Several thousand supporters of former Brazilian President Jair Bolsono packed Kopakbana Beach in Rio on Sunday to show their support for the right -wing firebrand, which is accused of trying to overthrow his leftist successor.
69-year-old Bolsoro has called a million-fierce performance on the famous beach in the performance of strength before the next year in which he expects to be a contender.
The 2019-2022 President of Brazil is expecting to follow the political return of US President Donald Trump.
“I am here because I want to leave a better Brazil for my children,” a 64 -year -old former military officer Jose de Suja Vitorino, who was among the protesters, told AFP.
On stage, where Bolsonaro was due to making a speech, a banner showed Trump with his fist, which raised his fist after his life attempt at the campaign mark in Pennsylvania last year.
The declared objective of the rally is to demand amnesty for hundreds of convicts in the riots of 8 January 2023 in the capital Brasilia, when Bolsonro Backers brought a storm in the President’s Mahal, Congress and Supreme Court.
The protesters demanded that Military Out Left President Luiz Inecio Lula Dr. Silva, who defeated arch-rival Bolsoro in the October 2022 elections and sworn in a week ago.
The violent rampage developed a storm of American Capital Building in Washington by Trump’s supporters about two years ago.
Prosecutors believe that Writers were part of a criminal conspiracy by the then President Bolsoro, who lived to overthrow Lula and return to power.
On 25 March, the Supreme Court of Brazil will consider whether there is enough evidence to try Bolsoro, which risk more than 40 years of prison period.
‘send a message’
With the aim of excluding the second term in the 2026 presidential elections, “Trump of the Tropics,” Bolsosero – claims his political collection, which is like its political muse.
He has been disqualified to hold a public office by 2030 for unbalanced claims of fraud in Brazil’s electronic voting system, but is expected to reversed the ban to return like Trump.
Independent political analyst Andre Roja told AFP that the real purpose of calling for protests on Sunday was so Bolsono “can send a message to your rivals … and confirm your intention of becoming a candidate in 2026.”
“For now, I am a candidate,” Bolsoro told reporters in Brasilia this week.
Lula’s camp also has consistency concerns, the 79 -year -old President’s health and consumer inflation has dragged his popularity.
