The commentator of CNN Caio Coppolla and lawyer Vitor Marques discussed, this Wednesday (27), in The Great Debate (Monday to Friday, at 11pm), who will assume the legacy of former president Jair Bolsonaro (PL).
Bolsonaro after receiving convictions at the Superior Electoral Court (TSE).
The former president is yet to be indicted again by the Federal Police (PF) in the coming weeks. Investigators claim that the PF’s conclusions about the coup plot make clear the clandestine role of the Brazilian Intelligence Agency (Abin) in the Bolsonaro administration.
If confirmed, . Previously, he was accused in the coup d’état, Saudi jewelry and vaccine card forgery cases.
For Coppolla, it is not possible to put the “imaginary coup” in front of the natural right-wing candidate in 2026.
“The heir to Bolsonaro’s legacy is still Bolsonaro himself. Bolsonaro is not yet in prison. Injustice has not yet reached that level. And not even the electoral sentence against Bolsonaro has become final. The STF still needs to participate in this farce,” said Coppolla.
For Marques, considering that Bolsonaro is ineligible and indicted, it is necessary for the right to build a new leadership.
“[Uma liderança] that defends flags that value democracy, that aim to improve the lives of the population, with practices that comply with the 1988 Constitution. And for democracy as a whole, it is healthy that this legacy is passed on and that we overcome this moment” , said Marques.
