Former Brazilian President Zaire Bolsonaro’s trial “was not witch hunt,” the President writes in a New York Times article in an article in the New York Times Luis Inasio Lula da Silva In response to his provocative comments Donald Trump.
In his first reaction to 27 years’ imprisonment of his far -right opponent, Lula declares “proud of the Brazilian Supreme Court’s ruling on his historic ruling” and responds to what Donald Trump said in the case.
“Brazil’s democracy and sovereignty are not negotiable,” Lulas, who is confronted with a diplomatic crisis with the United States of Donald Trump, who said he was “very surprised” by the conviction against his very beloved leader.
Trump punished Brazil by imposing a 50% duty on a large part of its products, while US sanctions have been imposed on many judges of the Supreme Court for the treatment of Bolsonaro, who was sentenced last week for leading a conspiracy to obtain a conspiracy of his 20th.
“The decision is the result of procedures carried out in accordance with the Brazilian Constitution of 1988, which came into force after two decades of struggle against a military dictatorship,” Lula writes.
“Many months of investigation (…) revealed plans to murder my own, as well as the vice president and a judge of the Supreme Court.”
Brazil’s justice found Bolsonaro guilty of inciting the riots of January 8, 2023 and the attacks on the buildings of state and government institutions in Brasilia.
And that reminded Donald Trump his own role in attacking his fans against the Capitol on January 6, 2021. This trial “reminds me of what they tried to do to me,” he said, referring to the prosecution against him.
Like Trump, Bolsonaro considers himself a “victim of pursuit” and his defense announced that he would appeal to the Supreme Court and international institutions. At the moment, it is on home restriction.
