The Prime Minister said he saw the acts of vandalism as “the beginning of a coup d’état” and said that members of the armed forces who wanted to engage in politics should take off their uniforms and resign from office.
“As long as they serve the Bundeswehr, the Attorney General of the Union, the public prosecutor’s office, these people cannot engage in politics. They simply have to fulfill their constitutional function,” he explained.
The interview, held at the Planalto Palace, was the first given by the President to a television network after his election.
