Brazil's former president Jair Bolsonaro is confronting fresh legal challenges as federal police conclude that he and his allies attempted to remain in power following his unsuccessful re-election campaign in 2022. According to authorities, this alleged coup attempt aims to bypass democratic processes and sustain Bolsonaro's influence over the nation's governance.
Previously, Bolsonaro was barred from running for office until 2030 after being found guilty of election interference in another case. The current charges could potentially lead to jail time, further complicating Bolsonaro's political future and impacting Brazil's political landscape.
Paulo Cabral provides an in-depth analysis of the situation from Brasilia, highlighting the implications for Brazil's democracy and the broader political repercussions within the country.
