The Minister-Chief of the Institutional Security Cabinet (GSI), General Augusto Heleno, spoke out against criticism of the government by reporter Miriam Leitão (Rede Globo). On social media, this Thursday, the minister said that the journalist is obsessed with speaking badly of President Jair Bolsonaro and the military.
“I will not respond to Miriam Leitão’s unfounded accusations. Today, she is obsessed with speaking ill of the Bolsonaro government and venting her hatred of the military. I am addressing the good Brazilians,” he said.
“At ABIN, there are no spies, snitches or secret agents. There are intelligence professionals who have passed public exams, are prepared and capable, as they are supposed to, of monitoring events that are of interest to our country, as all intelligence agencies in the world do. We do not monitor people, patrol institutions or keep an eye on anyone. It’s that simple,” he said.
