Controversy of Bolsonaro again in Brazil

Thousands of Brazilians took to the streets of Sao Paulo in support of former right-wing president Jair Bolsonaro, who has been ruled ineligible to run for any office.

According to the AFP report, Bolsonaro told his supporters: We cannot accept that any force can remove someone from the political scene, unless they have a valid reason. We cannot imagine elections with the elimination of the opposition.

The former president of Brazil announced that he is ineligible to run for office until 2030 due to the accusation of spreading misleading information. On Sunday, Bolsonaro asked his supporters to participate widely in the demonstration in support of him in Sao Paulo.

Bolsonaro, who did not accept the result after the last election and tried for a coup; In his speech, he said: What is a coup? Tanks in the streets, weapons, conspiracies. None of this happened in Brazil. I seek peace, erase the past and find a way to live in peace.

Bolsonaro, 68, is a former army officer. He called on his supporters to organize a peaceful demonstration that is claimed to defend the democratic rule of law in Sao Paulo, the economic capital.

The former president maintains his innocence and refused to answer questions during a half-hour investigation Thursday at a federal police station in Brasilia. In a statement to the CBN Recife radio station, Bolsonaro said: “No one in Brazil attempted a coup.” This is the great truth.

Bolsonaro, who was in America at the time, denied any responsibility. However, police also released a recording of a meeting held in July 2022 in which Bolsonaro appears to shout, insult and order his cabinet ministers to help him undermine the credibility of the electoral system.
