baratão da Carne did not answer AMAZON AGENCY‘s report to comment on the case.

Financing crime

Employees of the network are shown helping to unload the carts and putting the food into the back of a pickup truck. Financing anti-democratic acts is a crime and can lead to the arrest of the identified donors. According to Article 286 of the Penal Code, anyone who “publicly incites animosity between the armed forces, or between the armed forces and the constitutional powers, civil institutions, or society” can be imprisoned for three to six months, or fined.

On Monday, 7, the minister Alexandre de Moraes ordered the Armed Forces to send all the information about the blockades of highways and the acts in front of the Armed Forces barracks, like the one that has been happening in Manaus, and classified the requests for intervention and for a coup as “criminal”.

In the afternoon of Friday, 11, Moraes made a new order which extends to the entire national territory the order to unblock roads that are blocked by demonstrations against the election results. The STF minister ordered the police to take measures for the “immediate unblocking of all roads and public places that, illicitly, have their traffic or access interrupted”.
