Salutations, PauLOUS President Donald Trump accused Brazilian authorities of launching “a cacer a de brujas” against former President Jair Bolsonaro and stated that he was “monitoring closely” his case.
Bolsonaro, an ultraderechist who served as president from 2019 to 2022, is being tried before Brazil’s Supreme Federal Tribunal for his role in a failed attempt to overthrow the government in January 2023. It is not eligible for the PR XIMO an o elections. The president has denied the accusations and stated that he is a victim of political persecution.
In his first statement since Bolsonaro’s trial began, Trump stated in a social media post that Brazil “is haciendo algo terrible en su trato” to his ally. Adding that Bolsonaro “is not responsible for anything, other than having been helped by the people,” he contrasts the Brazilian situation with his own.
Trump said, “Esto me pas a m, multiplicado por 10”. “Keeping a close eye on the brujas against Jair Bolsonaro, his family, and many of his followers.” Let’s go to Bolsonaro in peace.
Bolsonaro replied on social media that the “fight of Trump for peace, justice, and liberty resounds throughout the world” and praised the United States for “setting an example of faith and resilience.”
When Bolsonaro lost badly to President Luiz Incio Lula da Silva in the 2022 elections, the Brazilian electoral tribunal declared him ineligible to run for office until 2030 for abuse of power.
Eduardo, Bolsonaro’s son, arrived in the United States in March and stated that he was working to pressure the Supreme Court’s judge, Alexandre de Moraes, who is in charge of several investigations into his father’s actions.
Following a request from the Fiscal a General, Moraes ordered the opening of an investigation into Eduardo Bolsonaro in May, citing potential crimes of obstruction of the investigation and violent attempts to remove the state’s democratic right.
The Brazilian Supreme Court has not commented on Trump’s message.
Without mentioning Trump, Lula stated in a communication that “defending democracy in Brazil is a topic for Brazilians.” We have a soberana naci.
“We have independent and lida institutions. The law does not apply to anyone. “To those who attack freedom and the state of rights,” I added.
Later, speaking at a BRICS economic summit in Rio de Janeiro, Lula stated that there are “things more important than comentar” that Trump’s announcement about Bolsonaro has to provide.
Lula affirms, “Oc pate de tu propia vida, no de la nuestra.”
The Brazilian or even Trump critic said that any country that aligns with what the president of the United States has called “the anti-American policies of the BRICS” will result in an additional 10% arancel.
Without mentioning Trump in their final statement, the BRICS members condemned the increase in aranceles on Sunday.
“Creo que es muy incorrecto y muy irresponsable que un presidente amenace an otros en redes digitales” , said Lula. “No queremos un emperador” .
