BUTUnlike “old normal” presidents, Jair Bolsonaro does not resolve conflicts, he simply vetoes anything that harms his most immediate base of support. Bolsonaro allows each government and state estate to make their own rules without coordinating with others. It comes only when the conflicts have escalated to such an extent that the situation is out of control, when they no longer have a possible and adequate solution. So he vetoed, for example, the re-establishment of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and buried the pension reform, which did not spare the military and the police. And so on.
Coordination problems manifest themselves in these various aspects, therefore: Bolsonaro first installed a government without suitable personnel, unable to develop and implement a comprehensive agenda, without conditions for ensuring synergy and efficiency between ministries, government and public institutions. In short, a highly dysfunctional government that lives off the parasitism of the day-to-day functioning of the state and its medium and long-term government policies. Not that before Bolsonaro there were no difficulties in agreeing and implementing cross-cutting agendas, on the contrary. But before him, the political system by leaps and bounds found a more or less functional solution to the problem.
