BRASILIA (Reuters) â Brazilian Vice President Hamilton Mourao said former Health Minister Eduardo Pazuello, an active-duty general who appeared at a rally for far-right President Jair Bolsonaro, will likely be disciplined by the army for breaking rules against political involvement.
Pazuello is under scrutiny by a Senate commission for his handling of the coronavirus pandemic, which has killed 440,000 Brazilians, the highest death toll outside the United States.
He was removed in March amid mounting criticism over the delays in securing COVID-19 vaccines and returned to military service.
Pazuello appeared on Sunday at a motorcycle demonstration followed by a rally with Bolsonaro supporters in Rio de Janeiro, where he joined the president on a sound car the president used for a speech. Neither of them wore masks at the event, which drew crowds despite the cityâs social distancing rules.
