Brazil was the epicenter of a political earthquake. The Federal Supreme Court Minister (STF), Alexandre de Moraes, ordered the house arrest of Jair Bolsonaro for making fun of a series of judicial provisions within the framework of the case followed by the former president and a select environment for the coup attempt against his successor, Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva.
De Moraes took another bold measure: tHe also prohibited visits to the leader of the ultra -right, Except for those of lawyers and authorized persons, as well as the use of mobile phones, which were confiscated by the Federal Police. The judge is the black beast of Bolsonarism since 2022. His decision has only increased the gathering of the followers of the former Army, who was warned that the breach of the prescriptions could lead to preventive detention.
The arrest warrant was issued after Bolsonaro Failure, according to the magistrate, precautionary measures imposed after an electronic ankle was placed and the use of social networks was forbidden. The ex -president came to participate in a demonstration in favor of his amnesty. “Acting illegally, the defendant Jair Messias Bolsonaro addressed the protesters gathered in Copacabana, in Rio de Janeir
“Justice will not allow a defendant to make fun of her, Thinking that it will be unpunished for having political and economic power, “said Moraes and stressed that” justice is the same for all “, so” the defendant “must” suffer the legal consequences “of the breach of his obligations.
The decision, said the Paulista newspaper ´folha`, was also taken Following the investigation that also reaches the performance of deputy Eduardo Bolsonarowho is in Washington from where he articulated with Trumpism the imposition of tariffs of 50% to Brazil and the sanctions against Moraes. The judge recalled that both the father and his children have been propagators of “illicit messages.”
Bolsonaro had spoken in turn with media when leaving a meeting with parliamentarians opponents of Lula. “It is a cowardice what they are doing to the former president of the Republic. We are going to face everything and all. What is valid for me is God’s law, “he said two weeks ago. His words flooded social networks.
“The precautionary measure of prohibition of the use of social networks, directly or through third parties, imposed on Jair Messias Bolsonaro includes, obviously, the transmission, retransmission or dissemination of audios, videos or interviews of interviews on any of the third -party social networks platforms,” said De Moraes.
Trump defense
Bolsonaro’s situation was placed in the center of the national scene from the moment Donald Trump came out in his defense and considered him a victim of a political persecution. That was one of the arguments to increase levies. The measure caused a strong rejection among Brazilians. A Datafolha survey realizes that 70% of the interviewees disagree with the road adopted by the United States.
Before Trump justified the rise of tariffs with political explanations, the Prosecutor’s Office had detected Bolsonaro suspicious movements and defended the placement of the electronic ankle before a possible attempt to escape from the country. He was also forbidden from home at night or on weekends. It was forbidden to establish contact with foreign embassies. The order arranged by De Moraes will be expected to mobilize the followers of the former state chief, who by virtue of another sanction is disabled to appear at elective charges until 2030. The trial that is followed by the attempted attempted lula contemplates sentences greater than 10 years in prison.
