Brazil reacts to Bolsonaro's house arrest. Although his allies threaten "war," a seemingly normal atmosphere persists on the streets.
In recent weeks, the far-right leader who governed Brazil between 2018 and 2022 has shown little interest in complying with the measures imposed by Judge Alexandre de Moraes, who is leading an investigation against him for attempting a coup d'état against President Lula... Bolsonaro continued his agitation campaign, and this image taken last Sunday in Sao Paulo seems to have been the straw that broke the camel's back. A video call made by a deputy from his party... the former president, whose use of social media is restricted...
The United States has become a key player in this case… Donald Trump has cited Bolsonaro's impeachment as one of the arguments for imposing high tariffs on Brazilian products, and one of the former president's sons, Eduardo, has settled in Washington, where he is lobbying intensively to push for sanctions against Brazil. This detail doesn't go unnoticed on the street…
Alexandre de Moraes was absolutely right, and Eduardo needs to come back here so they can do the same to him.
Support for Bolsonaro is conspicuous by its absence here, at least among those who agree to give us an interview.
Meanwhile, the leader of the Bolsonarist deputies announces an internal war in Brazil.
The green chickens will fly away and chicken out again. Reactionaries are mostly cowards.
