Disorderly scene in Brazilian Congress and Trump's proposed tariffs: Right-wing strategy to liberate Bolsonaro and dismiss Alexandre de Moraes
The Chamber of Deputies in Brazil is currently embroiled in contentious discussions about a proposed general amnesty for participants in a hypothetical 2023 coup attempt. This proposed amnesty includes former president Jair Bolsonaro, who is currently under house arrest due to his alleged role in the coup attempt.
Far-right lawmakers have formally demanded amnesty in Congress for coup participants, causing a ruckus in the Chamber of Deputies. Bolsonaro's allies have pledged to disrupt congressional activity unless an amnesty bill favorable to Bolsonaro and his supporters is passed.
The political climate is tense, with large public demonstrations supporting amnesty, maintaining pressure on political institutions. Despite legal actions taken by Brazil's Supreme Court against Bolsonaro, including restrictions on his communications and movement, his supporters continue to rally en masse.
