Jman Posted January 8, 2023 Share Posted January 8, 2023 It’s worth noting that none of the government officials are actually there. This is an extended tantrum but it’s not actually threatening lawmakers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That was my thought too. Invading a governmental building in South America and you might vanish compliments of any number of groups for their own optics. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raptorpat Posted Wednesday at 01:42 AM Share Posted Wednesday at 01:42 AM Quote Brazil’s former president Jair Bolsonaro has been charged with allegedly helping to mastermind a far-right conspiracy to cling to power through a military coup. The South American country’s attorney general, Paulo Gonet, levelled the charges against the radical rightwing populist and several key allies on Tuesday night. Bolsonaro, who experts say could face up between 38 and 43 years in jail if convicted, stands accused of crimes including being involved in an attempted coup d’état and an armed criminal association and the violent abolition of the rule of law. He has repeatedly denied breaking any laws and on Tuesday told reporters he was “not at all worried about these accusations”. The charges come three months after a bombshell 884-page federal police report accused Bolsonaro, who governed Brazil from 2019 until 2022, of playing a lead role in planning and organising a conspiracy designed to stop the leftwing victor of Brazil’s 2022 presidential election, Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva, taking power. The attorney general’s office accused another 33 people of being part of the alleged plot including Bolsonaro’s former spy chief, the far-right congressman Alexandre Ramagem; his former defense ministers Gen Walter Braga Netto and Gen Paulo Sérgio Nogueira de Oliveira; his former minister of justice and public security, Anderson Torres; his former minister of institutional security Gen Augusto Heleno, and the former navy commander Adm Almir Garnier Santos. Netto has denied involvement in a coup plot. The other men are yet to publicly comment on the allegations. Perhaps most shockingly, the attorney general’s 272-page report claimed Bolsonaro had been aware of an alleged plot - which it said had “received the sinister name of ‘Green and Yellow Dagger’” - to sow political chaos by assassinating top authorities including Lula and the supreme court judge Alexandre de Moraes. “The plan was thought up and brought to the attention of the president of the republic [Bolsonaro], who agreed to it,” the document claimed. “[The plot] cogitated using weapons against the minister Alexandre de Moraes and killing Luiz Inácio Lula da Silva with poison.” News that Bolsonaro had been officially charged was welcomed by opposition politicians and progressive Brazilians who despise the former president for his anti-scientific handling of the Covid pandemic, his hostility to minorities, Indigenous communities and the environment, and his relentless attacks on Brazil’s democratic system. Gleisi Hoffmann, the president of Lula’s Worker’s party, called the formal accusations, “a crucial step in the defense of democracy and the rule of law”. https://www.theguardian.com/world/2025/feb/19/jair-bolsonaro-charged-alleged-brazil-coup 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
