Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro charged with leading alleged 2022 coup attempt against President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva

Brazil's former President Jair Bolsonaro has been charged with leading a far-right conspiracy to cling to power through a military coup. The charges were filed to the Supreme Court by Prosecutor-General Paulo Gonet, alleging that Bolsonaro, along with 33 others, participated in a plan to stay in power. The alleged plot began in 2021, with efforts to undermine public trust in electronic voting machines, and continued in 2022, when Bolsonaro met with ambassadors and diplomatic representatives to discuss accusations of voting fraud. Despite finding no evidence of election fraud, defendants allegedly continued their campaign to discredit the electoral system.

    1. The plan was conceived and taken to the knowledge of the president, and he agreed to it.
    2. I don't think this was a direct retaliation to the charges against Bolsonaro, but rather part of a broader effort to pressure governments into not regulating tech platforms – as well as a form of retaliation against Brazil for the measures taken against X and Musk.

    1. The attempted coup d'etat... has become an empty accusation, which has absolutely no evidence against Bolsonaro.

    1. What coup is this? That they accuse me of? Of being there in Orlando, at Disney, with Mickey, Goofy and Donald Duck, planning a coup here in Brazil?
    2. I'm going to jail, I'm not leaving Brazil. I'm not going to flee Brazil.
    3. The trick of accusing democratic opposition leaders of plotting coups is nothing new.
    4. The playbook is well-known: They fabricate vague accusations, claim to be concerned about democracy or sovereignty, and persecute opponents, silence dissenting voices and concentrate power.

    1. If when judges trial they come to the conclusion that they are guilty, they will have to pay for the crime they committed.

    1. I think it's highly unlikely this process won't end with Jair Bolsonaro in jail.
    2. I can't say exactly how, or exactly when. But it's safe to say that Trumpism will try to push for Jair Bolsonaro's situation to be reversed.
    3. Trump is so completely unpredictable and behaves like a lunatic with such frequency that I just don't know if he'd be capable of offering shelter to someone who has been formally accused of a crime and whose name … should be on Interpol's wanted list.
