After Meetings With The Current President-Elect And The Future Minister Of Defense, José Múcio, The Military Decided To Bring Forward Their Departure From Their Positions
After an agreement made with representatives of the new government, that of Lula, the three commanders of the Armed Forces no longer wanted to bring forward their departures from their positions and decided to wait for the inauguration of the elected president, Luis Inácio Lula da Silva. The government transition is scheduled for 10 AM on January 2, at the Brasília Air Base, when the appointees of the new government will assume their roles, according to CNN.
The rumor was that the commanders of the Armed Forces of the current government would leave their positions before the inauguration of the elected president, still this month of December, in a sign of opposition to the elected government. However, on Friday, the 16th, the commander of the Aeronautics, Brigadier Carlos de Almeida Baptista Júnior, stated that he will hand over command in January, as planned.
Freire Gomes, and from the Navy, Almir Garnier Santos, the other commanders of the Armed Forces of the Army, had already signaled that they would no longer bring forward their departures from their positions.

GOVERNMENT COMMANDERS CALL ON CURRENT PRESIDENT
Change of Plans
This agreement was only possible thanks to active negotiations by the newly elected president. The new Minister of Defense, José Múcio, and Lula met with military personnel from the Armed Forces on Friday in a meeting to establish the beginning of the new government with the military forces.
Last week, the crisis thermometer lessened with the announcement of Múcio’s name and also with the decision that the new government would not break the tradition of appointing the most senior officers to lead the Armed Forces.
