Bolsonaro: Brazil’s ex-president presented coup plot to top military leaders, court documents allege
CNNMAR 2024
Accountability for the failed coup is a matter of justice and is crucial for the future of the country's democracy. Given that military personnel and close aides to Bolsonaro were involved in this shocking assassination plot, something must also be done about the significant political influence of the country's military.
This is all part of Lula, a corrupt career politician, colluding with Brazil's heavily politicized top court to punish Bolsonaro and his allies. Right-leaning figures across the nation have been censored, and the legal system is increasingly being used as a weapon against those who dare to side with the opposition.
There's a 44.1% chance that Lula will be reelected as Brazil's president in October 2026, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
