“It would be an incongruity express discontent with what is happening with the military and now participate in an event with which to us we feel sentimentally are united. After the recent events culminated in the publication status that severely penalizes military and disrespectful and not honor those who swore to defend the homeland, it makes sense, “he said in a statement to Lusa agency, the president of the Officers Association of the Armed Forces (AofA), Pereira Cracel.
The official also noted that a few days ago, a delegation from AofA, representative of the three branches of the military, I wanted to return medals received for services rendered in battle to challenge the new Statute of the Military Armed Forces (EMFA), which increases the retirement age from 65 to 66 years, from 2016, and another military call model in reservation for the performance of functions, for example, but was prevented from approaching the Belem Palace.
